Obviously i have not had much to do this evening ! with the Dozer and excavator pictures i thought i would share a few backhoe loader ones, One for Julian a Steelfab in Devon, the Case 580's are on Union Street in San Francisco that was back in 1995 3 machines for a bit of trenching work, the John Deere was down in San Francisco City Centre again in 1995.

Hi David, thanks for posting the picture - Do you know the whereabouts of the machine in Devon as I would like to go and get some parts of it. Interestingly I went to Devon two weeks ago to strip parts off an old Steelfab which had been left to rot away on a farm since it had been parked up in the 1980's - pictures attached. I found an original grading bucket buried in the ground which I am going to tidy up and also took the front shovel. 24" bucket, cab glass, roof, steering ram, rear wheels amoungst other things. THe wheels are now being shot blasted and painted to use on my machine I am restoring.

Julian, it was just outside of Teignmouth heading towards Dawlish i can remember a right hand turn and it being just past the field where they held a market thats about it i am afraid. It may be woth you putting a wanted ad in classic tractors etc, i did this for massey digger parts and got a good response.
