A 3D 111,I believe! Black steering wheel as opposed to white on mk 2s.Two levers for the front loader as well. 4 in 1 perhaps?

By the looks of the pipes down the rear boom and dipper it is piped for hammer. It does look to be missing the quick coupler on the end of pipe on one side though so perhaps not been used for a while.
I thought all 3D machines came with the 6 in 1 front bucket. That machine looks like the standard front bucket with forks, no grab function.

Thought Mk 2s had white steering wheels but I'm no expert. The black one on this 3D is of the Mk 3 design and has the longer column shaft too.

3D's had an 8ft wide front bucket fitted as standard as opposed to the 3C's 6.5ft bucket. The 6 in 1 bucket was an extra option.

Also thought the slew ram ends on the mark III were rounded, this one has the flat ends like a mark II?
where's Martyn H when you need him

[TullyveeryClassicJCB]

Mark 3's do have rounded slew pots, a mark 3 has a broader boom ram and a wire rope foothold hanging around the step area.
