Hello,
Heres some photos. of two of my machines at work today.
The Sumitomo 135 is a 1999 machine. It was a "grey import" which I bought 8 years ago,
It was re-tracked then, and all I have bought for it since apart from filters is a throttle-
cable and a cab door lock. ( Lucky or a good-un????)
The Fowler 33 is 55 years old and still working.
She is my next restoration project as soon as I can get her in.
Seccond time around for this one, last restored 18 years ago but put back to work.
Fred

Will certainly do so fred . I've seen it there loads of times,never realized it was a fowler though!
Re: EXCAVATOR AND BLADE AT WORK TODAY
Fred, that Sumitomo looks a lovely machine, although the control's are in front, which must be a pain at times! Have you got plenty of work on? Im living just over the way in Caerphilly.
All the best mate,
Ashley.
