How old do think this is? Were they any good? The only IH machine that I saw near here was on the beach moving cockle shell a few years back. It looks straight but I should imagine spares would be a nightmare.

As i recall, late 80's/early 90s vintage. A pretty good old piece of kit, the firm i was with replaced them with jcb 800 series diggers which were'nt so good. As you point out spares are probably going to be a nightmare. Everything was IH specific with the exception being that i seem to remember Deutz engines were an option.

Thanks for the reply.
