Re: Bonser LS55 spares

Oily bits not my thing but as David Brown skid unit could this be a David Brown part ?

Whitlock did something very similar on a Ransomes crawler.

Re: Classic pictures Updated 07/01/2024

I am not sure the Transcontinental was a very big seller. Seem to remember it was very heavy for 32 ton max UK artics at the time.
