Mike, hi and welcome :wave: I've just had a quick browse through our downloads section but can't find any Track Marshall stuff there, there should be plenty of members on this site who have some experience of these so I'm sure some good advice will be available if you get stuck with anything. :thumb...

Looks a nice machine that you have there Chris always good to see a classic in great condition.

Went to see Brian with his George Fowell dumper today. An hour away but well worth it to yak with another owner and one who knows all about it. Brian spotted that the ally gearbox pulley/brake drum is from the earlier "belt beside offside wheel" model and is larger diameter than the steel...

Great job looking good getting the new shaft made was probably the best way forward.

Love the top photo with the Poclain TCS any ideas where that was taken? Lovely 70's shot with a good old 'Woolies' in the background.

The third photo down is near Chesterfield, the famous twisted church spire gives the location away.

Having completed the restoration of the 580BT control levers, my next task was also unplanned, while running up the Poclain during one of my visits, I discovered a cracked track link :| also she has developed an oil leak from somewhere underneath by the rotary coupling which I had replaced the seals...

Some cracking old photos there Steve love the last one with the Hymac 580BT an other 580 machine.

Hi Keith and welcome this is not a machine that I am familiar with, perhaps another CMN member can point you in the right direction.
