Hi, picture of my Taurus MK1 on wood duties earlier this year.



Cheers John

Thanks John,
Nice to see one in working mode.A handy little loader.
What breed of winch is on the old girl ?
Do you know of others that are still active?

Hi Jim, thanks for your comments, considering her age she does fine! when i first got her gave her a good service etc, few other jobs. The tracks are about tuckered so not too many harsh turns. Not far from me there is a real nice agricultural version, ag version has 4 bottom rollers drott has 5. The winch is a Boughton 404N max pull 17450 lbs.


Cheers John

Norfolk Show -whats in the foreground a Fowler loader ?

Interesting Craig.
looks like from the fowler Marshall era, as stand says fowler on half the sign and the the machine looks like as TM 55 ? or similar. Do you know when the photo is from ? The grill looks like a Challenger one to me.

Did Bucyrus / Ruston or Blaw Knox do Front loader Gear to fit them like they built bulldozer gear ?

Pics- the Royal Show Norwich July 1957 ,don't think i've seen a Fowler loader either , pity you can't see more of it.

A picture of my Bristol Taurus, hopefully, (not posted pics before). Needs a wash, as not used for a year. Rebuilt the engine 2 years ago. Always usefull little machine
