Yes save it John,you can still get parts for Hymacs.Just check the old girl for fractures around the underframe tubes.If it has a Ford engine, these are cheaper to overhaul than the Perkins.
Good luck :thumbs_up:

You already know what I'm thinking John and being as I am a Hymac fan it don't really need saying.
