Hi Folks thought I'd post some pics of a local plant company. Mc Auliffe brothers are based in Bilston I have been in their yard sometime in 1992 when I took a repaired dozer engine block back to them.
This sequence of pics are a few of many I took during a large contract they were involved in, namely the demolition of what was the Cape Hill brewery. Persimmon homes have built a large estate on the land now and got themselves into trouble when they wanted to demolish the war memorial to the brewery workers who had been killed in the two world wars
Fortunately common sense prevailed (don't happen much over here ) and the memorial was preserved.

Nice pictures Jeremy,we were on hire to Murphy's a while back and they were digging a trench and loading straight into us with a Cat 330,it was hard ground but the Cat made light work of it,very stable and powerful machine it was. Tim

Re: Mc Auliffe bros
Last week I fitted a new track adjuster seal into an ex -McAuliffe banger, I think it was A Komatsu D61px blade, one of those pat blade jobs and it was on a right steep bank, the track had popped off leaving it dragging one leg about, so I stuck the track back on, then did my best to pump the track out on the grease tensioner then drove it to a level spot and poked a new seal into the pilot housing , this was off J2 M5.

If they are interested I have a large Ruby Gem stone which i'd be willing to let them have in return for preference shares in the company, to strengthen their balance sheet.
