Just found this one on eBay whilst looking for brochures; never heard of a Poclain "80" other than the LC80 so might be an 85 instead?

Look out that window, Eden isn't burning. Its burnt.

Someone got their numbering wrong, if it's an 18 tonner it'll be a 90. The split front screen and pilot controls make it a 90B I believe. Noisy engine, may need a rebuild. IIRC the Deutz's used to blow the head gaskets, shims were fitted on rebuild to alleviate the issue. The Deutz FL5 I had in a Cat 211 had that problem, was quiet as a mouse when it came back!

A 1962 advert for Moore's Plant and the Poclain TY45 which they sold and some where partially built in the UK.
