Love em ,there was a 275 and a 475 working outside my office couple of years ago and i only got a couple of pics of the 275 . Sadly replaced by Doosans. There is still a small one working here in a skip yard , in good nick for its age.

Welcome to CMN Michael-here's one of Western Excavating's Michigans working in the china clay pits around 30 years ago Tim

Here is one of John Laings Michigan 275's (I think?) having a big lump of concrete shoved in to the bucket by my Dad in the JCB 3C during construction of the M27 motorway around 73-74

JGE Commercials have some Michigan loaders for sale:

This tidy little Michigan ( 35a ?? ) rear steer loader still works hard near me, must be getting on for 40 years old now and looks like original paint .

The one father has is a 35a.Will have some pics soon but cab is currently off and has usual rust etc.She is road registered as DRL 14C, yes cornish from new!!!!!. Perkins engine hasn't had a spanner on it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yet!!

Too large for a 35. I think they had a single front loader arm and narrow cab
My guess it is an 85A
