Someone on here really needs to snap this one up how original and non rusty is this one.

Someone has to save that! It's pretty much the same as the one about half a mile from me!

If I had to choose any old Jcb to restore it would be one of these! I just love them! Just look like they've got so much character!

One day I will own one!

[smithhymac]

paint looks good but it's got the wrong dipper arm on it and the front loader has a few plates welded to it so I reckon it's done it's fair share of work in it's time!
but still worth saving!

It has a remarkably good cab. As smith said it must have had some stick at some time and the ad reads with the steering shot. Could almost do with a second one with good arms and correct dipper.

Mines the same, with additional plates & welds here & there, done some hard work over the years.
Just in the process of putting original style lights & mirrors back onto it. not the easiest things to come by.

Not planning a full restore. yet!

That a very nice straight machine you have there, i think it was on Ebay a while back i remember watching it, the lights will eventually show up on ebay i always search tractor lights, tractor lamps butler lights etc, i reckon that it has to be one of the straightest non restored machines around, its lovely to see it and bring plenty of memories as a 5-6 year old climbing in and out and playing on them after the builders had gone home lol!
