Pic 4 I'm not sure I'd be scooping up the rubble with all that timber hanging overhead.

Might be a Ford 5000 with a Shawnee Poole dump trailer?

Did a certain MF 550 take centre stage ?

There may be some on Ebay. Not loads of that model in the UK. I think it was German built for the continental market originally. At that time IH seemed to have a mass of different models world wide. Edit: On a quick look, I think the engine of the German 523 and the Doncaster 484 are the same basic ...

Whatever you find move cautiously to make sure something does not over tighten at some point. I am sure you know that anyway.

Are the glass doors present?

Have you till got the alloy frame?

Is it cutting out or stalling?

Funny the optics going on looking down on the track shovel.

We have not anything on the Weatherill thread for a while, the following are unashamedly nicked of Ebay.
