Recently I decided to carry out some work on my Hymac 580C which I have owned for sometime now.I originally started restoring it a couple of years ago but got busy on other work, so it was put on the back burner. At the end of July 2019 I decided I better get cracking on it, I recently posted some progress photos of it on Facebook and have had several request to show whats happening as a topic on CMN. I thought I would start with a bit of history in photo form from when I bought it up until present time.

Hi Jeremy, I have a new cab for my Hymac, it came of an ex British Waterways machine and was in really good condition. My brother painted it for me and made a very good job of it. I didn't fit when I should have and it's been moved about my place quite a lot so now I'll have to carry out some slight repairs to the paint work before I install the glass work then fit it back onto my Hymac.
