I suspect it's earlier, possibly one of the first 2BII's. It became 2DII in December 1970 when it recived the 4/98.

I didn't expect that, those were extras! Great to see, even better if it's story isn't lost as so many are.

This backhoe is being sold with the attachment shown in the photo; the one I have is a '67 model—it has external backhoe hoses and no cab-integrated headlights, and the original 3-cylinder BMC engine is still running!
