Good tool, I loved operating them, the 75 and the 90 too. Way ahead of their time and great seating position high up.

bar the odd hyd oil leak my old fella had a poclain 60cl and a 75 cl and i used to drive a poclain 75ckb for o`keeffe haulage in harrow .they were good tools in there day and like Clive said nice and high for loading 8 wheelers .
Re: The Poclain Thread "Vive le France"!!
There is good visibility from the cab alright. I highly doubt it will be loading any 8 wheelers though. I am debating to put bushings in the bucket, would they be hard to find? Curious does anyone have any knowledge on the matter, I am only new to this

You'll get the pins and bushes OK. Just phone around the usual after market lot. The high pressure hydraulics were their shortfall but never the less very successful machines. Oh, and the original Poclain/Geith buckets where the best you could buy!

You can get bushes and bits from Digbits http://www.digbits.co.uk/ i don't work there and don't deal with them that much.. Just know of them
We have quite a few Poclains still that we break or refurb some of the yards we deal with like them as they still are good runners and they don't have all the electrical and computers too get problems with
We have some Poclain 90's out on hire one of the places being Jaguar/Landrover plant at Halewood Liverpool.
