    Daewoo; tracing a machine history with serial#

    Hi all I've heard alot about tracing Caterpillar (especially the older stuff) machinery history by getting the serial number and looking it up in a book or in some database. I've heard some people doing the same thing for JCB too, but never one for a Daewoo machine. The machine in...

    Mystery Poclain machine

    Mystery excavators; one Poclain and another either Daewoo/early Hitachi FH series? Took these from a boat trip today. Its been a long time since I've seen a Poclain machine outside the confines of a scrapyard. This one is probably mounted with a magnet or small grapple. Apologies for the...

    Claas Lexion 600 Terra-Trac combine

    Well I'm not unfamiliar with farm machinery as it goes, my garden backs onto farm fields so you see the usual tractors, combines and various other machinery floating around - but a crawler combine is a first for me! And apparently, its not alone either. The manufacturer, Claas, makes a small...

    Koehring 666; operating weight?

    Well even with google on my side, I still can't find out just how much this machine actually weighs when in operational condition. :rolleyes: Was there a 666B or 666D introduced after the initial version? Thanks!!

    American crawler crane - any idea on model number?

    Finally got to see this crane in action, moving dismantled parts of a 60ton capacity hammerhead crane onto a Mammoet so it can be loaded onto the floating dry dock for transport to India. However...any ideas what model number of American crane this could be? American as of 1998 is now owned by...

    Mystery Fiat-Hitachi excavator

    http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/balacau/Sony%20DSLR-A350%20example%20pics/DSC01572.jpg Just snapped this picture yesterday. The bodywork would seem to show that the machine is of the older FH-series of excavators. As far as I'm aware there were only two models with 3 top rollers on...

    Mystery Moxy ADT - any ideas on model?

    Just snapped this one today. Its been a while since I saw a Moxy truck so it was a little surprising. Its job description seems to involve moving lumps of broken concrete from a Hitachi EX455 excavator to the pile prior to crushing...

    Hissing noise during excavator operation?

    After watching numerous youtube vid's and seeing many excavators at work, sometimes during digging operations you might hear a hiss noise coming from the machine (assuming its from the cylinders). Its probably something really simple but it happens often enough to make me curious. Seems to...

    Ford 775 (not 755) backhoe?

    I have requested any information on various message boards before (but not here). A few years back I saw and took a single picture of a Ford 775 backhoe while on a christmas-time holiday in Ontario, Canada. The machine is particularly larger than the backhoe machines I'm use to, also...

    Terex rigid dumptrucks: can anyone ID them?

    These were among the first bunch of pictures I took with my new DSLR camera. Its about the 12th time ive been down the Tyne river by boat but only the second time I've seen any sign of these Terex-built rigid trucks. I know its a slim chance as the pictures are not that good and the high...

    Poclain rehandler pic! Any guess on the model?

    Yeh I'm pretty excited about getting this picture as it seems to be somewhat bigger than the Poclain 85 which still works in a yard down next to the Tyne river. This machine looks a little bigger though, perhaps a Poclain 90...

    CAT 303CR scale model?

    Hi After watching a 303CR for a while doing some work in my town, I was wondering if CAT or who-ever actually made scale-models of this machine? I know there is a model for the 308C CR midi but never seen one for the 303 CR. Any feedback? Thanks

    Early 1980's Kubota with unusual feature?

    I've seen a couple of Kubota KH10's on eBay over the years; an early 1980's era machine with an unusual side-shift feature allowing a greater range of movement for the backhoe. Was this the only model that Kubota built with this feature, or were there more? :confused: Thanks

    Caterpillar 528 "feller buncher"

    In the early to mid 1980's, Caterpillar built a machine called the 528 Feller Buncher. The only "picture" if you can possible call it that, that I have seen of this beast, is one of those tiny little yellow icons which was on their product line brochure. I have never seen a proper picture...

    Morooka MTS1100 tree spade - brochures?

    Seeking information on a Ford 775 TLB...

    About 3 years back now, I had a Christmas holiday in Ontario, Canada. There wasn't much else to do just before the preparations for a christmas party began so me and my uncle who lives over there went out for a drive in his truck. We passed a chicken farm, which I thought was a warehouse at...
