Nice pics! My father ran some 295s and 270s back in the old days.

Nice Photos Malcom. By the looks of things there are 3 or 4 lying about as well as a Payhauler or two in the background. Are these ex Bakers by any chance?

That looks like an 817 engine? I heard they did not last long in this application? I think it was one of the better sounding engines I have heard.

4 x 295 scrapers and 5 x Payhaulers!

Looks like one of the largest earthmoving fleets in NZ is in sitting in that field!

Thanks for the additional photos and I am sure there is an interesting story behind them all as well. Keep em coming!

My neighbor had an old 295E paddlewheel. They used it in there road building business and when they closed parked everything she had a weak motor but he had a new one in a crate for it. It sat there several years and the torchman got it Very sad day got a running 260 AC and a Gradall and an IHCTD25 that I had run a few months before. I still miss seeing it in the field. I tried to buy it once I knew where a deal wwas in a working Clark 290M but I didnt have a push tractor I had a man wanting the 295 cab for a water wagon and I wanted an elevating scraper. The first time I got to climb in the bowl I was amazed at how high the top of the chains were.
