Thanks Allan627b
HEF is a great forum.
Its great to see the older and newer members of the industry sharing ideas and information.
My name is Nick Yeatman my brother Hoss & I run an ag contracting business in Mid Canterbury NZ. Check out our website
www.agcontracting.co.nz (needs updating).
The first 2 pics are 3 101fs & a 101g belong to Len Rankin Earthmoving's from Tekauwhata just south of Auckland, we purchased the machine with the primer cowl for parts. as far as I know the rest are still for sale, they also have a large inventory of parts for 101fs.
The 2 222 pics are of a machine we imported from Drurion Australia in Oct 08, port pic is in Lyttleton NZ. Transporter is ours, trailer is an MTE Made in NZ, 3 rows of 8 widening unit with an 11 meter bed, ideal for larger scrapers.
The 3rd pic is one of our 101fs building stopbanks in South Canterbury, for those that may be interested the machine is made up from 2 originally owned by Francis Earthmoving from Christchurch NZ, we purchased the machine from Issac Construction when they took over Francis,s equipment in 2002.
Anyone looking for a cure for the top shaft and elevator gearbox woes that beset these otherwise reliable machines should flick us an email and we will show them our modification.
