This is (was?) sitting in the scrapyard the other day. I almost bought this machine years ago, it was sitting next to my 983 when I bought it.

Cummins 903 and fiberglass body

ALong with it there in the scrap pile is a real nice 666 Koehring, an IH 175B with 4 in 1 bucket, a TD15B with brand new UC, and a decent-looking 955K. What a shame.

Looks like it is being used for a retaining wall to hold up the pile of scrap.

Shame to see equipment die but with the price of scrap being up, it make sense to scrap it.
