This is a 1968 Smalley 360 walking excavator from England. It has a single piston diesel engine and moves around using the bucket to scoot. You start it with a hand crank. The rear legs are manuel and you pull a lever to drop them then swing around and lift up to lock the legs to keep the wheels off the ground to dig. It was found in my wifes aunts garage. The only one sold in Hawaii and one of only a hand full sold in the USA. I replaced the hydraulics and it runs great. What yall think? :thumbsup
