Its not built to win a beauty contest but to dig holes an move muck
Trouble is......it couldn't do that very well either.
Here is another machine from the 60's .. the Massey Ferguson 203X ..
...... Note that the operator and control station swings with the boom
later became a MF40R with backacter controls in cab and a flip over seat.
Was it not a 2203? and a 2205?
I hope whoever came up with that idea got thrown off of one and learned not to build them that way. I also hope the swing was slow.
Got any pictures???
I belive it did become that, when it was based on the massey 135, it had the square type mudguards ..the picture i have put up showed it with a 220 backhoe and 702 loader.. dont foget the backhoe was a Davis design.
It was quick if i remember rightly,but not as quick as the Case but i dont recall anyone getting chucked off .. but i do recall some cowboys driving the things not many mind, but a few.
Below is a picture of the JCB Hydra/digger with a 65 loadall, it was made in 1957 and was centre mounted
please god someone stop!!! These pictures are getting more and more hideous!!!!!
I have a 580 that has a repaired boom on it. I have been told it is dangerous to use. It looks like a strong old repair and I was wondering what anyone's thoughts were on using a boom that has been welded?
