Nice machine man! Don't sell yourself short; that's more than a 'quick referb' there. A good number of hours I would suggest?

Very nice Pete, looking like she's ready for some work now.

Hi Jon

 

No its not Steven's old one. I bought it off an old timer who'd been in the woods for 40yrs, who was selling everything and moving abroad. He had this little skidder after having one on demo and hes had it from new. When i got it, the tin work was as dull as hell, the rear wheel arches were none existant and the roof was bent all over the place. The exhaust must have had 200+ repairs to it!!! But now i think it looks pretty good and im really happy how its turned out.

 

Cheers

Very nice!

 

You had a problems getting hold of spare parts for the Holder?

 

I have read they are hard to source now. Is it true?

Nice machine.

 

I almost bought an A60 a couple of years back and at the time the German Holder owners' club was selling facsimile operators' manuals for some models. www.MyHolder.de - MyHolder geht durch dick und dünn! or something similar.

 

btw you still running the Mog U900 you bought my old shop manuals for?

[Brushcutter]

That looks ace.
