Good to see the old girl after all these years. I worked at chieftain forge during the time the Qcabs  were built. Looks like only the window guards and the wheel weights are missing. I lick of paint could be good.... I’d change the anti vibe mounts given here age

wow! that takes me back. only ever seen one county with that cab (chieftan forge, i think) and fiskars crane. almost bought it off a sawmill in durham called mounters. really nice people very honest about faults etc. had porous engine and bad rumble from gearbox. was tempted to buy and fix.

i wonder if mill is still going.

Drove that county for a while when I worked for John Mounter back in the early 90s. The first time I came across it was when I first started as a cutter in 85 when it was owned by a bloke called Robin Bell. It was an ex FC machine that was used as a processor before he had it. Absolute beauty of a machine to drive. Mounters are still going and now own their own woodland.
