What a great video. Thanks for putting your time into it and working your own 370C. Looking at your 370C a few parts there we used to supply to HY-MAC. The rear bucket linkage, the stabilizer feet and the stiffener gussets welded into the rear wheels. On the 580C we drilled out the mounting holes on the counterweight. As it was cast of scrap metal, not an easy job. Pilot holes and patience to get it done. I didn’t realize until this video that the POWERFAB is a 125W, earlier than the 125WT. It had its own trailer. It would be interesting to know the machine number. The 125WT as the logo says has a trailer built in to the design. My sisters grandson was at the show, just 4 years old looking at all the machines especially the POWERFAB , as his great grandfather and his 3 brothers owned the company. 👍🏴🇺🇸
Wow thanks Paul for the information! Great to know you had a part in the HYMAC story along the way, the Powerfab 125 WT is a great example, don’t think we’ve got any footage but a Powerfab 125WTD arrived in the guise of a Lifton 125, basically a Powerfab under a different manufacturer and yellowish in colour, hope your sisters grandson enjoyed the weekend, fantastic connection and a history to be proud of, it was a very well attended show and we raised a healthy amount for local charities over the course of the weekend, hopefully see you next year👍
Thanks, I’ve got to be honest I’d never heard of a Wabco C Pull, don’t think they were used in the UK but I could be wrong, I just looked one up on TH-cam, mean sounding with the Detroit Diesel humming away and elevator chains loading the box,it was usually a Euclid scraper box with D8’s or D1O’s pushing behind even though the scrapers had two engines they still got stuck
Thanks Sali, hope you had a fab time, something for everyone, glad you could get to have a go on the 370c and experience back in time what it would have been like digging back in the day👍see you soon

Great to meet you finally Rob, a really good show and something for everyone, hope you haven’t got the “bug” to buy an old vintage machine now😉👍
Love this video, great seeing the old machines in action! 👊
