Great to see you get her back to full health. The 803 is a great machine, although its been a few years since I last ran one! Look forward to seeing you out doing jobs with it.

@@PSExcavationsLLC I'm very much learning still on the backhoe, just completed a job using just the 3cx and it went well so getting the hang of it, but its going to take some years to get up to speed. I've watched your videos with great interest to see how you go about doing work with them - it really helps so please keep them coming - plus its great to see the older machines still out earning!

Excellent job Paul on keeping your kit running sweet you can't beat old kit it is the best all my kit is classic and from service to service is never any trouble keep up the good work pal😊👌👍

Benny, the older equipment is the way to go, maintained properly and use the best replacement parts were posible, I dont have to touch the 1988 4L Perkins in the 3CX from service to service, built to last! unlike the new stuff 💪👌
