I'd really want a steering wheel for that price, and some Empire Blue (so folk didn't think I'd caught the Lurgi and bought a

You chaps are really cruel!!!!
That is a Super Major! At least that is what it said on the badges back in the day.
Could be very handy lifting Dexta engines out!

Re: My Hudson Kiwi Crane for sale
I should imagine it will lift a lot more besides Brian and will end up treasured in someone's collection
Like a lot of the other machinery based on a skid unit, the line of quite what is and isn't a tractor blurs in my mind.
No offense meant to the advertiser from here, just a gentle leg pull
