Hi Muckaway.
Do you remember the “Chaseside” shovel ? usually a Ford farm tractor conversion with a winch drum at the back operating cables; as you say even makeing the old Wetherill look modern----------------toshboy

Hi toshboy
I can remember seeing an old Chaseside shovel like that, in a quarry or sand pit years ago can’t remember where though.
