Vin , What year is the Leyland Truck?
After the Daf take over I guess .
I am fairly sure we did not get that model cab out here .
I had a 1980 Leyland Mastiff ,that we started the business off with .

I can mind loading the early leylands , I can remember the bulldog mastiff and octopus . I think from my memory that the scamwell were more common .

do you have any pics of the mastiff?

Nice pictures vin. Keep them coming. There's very few ducks around here. Only one or two that I can think of. Case and lebiearr would be the most popular. I post my pictures up via Photobucket vin. I up load to Photobucket then just copy and paste the link into the reply thread. It works well for me. But a lot of people don't like it. I will admit I thought it was a bollocks at the start, but I've got used to it now and like it. 😉

Nice photos pal! That leyland constructor brings happy child hood memories from when a was a nipper. Going round with my old man in his 6 wheeler. Can't beat the old 80/90 trucks! With the old style proper dumper boxes with the incline on the back. None of this tailboard carry on lol

Hi 245

I have the Hyundai duck in the pics it's getting on but everything works as it should and it is a well balanced machine, a case cx 130 track machine and a Hyundai H 26 mini digger.

I will get pics of them as I use them and post them up

Hi Jim
I think with a bit of help from Muz and Stock I Sussed it out . I think the site is good for posting pics it was more operator error along with the couple glasses Pinot grigo, drinking and driving computer not so wise

I think that's all my archive stuff but will post up the day to day stuff and try to mind and take more pics
fork toes and jib extension should be here mon or tue so will post up pics when I get them

This is the kit from Brian Scott it fits perfect on the duck hitch so I need to try it on the case ASAP

i haven't had the chance to use it but it looks like it should be good.

Vin what do you think of the Hyundai machines in terms of reliability and parts availability? I have been starting to see a few more across the Prairies here.
