Help me Identify this machine please.

if it could be sorted at a sensible cost, looks like it has the makings of a decent enough tool

I can provide the link to the sale, however you may not be able to see it because it has ended and it was a classified add. But you can try.

We had contact with a Schaeffer specialist or what have you and he said that is isn't a schaeffer. IT is a botched job, there is some dodge engine that doesn't even link up properly with the drive shafts etc. We have been well and truly had with this one. But we are just trying to identify the digger its self so we know what we actually have because there isn't any manufacture plates on it or anything that could give any information towards what this machine is.

Here have a look at the link.

just looking at this again ..... it's hydrostatic drive, so should just be a pump/set of pumps attached to the motor ... no transmission as such or drive shafts

Reckon Muz's suggestion may not be too far off the mark ..... does not look to have done anything much

Hi, Yes you could be right Muz, yes hydrostatic drive the gearbox or pump is in it, but the engine in it is not married to the pump, it has just been set into place and wants replaced with a compatible unit.

No it has not done any work that I can see, I would love to make it work and give the clever arse i got it from the single digit ! It would or could be a very useful thing, lots of the hydraulic pipes and electrics are Italian !

The forks are just of a fork lift and the brush is for a compact tractor.

Its a shame to see it just sitting here doing nothing, needs an old school Mechanical Engineer on the job !

I was told by the seller, it was his fathers, we cant get it to start, possibly fuel pump, but in reality it is far from just a fuel pump !

Well .. lets break down the problems .. some posts and pictures added and we'll see what we can do ?

Absolutely guys ... (and thank you Stock- much appreciated) ..... looking at the pix in the ebay ad., I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a hydrostatic drive to all hubs anyway ..... so shouldn't be a huge task to at least make it mobile ..... unless of course the motor is any old lump just sat in the bay on blocks .... might require a little more 'input' then
