Good morning - have you talked to Ian Hartland or any of the lads up at the Vintage Excavator Trust quarry at Threlkeld (North Cumbria)? Not only are they very well informed re technicalities, but chances are if there's an excavator in need of re-homing, they'll know where it is. Think you can contact Ian via the Threlkeld Mining museum ( they have got a website with all the contact details). Hope this helps - and good luck!
