Blog reader’s holiday snaps re-visited

These photos were sent into the Digger Blog back in its Contract Journal period by Terry Lloyd on behalf of his colleague Ken McKeating.

Ken McKeating had been the National Sales Manager for Marubeni Komatsu Finance for a number of years. During a holiday to Cyprus during 2008, Ken came across this Komatsu motor grader whilst on a trip up to the Troodos Mountains.

This machine looks to have undergone a paint re-spray at some point and has no model identification markings on it. Komatsu motor graders are very rare in the UK, I don't recall ever seeing one in the flesh so it's a real treat to see these photos, next time I visit Cyprus myself I will look out for this machine on my travels.

Another classic old machine I would like to see on my next visit to Cyprus would be fellow Classic Machinery Network forum member Mervyn Rowes big old Komatsu D475A dozer which he sold to a customer on the island.

This photo shows the machine at home in Ireland prior to it being transported to sunnier climes. Just love this shot as she belches out black smoke on powering up!

Don't forget if you see something interesting on the digger front while you are on holiday we would love to see it here on the blog. Just drop me an email to nickydrew16 at btinternet.com using the usual @ email format.
