This is (was?) sitting in the scrapyard the other day. I almost bought this machine years ago, it was sitting next to my 983 when I bought it.
Cummins 903 and fiberglass body ALong with it there in the scrap pile is a real nice 666 Koehring, an IH 175B with 4 in 1 bucket, a TD15B with brand new UC, and a decent-looking 955K. What a shame.
Looks like it is being used for a retaining wall to hold up the pile of scrap. Shame to see equipment die but with the price of scrap being up, it make sense to scrap it.
Damn! that sucks, that thing looks like it's in good shape even if it is holding up that pile of scrap.
what does wb mean on a bucket
werk-brau; is the bucket manufacturer
Learned to drive truck in a Mack with a 903 cummins.That was one smokey SOB! Hookin up a tilt bed was horrible,it had under the cab exhaust.

The price of scrap is way up, similar situation before the wars........ everyone getting rid of iron...... hang on to what you got if you can, it'll be worth it's weight in gold!
