Now that we have finalised payment for the mighty Poclain 115, it is time for us to breathe enough life into the old girl so that she can lift the bucket and move under her own power.
Since the last video we have managed to pull together most of the parts that had been spread to other locations, and also secured a used but hopefully functional hydraulic pump from another 115 Poclain.
We have stripped down the old pump so that the shaft and body can be used in place behind the motor to support the drive shaft while we fire up the Deutz Diesel power plant.
Please join us in this amazing scenery for part 2 in the Poclain Restoration Project
