My first encounter with Stellite was at Ruston in Lincoln....they were making gas turbines at the time.......Id never heard of StelliteBucyrus were involved in Gold Dredges back in the late 1800s/early 1900. Turns out they got into open cast mining equipment and came to the UK when they joined with Ruston in Lincoln.

A mate and I bought a Mk2 Antar from Nelson Green and they said could also take anything else needed from the other one which is photographed in the article that you have provided the link to. Took quite a while for my mate to get their trust to even let him look at the Antar. When it came to price, they worked-out on scrap value. Unfortunately scrap was high at the time and Antars are mighty heavy. Understand that most of their business is selling large excavators and plant to foreign climes. Have got some good photo's that my mate took of endless old vehicles but many were in poor condition upon closer inspection. At the time, they had been having problems with vandles getting in and smashing everything they could. Given how large the site is, it must have been a headache for them to try and catch the buggers.The most impressive line up of big kit I have ever seen is Greens machinery breakers on an old disused airfield at RAF Folkingham, runway is over a mile long and the kit is laid out in corridors so end to end all the machines in a line would be about four miles long. Went there a few years ago for some obscure parts and the guy stroked his chin for a moment before pointing out the direction, he was spot on.
