Have realised this is a different - smaller? - machine from the big Ruston-Bucyrus. |

Does that say 32B on the side? |

Yes - I'd thought a builders number, but our other 32B has same big script as well - /vehicle_724646-Ruston-Bucyrus-32B.html |

just for your info the B doesn't stand for version like A, B, C , D etc B stands for Bucyrus , for example MARION had their models named in same format 2 or 3 digit number and letter M like 37 M , 47 M etc -- Last edit: 2014-08-27 21:03:03 |

So is there a difference between xxRB (presumably Ruston-Bucyrus) and just xxB (Bucyrus on its own??) - reference this pair of 32B and a single 52B currently as Ruston-Bucyrus???? |

yes RB is for Ruston Bucyrus while just B is for mother company Bucyrus-Erie this is true for post WW2 I am not sure for pre WW2 Ruston Bucyrus is they also had just B or already RB they are the very same thing just different badge mostly HEre a good example at the back it's written Ruston- Bucyrus but still has just a B in designation, so for old ones having just B doesn't mean that's a Bucyrus-Erie... http://www.geoffkirby.co.uk/PortlandArchivePictures/assets/images/JC03135.jpg being filmed in UK I suggets all are listed as Ruston-Bucyrus unless clear marking of Bucyrus-Erie .. !! -- Last edit: 2014-08-27 21:59:11 |

Agree - avoid confusion with Bucyrus-Erie. But was there an earlier plain Bucyrus range using the xxB series before becoming Ruston-Bucyrus?? See this lonely /vehicle_537003-Bucyrus.html with just Bucyrus logo on arm?? |

that thing is an american Bucyrus only not UK origin and looks steam powered so very old !! because Ruston bucyrus was founded in 1930 and that is surely a pre 1930 by design here short history of Ruston-Bucyrus http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/Ruston-Bucyrus BTW I would remove "unknown" model of that , with this pre WW2 things you should very lucky to get even the producer... nevermind the model -- Last edit: 2014-08-27 22:35:14 |
