Volvo BM 642 83:a

My newly completed refurbished 642: a Have tried to follow the original as far as it went. Newly hoods in the rear, and Motorkap plates and wheel arches and fenders. About 200 hours have been spent in the renovation as "just" includes chassis and cab! Motor, converter and Hydral was very good condition from the beginning.
Min nyss färdigrenoverade 642:a. Har försökt att följa orginalet så långt det gått. Nytillverkade kåpor bak, samt motorkåp-plåtar och hjulhus och skärmar. Ca 200 timmar har lagts ner i renoveringen som "bara" innefattar chassi och hytt! Motor, converter och hydral var väldigt gott skick från början.

Wow, My father bought the last new one in Ireland in 1983, I drove it for 17 years, the machine is still operating on a farm. You have done a beautiful job. Congratulations.

Nice,
Looks like brand new. I worked as a CNC lathe operator at the Br. Lundberg factory in Skellefteå, Sweden 1984-85. It was my first job after military training. Seem to remember that the last LM 642 left the factory in November 1984.
As far as I know LM 4300 was never produced at Br. Lundberg. Volvo BM acquired the rights to the new LM 4200 by Br. Lundberg. The articulated LM 4200 was developed by Br. Lundberg as successor to LM 642. The factory in Skellefteå still manufactures loaders, but today under the brand name Lundberg. The factory is owned by the Finnish Company Lännen Oy .

Grymt bra jobbat!

[@pearlanders]

Thanks.. The machines where made in a factory about 40 km from my hometown, Burträsk. They where made by a company called Lundberg Brothers i Skellefteå, in north of sweden. 35000 machines where produced here from 1945 to 1980, when they moved all production south.

Oh that thing is pretty. It almost doesn't look real. Thank you.

Tackar! Jo, det är nåt visst med att ratta en gammal fin baklastare! Dock så är denna bland de sista baklastarna som gjordes innan midjelastarna så hydraliken är väldigt mycket modernare än t ex 218 osv. Känns mer som en entreprenadmaskin än en gårdstraktor... :)

Nyligen lämnat fabriken🤔 suverän renovering. Detta är finkultur och borde belönas från staten via riksanikvariämbetet🙂

Mint condition

[@pearlanders]

Ja, dom tillverkade 4300 parallellt med 642:orna under ett par år, och sist årsmodellen av baklastarna tror jag lämnade fabriken 1983, för att gå över till midjestyrt...

[@pearlanders]

I bought it and reshaped it. All in about 3-400 hours.....:)

[@raymondpolitosr6527]

This is very awesome loader, it is in incredible shape, did you restore it or did you just take care of it ?

[@olzi77]

Snyggt! Är den till salu? 😉
