Looking for decent 8tonner if anyone knows of one, anything up to 4000 hrs on steel tracks considered.

Depends where you're based but there's usually a few takeuchi's at JDS mid Wales.

When I bought my Bobcat I was also looking at Kubotas. I asked the salesman if they Cb oils supply me a 3 tonner badged as a 2.7 for exactly that reason. He refused!

You didn't ask the right people?

Definitely heading that way if the merlo was new it'd get you a nice pad in a decent area [emoji33]

I thought you’d got a palace in Richmondshire?

Every man's home is his castle, still got a bit of catching up to your pad mind [emoji6]

It started with line boring the kingpin.... then I said feck it, do the dipper too...
Now it's a full re pin, bush and line bore,
engine recon (it's a bit smokey)
sprayjob (might as well, all the parts are off already)
New slew ring and re seal the motor ( if I leave it and do everything else it will undoubtedly fail just to spite me)
rewire (most of the wires in the engine bay have hardened)
new hoses,(cant be getting oil on the fresh paint!)
new glass ( needed it anyway)
and if theres any money left I'll bang on a rotator. (There won't be any money left, but I'm not telling myself that)
By tomorrow night all that will be left is the blade and tracks on the shed floor and a huge, digger shaped hole in the finances!
In fairness, the old girl owes me nothing and what would I buy for the same investment? Another machine in similar condition?!
I hope i can remember how it all goes back together in a few weeks time..

Edit now found the manual online just got to get my head around it.

 

Does anyone have a full pdf workshop manual for a Takeuchi TB016? 

 

I specifically need the wiring diagram right now, just got the machine and the lights don't work but due to my lack of electrical knowledge I am banging my head on the wall ?

 

Or if someone could just give a bit of a steer as to roughly what goes where it would be amazing!!

Well worth it if your doing all the work your self- the TB125 is a superb model IMO.

Great machine!

I'm doing what I can myself, it's all pinned and line bored now, engines gone to yanmar for a rebuild, machine is fully disassembled and ready for blasting and painting. The slew motor has a bit of play so that's going to be rebuilt too and the undercarriage needs a bit of work where the idler slide in, its splayed out badly on one side. 

I'll stick up a few pics as I put it back together.

It will be like new when done- keep t photos coming, funnily enough my undercarriage bit where the idler Slides in had splashed out only an inch or so, but my goodness that took some bending back- think it would be best to heat it up first- I used a Good sized bottle jack and it was pushing the whole machine sideways, and the damn thing still didn’t bend back!
