[Mick Dempsey]

€400 Worth of tyre from the compact tractor decided it had enough yesterday, leaving us to handball tonnes of cord.

Goddammit!

Ten tonners turn this time.

 

A clatter and a bang after pulling out of a job with the loss of some brakes revealed a ripped off brake pipe and a stabbed rear tyre.

 

 

 

Something else must have got inside the drum because one of the adjusters was bent and there was a lump out of the wheel cylinder, also the grease seal had been torn which in turn contaminated the brake linings.

Lots of new bits because the things in for test in a month so with brakes and balance its an axle overhaul.

 

 

 

 

The seal was a funny shape on the outside so I spun up a press tool to push it in the hub ( too dear to butcher in with a hammer at £50 each)

 

 

 

All back together

 

 

 

And made up some new brake pipes for the axle. Its the 6mm stuff so you need a bender or it just flattens out.

Nope full up with kerosene. But luckily hardly any spilt, could have been even more of a nightmare nightmare.
