  1. Don't remember any Leylands I worked on having a dipstick for the back end oil. From memory there's a level bolt on the left hand side of the rear casing just above PTO level. 13/1/2" spanner if I recall correctly. From the symptoms you describe it certainly sounds like lack of oil in the back end. Apologies if it sounds like teaching your mate to suck eggs but he isn't dipping the engine oil assuming one reservoir covers all is he?

     

    no his has a dipstick next to the gear box.

    i went and filled it up yesterday even the tipper and pickup hitch is juddering.

    we recently had the backend off to mend the pto and cleaned the filters then.

  2. I hit the toe of my boot the other day it went straight through to the steel toe cap which was a bit worrying i thought the kevlar or whatever is in them should of stopped the chain before it got to the steel toe cap... They were haix protector pros by the way.

     

    im not sure if there is protection on the toecaps :confused1:

  3. hi

    my mate has a leyland tractor and we are having probs with the loader when you lift the arms they drop then start going up and judder whilst doing it also they are very slow.

    I opened a joint on the backend and the oil came out like foam an spluttered occationally as if air is in.

    Anyone any ideas

    Cheers

    maybe coz I'm in my mid fourties now , and maybe its because I dont hold a massive amount of classroom time that would have bombarded my single brain cell anyway ,
