  1. Exactly. Got a tonne of antifreeze in each back wheel of the Harvester and that programme said 370 odd litres...
  2. Me likey the idea o that! Off to check :-)
  3. The Tsumura bar will be way higher quality than the Stihl. Tsumura and Sugi are the top two. Period. Better than Cannon.
  4. From the sublime to the ridiculous. VAGs 3.0 V6 TDI would do.
  5. https://www.facebook.com/Trustmeiamamechanicalengineer/videos/718803231594616/
  6. Those rates; cut and extract or just cut? You mention distance to loading bay but only 941 harvester? Thanks.
  7. 'nother world. I'd sooner be skint on the moors than loaded in London. Just thinking of the big smoke gives me panic attacks.
  8. You couldn't have asked that last question at a better time! Coincidence or what! 500's on mine - got some lovely tracks to fit - see pics several pages back - well happy with them; got chains too. All nearly NOS for scrap money. Richard Court might well have 600 tracks. Remember - don't run them too tight! Bruunett bogies no likey! Right the centre brake - I've just stripped and serviced mine and ordered new brake linings from OHBC (part of MICO); great co to deal with but very long-winded ordering process and parts come from Mexico once a month! Speak to Sharon Sheppard at: Off Highway Brakes & Controls Ltd Company Registered No: 2328874 VAT: GB488090120 Phone: +44(0)1386 - 555562 Fax: +44(0)1386 - 553955 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: Off Highway Brakes and Controls Ltd MICO: http://www.mico.com The Centre Brake is a "Spring Apply - Hydraulic Release" thus a parking and emergency brake in the absense of brake hydraulic pressure. You most likely have a MICO 530 series brake as per here: (excellent video). [ame] [/ame] I'm not familiar with a 678 cab console but assume you have a brake pressure gauge? Thus assuming you have brake pressure, the handbrake by cab door works ok? The linings are notorious for wearing out quickly tho. When the handbrake is "off", the cable from it to the brake valve operates to allow hydraulic brake pressure (under the cab (nearside middle)) to force the spring pack in the disc brake at the back of the cab; you should have a large brake disc. When you apply the handbrake, the hydraulic pressure is cut off and the spring pack presses the linings against the disc, which is connected to the prop-shaft. The foot brake operates the multi-plate wet brakes in the transmission - this is completely seperate to the parking brake. You will notice 2 x brake cylinders in the engine bay - under the cab front window - one for each. The brake disc slides on a splined section of the prop-shaft to allow for brake lining wear as the caliper sits on a overhead pin which allows some float; it rattles like a cowbell if the linings fall out! Here are the pics of mine... Hope this helps. My caliper is obsolete but the new one replaces it as-is; does yours have the 4 mounting holes in the bracket? Parts required are Lining Kit #20-060-021 02-530-600 has become 02-530-628. If you need parts, ring asap for the June order!
  9. Further to some of my previous posts re oil: I was talking rubbish sorry. Hytran applies to the international skid unit and in the case of the 578 is therefore all the transmission and gearbox plus the hydraulics / crane etc. In the 678, I guess you want it just for the transmission but the crane has a seperate tank and I'd imagine 46 would do. Still EP90 for the rear diff and bogies. Query - have you got 500 or 600 tyres on yours? Thanks.
  10. Top stuff but not going to be so good at putting stripes down.
  11. KAAZ aka Lawnflite Pro / Danarm / Asuka / Sarp / Kubota... Lawnflite Pro Mowers
  12. Poor box hedge
  13. What POS harvester bar is this?!
  14. M515 Master - Exc@v8 - TOTAL PLANT SOLUTIONS LTD comes with winch...
  15. Tripled up some big ones to hold the two ends of a bandtrack together when I broke the fitting staple. They held! (not to be confused with the track joiner!).
  16. 200 Stranded Marines Needed A Plane Ride Home, Here's How Donald Trump Responded | The Sean Hannity Show
  17. Take note Clark Forest! Please.
  18. The EU.
  19. I think with the exception of a few premium company's, the rest are a complete nightmare. UKMail - email stating est delivery between 12:50 and 13:50, which I am in to receive. Text option selected - when one drop away... No text, no call at door, no card thru the letterbox... AND YET the online tracking says "Attempted delivery at 13:07" Total Barstewards Grrrrr
  20. Hi Mate, Happy Birthday Jon boy, all the best mate, thanks mate, thanks Jon.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
  21. Not often enough! Should be 1000 hours or 12 months... Old bogies probably let moisture in more easily. Missing o-ring from one of the drain plugs - completely oil tight though.
