dumper

No I think that the accumulator will allow the linkage to float No just tap the seat towards the engine and the steering column towards the seat

Draft (spelt correctly) is where the tractor senses the load on the top link when being pulled it then automatically raises or lowers them to keep the load constant usually used for ground contact ploughs cultivators etc position is where the lever position in the arc has a direct relevance to the height of the arms with fully foreward being float arms go up and down as the implement covers the ground your tractor was made to push and used mainly in reverse drive making draft useless stand on the arms and hold onto the roll cage get someone to operate each spool in order with your weight they should go down when the correct spool is moved I think the single valve ( only one way operation ) operates the accumulator into the lift circuit ie on or off the knob is to regulate how fast it responds you should have two spools on the back to operate a ram etc the thing with the blue bung I added a return to tank for mine make hydraulic powered implement better the hydraulic filter is on the solid tube on the left hand side off the engine, the hydraulic tank is the front axle check underneath the tank return could be unguarded into the front axle under the seat is a lift up leaver flip it up and tap the seat foreward it will slide off you should find another behind the steering column, the knob at the front alters the position of the column the leaver on the side underneath the spools is the diff lock the front one being on a pedal on the side next to the top link is a leaver to change 540/1000 pto and under that the leaver to operate the ground drive pto underneath the top pto on left of column opposite the hand throttle is the reverse drive lever these snap if forced, before trying to change the steering wheel direction for reverse drive take off your brake drums the shafts seize on the brake where they enter the drums bit of heat should help lude then we’ll mine suffered from running in English winters check the radiator mounts if left to wear the rad vibrates into the fan if you need to buy a water pump it is specific to this tractor the one listed by VM has too long a shaft

My guess, I can’t see a linkage position lever or draught lever also the top link is unsprung also leading me to think no draught I suggest the levers are in order from seat linkage up and down, spool valve double acting and spool valve to operate the hydraulic accumliator either on or off with flow adjusted via knob I would be happy to be proved wrong this tractor was sold as a alpine mower hence the accumulator to overcome bounce when mowing

Can you get the seat of? Looks like you don’t have draught on the linkage, how many positions on the levers are they single or dual ?

Might help to put your location

Be very careful not quite what they seem not always easy to deal with

Put up some pictures of the whole tractor front rear and side and a view of the levers from the seat I’ve had two 7700 one from new, neither looked like this on the hydraulics till I had finished fiddling with them !

What spacing were they planted at?

Rayco 1625

So look on product website see what joints are available for liner to insulated flue how will you hold it up to clear the pitch on the roof ?

Got mine from j&m belts 01375 375924

Work really well, had to get extended forks to move them about can get a little slippery if on slope used on turfing job ground was too soft even to walk over

Made this for mine tonne bag lift on pins, chain attaches in middle,for stumps and posts tow ball on top and use pins for towing eyes

Say your flue is 6inches allow 2 inches of taper = 8 inches plus flashing 10 to 12 inches, =18 to 20 inches, slates are laid to cover three times you will be needing to disturb some of next doors slates, if roof leaks your location will be poo creek

Depending on the layout of the chimney you might have to disturb his roof to flash the chimney correctly

I’d talk to the neighbour soon

I’ve found it sometimes helps to add weight to the front as well,turned up the pumps on my first skidsteer avant to lift more which it did then put more rear weight as counter balance worked well when loaded but with pallet forks or light bucket machine was on its tail before standing on rear so added conter balancing weight to front Told by avant the extra weight would damage the wheel motors

I had one of these for twenty years I’ve offered to talk him through operation not heard back

If you have a grab bucket use a roll of old chain link grab it and drive works a treat backwards and forewards

Try fielders at stowmarket made some good rims for my alpine £30 per tyre is worryingly cheap are they up to the job?

True alpine tractors have very little ground clearance, they are usually wide and not meant for mud and roots.

My alpine had a Landrive pto made it much better with a powered trailer, otherwise anything other than flat ground and it was hard work

I applied for permission to extend the house in 2007 started in 2008 at the same time also applied to build a workshop and take down two trees didn’t cut the trees down until autumn 2021 bit of a fuss but nothing could be done as work had already started and then planning doesn’t run out

T and g is always a bad idea on gates shiplap works much better also not too many nails let the cladding move, got a pair of large courtyard gates stained black they move 1/4 inch on each board during the year What wood expands and contract least ?

If you have kids and dogs for the piece of mind I would automate gate should always be shut then, plus it keeps the in-laws from suprise visits!
