    Excellent company is greenmech. One of the better companies I've dealt with. Shame I've gone on 9" plus road tow or would be running a gm road tow. I do run a gm safetrac at the moment too 👍

    I saw the demo at the arb show of the eder 1200 and thought it was ace. Bought one straight away after that as had plenty of work lines up for it. Great purchase!

    Nope. Not a clue. I run wired cameras with a display in the van. I also run one on the tractor loader... i got the one for the loader first best thing ever

    Yeah I did consider buying both and sticking in a wagon body at the yard out of the weather.

    All I ever use really is type c..... had some bloody fair heat this summer! I was considering getting some type a but lucky me it's September now and coming back to cold season 😀 I may well get some type a next year due to excessive heat as has been mentioned

    I know of a little grey fergie petrol local I could buy or a little Fordson dexta. But I just can't bring myself to buy either at the moment. Don't feel interested currently

    Your accountants would usually knock 10% off your motor expenses for private use.

    Same here but been cracking the flags lately here. Weird for September

    Took a decent sized one down the other day. Just bored into the edges and put poison in as usual.

    Wet and dry tank top and used the better fuel cap on the right. Still leaked 😆 🤣
  15. swinny
    Good on you! Hope it serves you well 😀

    Definitely feel a right spanner for not sorting it yet lol 😆 but it's been low down on priorities if not been used. Wet and dry top of tank is next step I think like you say! Ahh and yes engineers blue. Forgot about that stuff. One day I may get to the bottom of it but for the other day a glove and zip tie had to do lol 😆 😅

    Bastard thing 😆 tried a new cap to no avail though I couldn't find a quality genuine one for sale... so maybe its still the cap. I do know the cap of a gx 390 fit well.... anyhow got to site and top of tank wet just from it sloshing around and being 3/4 tank full...

    I'll be up near Loch Tay back end of next month 😀 nice up there

    Yeah i know

    The whole assembly will seat to the back of the stub axle but then the front bearing is not sitting in its race..... this bearing has gone as far up the stub axle it can so it all needs to be shimmed from the rear to bring it forwards into the front bearing. Also it then needs to protrude a bit from the bottom of the thread so the big washer under the nut can push against the front bearing into the race to seat nicely and eliminate any play.

    And that's literally pulling the wheel hub up / bearing race into the front bearing where it should be then back. Shows it would need a good packing back there!

    Looks really bad in the video. It's obviously been like this since they did this. Just wish I had checked before but didn't think it would be necessary. Like I say it's hardly used. Bit of a bugger really! Need to sort it as it will eat bearings and knacker the stub axles if I use it

    Unfortunately no. I see where your going but the bearings are hugely different in size.... I think it would be like a 5mm spacer needed easily. Though when you look on the stub picture looks like a 8-10mm clean bit on the shaft then the discoloured and then cleaner bit roughly 20mm long / wide that bit where the bearing would run, before the shaft tapers for the centre to be full of grease, then up towards the front where the front bearing sits, then the flat edge and then threads
  25. swinny
    Yes it's like a spacer is missing so the front bearing isn't proud at the front if you get me to nip up and put a split pin in.... And yes it's got 2 big thin discs with a seal on to stop grease going into the shoes.
