Sod messing around with more general public than we already do. Firewood and or logs pita. All goes to biomass 🙂

Morning all. Been up for a while so not as lazy as you think! Off to the Royal Lancashire agricultural show today 😀 Certainly beats working

I bought a 230 or 240 amp rtec cant remember which it is but next one up from the 180. Lovely welder 👍

Few loads out today back to the yard. In the tractor from 7:10am till 5:15pm 😮 😞

They be spot welded on when manufactured. They might sell you one but I'd look at getting a fabricator to knock you something up instead

Will get one ordered up Bob thanks. Neighbour had a clock/ gauge and I screwed that directly into the block. From cold bang straight up to 45 psi.... more than the one I have fitted ever showed... that only ever got to 30psi and shook like mad. After running mid revs for 15-20 mins was sat at 35psi on idle. Not as hot as when chipping but gave me confidence that engines not kaput just yet. As I said it filled that little bottle pronto! I have a hyd system test kit but didn't go low enough psi! Will get a kit ordered and see if I can feed it behind the panel and refit panel as its an air cool engine. Will take it to yard and flog it for a bit and check pressures

Just wondering if anyone can recommend an external oil pressure gauge they trust or use fitted to their diesel engine. I have an engine on a machine and like to keep an eye on the oil pressure. The gauge has recently been messing about. It's a mechanical gauge and supplied from the sensor hole on the block via a tiny copper line... maybe 2mm internal diameter. It's been reading low recently and I took the pipe off whilst engine warm and on idle, not much oil coming out tbh.... took it off at the block and blew through with an air compressor, I do believe there could have been an obstruction in the line with the way it blew out. Tested the gauge with the airline and needle works fine. Put it back together, ran the machine which went up to 20psi (engine warm) then at idle was still suffering! Took the pipe off at the block again and put a little bottle in front. Started the engine up and it near enough filled the bottle in 3-4 seconds! I'm hoping that there is just an issue with this crappy little copper pipe and gauge! Anyone recommend an oil pressure gauge I can replace with? Don't mind if either electrical or mechanical as long as they work. Oil filter ordered up aswell to change engine oil. Cheers all 👍

Yeah farmers scraper tractor 😆 🤣 😮

Yeah I'm safety conscious. I welded on a 4-5" piece of tube the leg sits into then props the lid open. Also welded another tube upright near this that when not in use the leg sits in so you don't have to reach far to get this leg. Bugger getting cut in half by that lid 😆

This afternoons progress :

Needed a bigger box for site works to go on front loader. Have a smaller box but cannot fit 660 in and 36" bar etc fuel cans, tool boxes, ropes signs hammers and wedges. Bought this to start from : Most importantly somewhere to make a brew and have lunch on!

Maiden voyage for the trailer

You see I've tried all this and still do be nice to others and how you want to be treated etc, maybe its the people of today but I usually get shit on more often than not. Its wearing thin Haven't read your original post though by the way as only seen stubbys reply was to your original post.

I still run an old 1999 stihl fs400 that I got second hand years ago. Belting trimmers the fs400

Mulching, winching, making a mess and carting. LOVE IT!

Yup 😆

I ****************ed that one well

Sure that's what my recent order was.... got 100ltr off them bargain price but can't remember what I paid via ebay

Thank you appreciate it

Just wondering if anyone knew where I could look at sourcing a 2nd hand tracked base for a road tow to tracked machine conversion? Most likely like a 2.5t digger base etc. Don't need slew etc just tracked frame and motors tracks etc Cheers

Is that one of the newer timing belt running in oil engines?

First things first.... kettle on

I noticed that on the straight ones too. Not sure if you are aware but qrms do the rayco super copies at 5.00 each 👍
