what mods are you thinking bob
-
they will definitely be there at plantworx I fitted a quick hitch on the 3.5 t version last week its a tight squeeze there was very little room to fit the valve had to mount it on the back of the boom so far I have been pretty impressed with their build quality
-
a timber grab on the back off that would be the ticket
-
the liebherr final drives are pretty easy to unlock its a shame to see a machine burnt out it makes it worse when its a one off with loads of different hydraulic accessories the hoses going up the back off the cab on the high rise are a pita to replace
-
did they pull the sun gears out the final drives or did they just drag it thats a fairly heavy machine for a winch what is it about 25t with all the gear. was it a security turf war or just vandals
-
yep I would
-
did you try to adjust the valve clearances before you condemned it this sounds like an easy fix I've had genuine Hondas that have done the same ours blew the guts out the carb a quick adjustment and a new carb and it was fine
-
what failed on it
-
yep that would work
-
to put a hiab on where the steering column goes would need a fair bit of strengthening I would think also if you have the hiab over the bunks when your travelling the swing circuit would need to be free flow in neutral which would then be a pain when you are loading on a camber I think you would be better with an extended front body and mount the hiab on that what lengths are you planning on carrying

I was wondering that as we use the 700s on both our grinders one is 16hp and the other is 28hp just to keep the fleet the same
-
are 700 the smallest you get
-
don't waste your money is my opinion you can get 10000 psi out of a grease gun the only bother I've ever had is packed dirt and it wont clear that
-
why do you need to replace the pump if its still working
-
don't show that to the firewood guys they will be crying into their bulk bags when they see that size of timber getting chipped
-
we done ours with thin wall dx bushes in it and a nylon thrust on the top I would think that anything that was metal to metal without lubrication would last very long
-
a tap with a hammer was enough to confirm ours was bolloxed it would just randomly fizzle out of power a tap was enough to get us going again
-
no a mr g wright was his name
-
you beat me to it both our vans have had them replaced fairly common part I think they were about 150ish from the main stealer

Hydraulic fitting torque settings
Breezeblock replied to Paul in the woods's topic in Maintenance help
never used a torque wrench on them always used the guesstimation rule -
you can't be trying hard enough I think the record was 3 times in one day we've even had it on its side on an old pit ventilation shaft that the customer never even knew was there:cursing: .we have 2 honda barrows and a camisa the 2 Hondas run Chinese honda clones and the camisa runs a gx390 they are pretty good the only bother you get with them is dirty fuel clogging the main jet
-
ours spend most of its time on its side so access hasn't been a problem I don't think theres a decent size job we have done without putting one on its ribs even managed to roll one front ways which takes a bit of doing
-
I've only one thing to say .....video of it working.....
-
I had a boss like that he asked me for the dimensions of a grab for a 45t digger so I gave him the wrong sizes and he bought a huge grab it cost about 10k it was so big it couldn't open fully in the back of a bulk artic and promptly got the sack I still laugh about it yet
