  1. has anybody used the piston and barrels of ebay for a k760 there about £40-50 are they a good enough quality also what is the max rpm this should run at as i haven't got any info on said saw
  2. yep we done it to ours and it worked quite well until it seized years later
  3. I've heard various horror stories regarding fasttracs i am a heavy plant fitter and i would avoid one one lad spent so much on repairs he sold them back to the dealer then leased them back and still came out on tops
  4. tracked dumpers at that size aren't gonna be that stable by the time you plonk a chipper on top why not just tow it with the dumper and save the hassle
  5. 15w is more viscous when its cold 10w offers less drag when cold starting
  6. the brake is basically 2 discs that have a concave and a convex face with 2 bellevile washers either side and they are keyed into each side
  7. the ones that we've done have a damper brake on the pivots to stop this
  8. has this turned into an overloading thread
  9. yep but i don't think it'll be that quick
  10. low pressures are usually caused by worn pump or motor or relief valve out of adjust generally speaking if the motor or pump is worn the pressure will increase as rpm goes up also when it gets warmer the pressures will reduce
  11. yep but the valve block is only 3/8 bsp i think post borers are 1/2 i don't think there will be enough flow as well i aint to keen on raising the rv pressure as the machine is built fairly light i don't really fancy bending frames and links
  12. almost forgot to post picture of its first job we were trying to find its limits so today its been bogged rolled front ways and then flung a track all in all a good day a bit of mods to get done as the timber slipped out of the lifter so i welded retainers on the bottom and put an extra pulling eye on the front of the chassis to stop it flipping front ways when its pulling
  13. it probably could be adapted but the hydraulic rv is set to 110 bar so i think this would be a bit too low for it
  14. before you even think about touching the hydraulics get a gauge on it and read the pressures
  15. is it 1 or 2 cyl take the plugs out and make sure your getting a good spark go for basics first
  16. sloppy bearing fit is the cause of that refit the new shaft and bearings with loctite and it'll be fine
  17. we've got the diesel version and they are good chippers we have had a few problems but they wouldnt put me off. blades come from saturn the bottom roller seizes up because of the cover underneath take the cover off and fling it the stress control is a good unit but poorly situated where it gets hit with water the bottom roller shaft breaks thru the circlip groove and the bearing fit on the shaft was poor resulting in sloppy bearings
  18. larger is usually the return change the fittings to 3/4 as they are cheaper and its unlikely that a mini digger needs an 1" coupling for the amount of flow that the pumps produce
  19. woop woop springs arrived ace no more getting soak to the skin
  20. idle hands makes for the devils work i hope that was landy and not lady
