I thought GMAW (gas metal arc welding) was an other name for mig welding?

When I bought my 372 new, it came on a 15", used up plenty of 15 bars on it with no problems.

I know but trying to keep it simple to work it out in my head while typing. Makes no odds to me, as I`ve settled on my vehicle being commercial speed limits. What grade of diesel are we talking about? summer/winter? call it 850 grams per litre for argument sake. 61.2kgs 90% of 80l 2176.2kgs mass in service would put you in DPV class not 2187kgs as posted before.
-
Just to muddy the water even more! ask the dealer what the mass in service would be stated on the log book? I would guess if no other figures where available plod would use this to ascertain the unladen weight, I believe mass in service includes 75kgs for driver and 90% fuel, toolkit, jack, etc. I my case, `13 plate ranger double cab 3.2, log book states 2228kgs mass in service less 75kg driver, and 72kg (90% of 80 litre tank) gives 2081kgs, I dare say you could argue that the tools and jack and other bits and pieces would come to 41 plus kgs to be in DPV class, but I`ve settled myself to think it comes under commercial speed limits. If the mass in service was stated as around 2187kgs (assuming 80 litre fuel tank) there would be no argument that it was a DPV.

I`ve found Oregon duoline to be good, in 3mm for a 40cc Husqvarna, long lasting cutting up to rough stone walls, and not splitting where it exits the head, unlike some other cords I've tried.

I thought they where about 7-7.5ton gross. Cant see you carrying 10 ton in the box unless you moving lead ore:biggrin:

I assume your neighbours tractors where full size models, the OP`s tactor is a compact. Ty, have you had more metal since changing the oil last time? I`ll try and speak to someone I know who works in the local JD dealers see if he`s come across it before, although they do compacts in a different branch.

Atkinson Vos Ltd Mercedes Unimogs - Specifications Off Atkinson`s web site, it does not list a 1450, but does list a 1250 which I believe is the same bar engine output, gives a 4210kg dead weight, but I think that is for a basic chassis cab, so the 3290kg payload stated would have to include weight of body, rear linkage, pto etc. I think skyhuck on the money at around 5000kg tare with body, chipper if mounted would have to be added to that, so with a heavy chipper of a 1000kgs, would give you 1500kg capacity.

The new cats are a badge engineered wacker neuson, with a couple of small differences, bucket pin size I believe is one, A mate of mine has one of these small cats 2.5t I think and is pleased with it. I have a Hitachi 7.5t and an JCB 3cx, a neuson et20 would be my next machine purchase, just over 2 ton not much bigger than a 1.5t with tracks retracted, only slightly less reach than a 2.5t, with slightly less brake out force, with what appears to be decent build quality. My thinking for that weight is, you could carry it on a 3.5t tipping trailer (most seem to carry 2.3t to 2.6t) with attachments.

UK Forestry in serious trouble?
Craig. replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I was in kronospan chirk earlier today, speaking to a bloke from there he was saying they are planning on taking less round wood, and more saw dust, and I`m guessing recycled material. I know chip is not the best, but surely a reducing market for it is not a good thing. -
I think there is some thing about bare, unprotected hydraulic hoses within x cm distance of a operator, hence the use of burst sleeves, covered in, or remotely controlled valves on CE marked machinery. And agree with you out the injury's caused I know someone who nearly lost his thumb from a pin hole leak on a hose.
-
As cornish wood burner said about the loop handle, also if your on embankments, in ditches, or anywhere that's not reasonably level a loop handle is best, if heavy brush cutting the bike handle would be the better bet, in my mind.
-
As others have said that looks a top job trailer, must of been gutted to find that gone. You could try posting the same type thread on the unimog club uk forum, I think they are on facebook as well if your on there.

Don't know if there is an off the shelf one available , but if you have a truck tarpaulin maker close by, they should be able to make a fitted sheet for you.

Tipper trailer charging and work lights on trailers
Craig. replied to william127's topic in Arb-Trucks
You could use a 12s socket/plug like on a caravan, that could give you power for charging or power sockets, and use the spare fridge control pins/ wires for work lamps or beacons. A simple way for beacons is use some low power consumption lamps wired into side lights with a switch, or a din pole mount, just means you would have to get out to turn them on, or mount the beacon. Caravan 12S Wiring Diagram Or change for 13 pin sockets, which would have a 12v pin could be used for charging / power supply, and fridge control pins which could be used. 13 Pin & the UK | Right Connections You would need to have the charging ideally done through a split charge system, also fused, so if the battery when flat, your not trying to power the tipper through a small wire. -
The best way to check the health of your battery is a drop check or high discharge test, most mechanics or garages should have the tester, a hydrometer to check the state of charge in each cell. The drop test will show any weak cells, while the battery still shows a usable voltage.

When you put the screw back in to extract the taper once you get a bit of tension on it, some times you need to give a light tap to the outer part of the pulley, be careful not to hit the extreme outer edge where the belts go, as that can easily crack and bits break off.
-
Is it like this type? [ame] [/ame]
-
Are the grub screws allen bolt type? and are there other holes with no screws in? It sounds like the pulley is a taper lock type, remove the screws and then screw back into one of the other holes and this should loosen the inner and outer of the pulley and then slide it off the shaft.
-
In your opening post on this thread you said you wanted a short wheel base, The `50 in the model number indicates a long wheel base. You might of changed you needs since then, but I though I would just say in case you when looking for some thing you don't want.

My old fransgard doesn't have a butt plate, just a leg on each side so I can go back to the pick up hitch on the tractor, running the cable under the winch and in between the legs.

We where on a job last year, there was a Iveco van with cherry picker on, that came up with similar symptoms you've said, cranking over but not firing and a warning light on. The lads with the van had this problem before, and just took the keys out and walked away far enough for the chip in the key not to be read by the van left it for a couple of minutes, came back and it started OK. I know it wont help you fix it, but might get it running again?

Did the older land rovers have a slight recess in the bonnet the shape of the wheel to keep its height down, to help visibility. Would the wheel be quite high up on a td5, do they have a bit of a bulge in the bonnet?

Yes all low sulphur now, just some may contain bio fuel, as dyed road fuel, and some may not.
