And that's whats good about this site with most ppl. Well done aspenarb.

As forest tink says if its an x torque there was an issue with a cast mould. Im sure I posted the solution some time ago if you do a search. Ive forgotten what it was now but involved a minor bit of sanding with wet and dry, possibly the rear of the worm gear.

2.5 seems a bit gutless to me with a loaded ifor on the rear but personally but never driven a 3ltr so that would be my option, the bigger the better.

£13.63 ex vat part number 1135 120 2700 Available from L s engineers online as radmores is a bit of a drive for you mate. If your in no rush and want to get it thru radmores you most likely will still need to order it but I could prob pick it up as 5 mins down the road from me and i could post it or possibly get it on a works van to drop off to you.

I would say tank breather would be first thing to check to.

By changing gearing it would effectively change torque. Think of a 4x4 it produces more torque to the wheels in low ratio box compared to high ratio. Doesn't mean I think its a good idea when it comes to pto tho. As said, said machines have an rpm rating which should be stuck to for obvious reasons. Also tho as mentioned you don't want to make it the easiest on the tractor as they will glaze up the bores and lose engine power and compression making harder starting etc.

Seems pointless to me. We all know a splitter splits easier from the end grain rather than cross cut/split. Why waste the extra energy/fuel and then end up with a sandwiched log to show for it? Would need to be heavier duty, less efficient and need more power to produce the hydraulic forces involved. May be fine on a tractor etc but no use if you used something like a Honda 13hp motor or whatever. Then on top we only see softwood being used to cap it off. Lets see a bit of knotty hardwood or bit of eucaliptis in there and see the look on the operators faces when they realise it could shoot off at any angle when its under serious pressure and not splitting. Im not sure customers would be to happy either as looking at the finished log delaminating etc they would burn much quicker and prob give off more splinters etc to.

Im more Clarkson than May put it that way. Ive had a few accidents in tractors being a farmers son. First thing I drove being left alone at about the age of 9, I had to stand up to push the clutch or brakes down etc Weirdly back then there was hardly any 4wd tractor apart from the roadless and most farms would only have 1 4wd. Times have moved on and things have got bigger tho in all respects. As swinny says tho a 4wd 100hp is a nice size for woodland/forestry work etc. Many are surprised what can be done with one yet small enough to be nimble thru woods etc.

I couldn't agree more with Stubby. Not sure on the dolmar but the echo has a good warranty with it to. Ive always been a stihl/Husqvarna man but currently the small-midrange saws available by them don't cut the mustard or one reason or another and im tempted to jump ship to give both the above a try. :thumbup1:

Yup be interesting to hear. I would've checked the thermosat first and flushed the radiator before taking the head off. The injector sleeves will only leak water really if they aren't fitted. They are pressed in situ with a special tool and loctited and cant go anywhere if the injector is in place anyway. O rings on the sleeves wouldn't pressurise just weep water into the sump.

Well rather he than me Im nearing the end of a fair restoration on mine.. I certainly wouldn't stick a trailer like that on one! I would think hes over estimating given the size of a 10 ton trailer as thats a fair twin axled beast plus the ability to stop. Ive had a few pucker moments dreying a 10 t trailer with a tw120 4wd let alone a 67hp 2wd.

There you go Long Universal UTB 3 Cyl Diesel Engine Overhaul Kit 2360 2460 350 360 460 445 | eBay

Weve got exactly the same tractor in 4x4 was orange but now green. They built the same unit tracked to. As you say its based on fiat. I think on the vin it says utb? or something like that. Do a search for long 445 tractor and they still make them today I believe and bits are available in that demise. Its only a 3 cylinder so personally I would stick new bearings and shells in it.

I would quite happily stick a 5 ton trailer preferably braked on my 684 if its on hard ground. (684 is just newer version of the 674) I wouldn't want to go anymore than 6 ton. Just make sure your brakes are tip top and not got the usual ih issues of leaky o rings etc. Will quite merrily pull an unbraked 3-4 ton trailer around all day long.
