    This problem is quite well documented, Isuzu have buried their head in the sand which is what they did when they had problems with the old trooper 3ltr engine. If its on lease purchase I would park it up on the forecourt where it came from and tell them payments will be stopped until its repaired. Bob

    Bought an ex lease transit with full service history, it was due its next service and this is the air filter I took out of it. A lot to be said for doing your own services.

    Enough for a front loader on the kubota T but needs a pto pump running for the backhoe. Bob

    Not all Chinese products are junk, many are made on state of the art production lines to exacting standards. The problem is there are also sweat shops knocking out utter rubbish with unskilled labour to very poor standards in mud huts . They have not become manufacturing giants for nothing and many products we believe to be European are made there as sub assemblies. " Made in Britain" or wherever can be misleading,it may well have parts made in China within its build. Badge engineering = Caveat Emptor. Bob

    There a bit down in tread now but the BFG muds have been on the cherry picker for about ten years, considering the thing is three ton I dont think they have done bad, its also worked in some crap in its time and I cant remember having to pull it out.

    Here you go Jon clock this for a trailer . My mate popped in today with his triaxle IW with a crane fitted. He has just got it and wonders how he managed without one.

    A lot to do with the "contractor rates" Stubby and the expected KM`s they have to cover. On some of the posh estates around here they are allowed the time and they are cut to perfection. Bob

    We have them for 3ton to 20ton machines. 2`to 5` cutters The small one will cope with hedges, unless the machine is fitted with a powerpack you are juggling the available hydraulics between the machine and the head. It takes a skilled operator to get the best out of these heads. Its not as easy as it looks. Bob PM me if you need it.

    One of the trucks in the yard has weighing equipment built in ( ex council). It has an out of date calibration cert stuck on it so its feasible the weighing could be done on delivery with a weight ticket. Bob

    You need to find the fitter that did the last belt change and batter him. The bolts dont come loose on their own, its just not been tightened properly in the first place. If that lot has been rattling about on the crank I would imagine the damper, sprocket and crank will now have signs of wear which is less than ideal. If the woodruff keys are still able to stop the sprocket and damper spinning on the crank I would change the belt, degrease the crank and the inside of the damper, smear a light coat of araldite on the crank and inside of damper, bolt it all up tight and leave it overnight. That works and will last the 70,000 miles till the next belt is due ( dont ask me how I know ). That gives you time to find another crank and damper ( there`s one here you can have for nowt ). Bob
