Drain case returns barely have a dribble running back to the tank unless the hydraulic motor is knobbed , we use inline Ikron HF series filters.These just go inline on the pipe so there is no messing about within the machine trying to find somewhere to locate it and it then stays with the head for transferring to other machines.

I always run the case drain back separately, being able to reverse the flail when its choked up is too valuable a feature to lose. Bob

That must have been a brown trouser moment Johny, I hope you weren't knocked about too much. Around here nutsnbolts (Vosa) would have been all over that incident like a rash, they would have checked out the trucks/drivers paperwork and the tractor/trailers roadworthiness. Bob

tipping body for ford ranger 2007 twin cab needed who to use?
aspenarb replied to mitchel's topic in Arb-Trucks
The good thing about these tipper bodies that have been modified/built to go on a 4x4 is you can keep moving them on to other vehicles as the lads kill them off. The one below has been of two Hilux`s and a Ranger, this is its fourth move Put some slightly deeper sides on it this time and some lashing rings. And it lives again

If you want to keep a vehicles MOT history clean and cant be arsed to check the basics yourself before taking it in take it in beforehand for a pre MOT. Sort through that list or get them to do the work and it will go straight through. Worth it for the sake of £30. Bob

Yes, had a quick squint but there was only an allotment wanting a few cubes and that was a while ago. Bob

Chip tip needed near Aylesbury , possibly a few loads of chogs. This will be in transits on turn around starting 25/1 for about a week. Bob

If it starts ok from cold but tits about when hot I would be looking at the temperature switch. Bob

Chris before you go buying a welder check out the supply, that 32amp socket may well be ok but if it’s on the end of the line in a farm building it may well be shy of a said amps. Quickest way to knob a welder is short change it of amps, if it’s down on power it may be worth looking at some of the mobile engine driven welders instead, you can always add a wire feed unit to one of these so you have the choice then of mig or stick.

Yes it’s home grown Mick, it’s clutched through a worm drive so no problem to pull and hold. It’s a bit of a lump so needs to go in a wheelbarrow, upside is it’s got loads of grunt and in the absence of an anchor point can be pegged down in the middle of a lawn with four 4’ long 35mm steel pins, these are angled forward so the harder the pull the more it digs in. Not had an ohfeck moment with it yet and it’s pulled in a lot of ugly trees. Bob

Dealer back is always important, we have an LG importer in Portsmouth and everything seems to be next day, phoned through for a door glass at 3pm and it was at the gate 8am the next day. Even the service engineers are next day, not so sure how they fair up with service and spares backup elsewhere in the country. Bobcat seem to have got their act together in recent years, had a play on @doobin ‘s latest toy a few weeks ago, we’ll speced machine and again with decent support/ backup from the manufacturer. Bob.

It’s been very well behaved to date, new tracks were only about £1,100 for the pair and they were delivered to the site next day, only job/mod I have done to it was extend the fuel inlet pickup pipe in the bottom of the tank. The original hoovered everything up from the bottom, it now has about a gallon capacity as a sludge/crap/water trap. It’s not really Chinese , they have zf hydraulics and kamatsu engines. I will buy another one in the near future. Bob

There is nearly three times the power of a 6" chipper under the hood of a Landrover , there is no reason why it couldnt be sorted out properly to equal or out perform a tow chipper. Most PTO chippers need tinkering with to get the best out of them, an example of this is a lot of guys run 540 rpm pto chippers at 1000rpm and then turn the engine revs down. Once you get it right they are good, not many are fit and forget. Bob

You can get a pto to the rear of a landrover quite easily, they used to make a box that reversed rotation and stepped down the speed to make it the same as a tractor PTO ,this bolted to the rear cross member and gave you the pto spline, weak point is the clutch plate hub centre which needs beefing up. Engine speed is then controlled with a speedic unit to maintain correct pto rpm. I have a few kits in the shed, I will take some snaps. Bob

PTO will work on a landrover but not on a side plate gearbox PTO like on the jap 4x4`s. The landrover PTO comes straight off the back of the transfer box and if its run in 4th gear the engine is directly coupled to the PTO without using any of the gears (4th is 1.1 and only coupled). The type that run off side plates of gearboxes max out at about 30hp and thats for a truck box. Bob

Forum closing for maintenance this evening at 10pm

Yes, back up to speed. Bob -
That would depend on how long you have been running, most start ups would take a minimum liveable wage to allow a business to grow. If you are still on this ten years down the road something's probably wrong.That said even when established drawings still need to be a realistic sustainable amount. Bob

The best tools for repairing internal threads are the ones that start at the bottom of thread, you then expand them and turn them out. Trouble with starting at the top with a conventional tap is the danger of overcutting. Bob

Steels up now , last concrete pour on a mezzanine floor .

An ibc is like a lighthouse to the great unwashed, if it’s static in the yard it’s better to go bundled with a lockable compartment for the pump/nozzle. There is a guy in Findon that just bought a shed load of ex hire bundled tanks in various sizes, these are already lockable with hand pumps etc already built in and he is selling them cheap. I will try and find a link. Bob

Those half barrels Mick Dundee knocked up are good for day to day machine filling, no mess. Bob

This site has always been really slow to navigate from this end since the revamp but always worked until recently, its not been reliably accessible for about a month now and is still timing out. Bob
