I have removed the middle teeth of the widest digging bucket and used the bucket to support. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have used a micro excavator for this type of job in the past. They will fit through a doorway. Carry the weight on the dozer blade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took the jockey wheel (in bits) to my local bearing supplier, Hayley Group, they are really helpful and measured it up. Sorry I don't have a record of the exact bearing. But I would recommend making the effort to put the steel bearing in, pack it with lots of grease and forget it. ATB Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I replaced the crappy plastic thrust bearing in my Ifor Williams jockey wheel to a steel one. I sourced the bearing from my local bearing supplier. I had to elongate the hole that the roll pin went through with a round chainsaw file as the new bearing was thicker than the original. Hope this helps. On another note. Some unpleasant characters stole the trailer last Feb. It was a 14ft trip axle S/No. 446 006 I fitted additional rear side marker lights which if removed would expose drilled holes. If anyone comes across the trailer I would dearly like it back and would happily offer a reward. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would recommend a Kubota U17. I have one and recently needed a second machine on the same job so I hired a JCB equivalent. Compared to my Kubota it was very second rate. It is a real shame as I like support our home industries. I do also run a JCB 8025. However that will be moving on soon for probably a Kubota (deal depending) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
