Ingimex (Bosch) tipper hydraulic oil type
Paddy1000111 replied to Paddy1000111's topic in Arb-Trucks
For anyone who stumbles across this it's HM32 (ISO/VG32). You can also use HV/32 as that seems to be the premium oil going by the stuff online. I stopped past pirtek this morning and spoke to the guys there who came out and took a look. They said they have issues with them a lot because the pins rust solid. He said the ram should slide a little side to side and mine is solid so it looks like I'm going to have to pull the pins out and clean it up a bit but it explains why it's getting better with use 👍 -
More specifically, part 30/31 on here. The high jets. I would take the bowl off, check it for garbage and then check those jets to see if one is blocked. Worth a shot for no outlay
-
Also, just looked at the part numbers and they are sided. If you're good with spanners then just swap out both spark plugs with new ones and the fuel filter and try again as this is going to cost less than a tenner. If that doesn't work I would personally clean the carb, it sounds unlikely to be the issue but it's free to clean. If none of that works then I would buy a new coil
-
Probably a dumb question but have you stuck a new plug in it? Could be that the plugs a bit shite/not firing under compression. Other than that it could be the coil like you say
-
If you take the bar off where does the oil come from? Out the oiler hole or elsewhere? I thought my ms200t was leaking. Just had the oiler too high and it was pissing out the chain and bar when it was sat still

I've blown 2 shocks, a spring, an alloy and a tyre this year. You guessed wrong 😉😂

It's worth the upgrade if your box ever goes or it needs to be rebuilt. You can have them fit the disco parts into the defender box but it ups the gearing slightly. The defender is 1.41:1 and the disco is 1.21:1. Depends what you're doing with it really though. If you're towing all the time the defender box is better but if you want something more drivable everyday the disco box makes a big change. It stops it screaming its tits off at 70

The RHS book on tree pruning and training is really good for fruit trees and how to prune espalier. Takes you through all the steps from root stock selection through to how to prune it. You can pick it up for under a £10 but it has tonnes of info in RHS Pruning & Training By Christopher Brickell | Used | 9780751302073 | World of Books WWW.WORLDOFBOOKS.COM Buy RHS Pruning & Training By Christopher Brickell. Available in used condition with free delivery in the UK. ISBN:...

Out of interest are you running the defender transfer box? I stuck the disco one on and it makes it much more drivable, less whiny too!
-
I would but I'm already paying enough on advertisement and SEO stuff that I don't really want to spend £30 on the listing!
-
It's getting the oak mate! They call me in for milling as opposed to me bringing them wood usually. I have someone who called about milling to book in actually. Hopefully this weather picks up. Water plus sawdust makes a goo that's really going to piss me off 😂

I'll give it a go. Last time I tried that I didn't get it. Thing is, I have good kit, a tidy van, a near spankers chipper, I'm always clean, polite and well spoken. I have a nice website and try to have a good company image. I use carbon copy quote forms so customers have something that shows what they're getting for their money as opposed to a business card with a price on it etc. I've been leaving a quote when the other guys have turned up, shaggy truck, aren't well spoken etc but I guarantee that their quote is cheaper. I sometimes wonder if the customer not just looks at the cheaper price but would prefer to help the "local lad" out as opposed to going with the company if that makes sense
-
I've been guilty of throwing in lowball offers when work dries up. I've stopped it now. I'm lucky as I don't have guys to care for or finance to pay and I get in the "Employee mindset" of "If I was working for someone else as a groundie I would get maybe £130 for the day, So sure I can remove those three 30ft trees for £150 as it's just down the road". Then the next week I get pissed off because a normal quote for a tree gets undercut by someone with a trailer and one of those headband visors
-
I see what you mean. I wonder why it says you can do it in the workshop manual?
-
Just checked the Ms170 Workshop manual and it says you can do it with that tool and you don't have to disassemble?
-
Ahh that's really annoying! I've not looked at the 170 as I don't own one. If you have to strip it down fully then yea, just buy a new one.
-
That's why I am wondering about the tool. It's 5910 890 4400 in the manuals. I've seen it a fair few times in manuals and thought "That would be handy as hell" especially if you clip a seal on assembly
-
The seals are £20 for the pair so just the labour. I would make a guess at 1.5 to 2 hours if they're any good at their job so about £140 all in? Then again I am pretty sure there is a tool for the seals so you can replace them in situe. Clutch off, pump off, flywheel off and then the tool pulls out the seal and you press a new one in meaning it should only be 30 minutes really. That could make it £50 odd quid
-
I bought some of their proflex type A. I really like them but the material is very thin where it's not re-enforced and I've ended up patching holes after 2 days use from getting caught on macrocarpa twigs whilst loading the chipper. I know it's hard to balance weight/strength but they're definitely too soft. I have some SIP Canopy W/Airs and they're over a year old with a tonne of abuse and they haven't had a single hole in them
-
I've Pm'd you mate as this thread is already drifting

Well, I wanted to but I've not let anyone down before so why start now. Gave them a 5 minute crash course in bollard rigging and cracked on. I was up that tree on spikes from 8:30 until 7pm with no breaks or lunch as a lot of it was waiting for ropes to be sent up etc. Everyone has sh** days and that was my sh******. No-one was injured and no lines were damaged though 🤷♂️
-
I thought my hair was going to fall out. Had to put a really light rope over the BT lines and make a drop zone as they all intertwined around the tree 😂
-
Harder working yes, but less skilled and less able. I did a sub job on Wednesday for a local company and I had a guy who it was his first day and another one who was relatively new (no idea how long) when I opened the bag of rigging kit (x-rings, trex slings, bollards etc) it was like opening a bag of alien body parts. The two groundies were awesome personality wise though and really keen to learn but just hadn't been in that situation before. Had to remove an oak over 13 power lines and BT cables. I don't think I have ever been more stressed in my entire life so I 100% agree the groundies are important too. Sadly, in the pay scale that doesn't matter. The groundworker shifting tonnes and sweating his tits off isn't ever going to earn more than the CEO drinking coffee and sending e-mails
-
I guess it's all area dependant and how well you know someone etc. On a separate note, has there been a massive influx of college kids with shit attitudes recently? That's the third time this week I've heard someone say that.
-
There's a huge list for not just kit and fuel but phones, travel, meetings, all sorts. My accountant pays for himself about 10x over by the end of the tax year! Even the silly little things like daily allowances for lunch and weird allowances for newspapers and stuff
