Sorted !! Finally managed to get a spare day a few weeks ago to drain the hydraulic tank and open up the inspection cover, what I found is this http://www.classicmachinery.net/forum/images/userpix/63612_2W5DT1A04BWGC1473693007.jpg . The screw on end came off in my hand so filter was useless. Finally...

Just a quick update, managed to finally get the hydraulic filter off and changed, paper filter was mush. No water or heavy sediment in the housing which is a good sign. Now changed for new and all refitted, currently awaiting some dry weather to empty and clean out the hydraulic tank and bottom stra...

No chance of getting filter cover off with a strap, tried that as well, its totally solid. Ive got some plus gas and going to put a scaffold bar onto my shifter and see if that cracks it, theres hoses running underneath it meaning I cant get a socket onto it with a ratchet, nothings ever simple!!

Hi Fred, Front one will be suction, the one I cant get off at the moment. All the filters I have changed so far on the machine had either disentigrated or collapsed so would be a reasonable guess to believe it will be fubar. I only had half a tool box with me today and it wasnt enough to budge it. I...

Believe its the 4/98? Will stick some pictures up tomorrow

Theres no manual lift pump anywhere that I can see. My machine only has a single fuel filter on the offside, not the twin setup that I presumed it should have when I bought it.

Hi,

Cracked one before I totalled flattened the battery and there was loads of air coming out, going to crack them all tomorrow and see how it goes. Going to have to drain the fuel tank as the amount of crap in the old filter was shocking, dont know how it was still running.

Cheers,
Iain
