Re: Small gravel pit Essex 1964
Trouble is these days they don't credit kids with having any commen sense so they are not allowed to do anything and because they are under the constant watch of the risk aversion police they never learn anything about risk taking . Not saying it was a perfect world because it wasn't but I'm glad i ...

Re: Small gravel pit Essex 1964
Nice one Pete . Particularly like the footage of the lorry being loaded . I was 6 in 1964 and I used to stand and watch scenes like that whenever I could . I was totally in awe of the men and the machines they were driving. Those were the days when you could let your kids play in the streets so our ...

Re: Jcb3c 2
Jcb all up and running now. I'm surprised at how much more responsive it is .I guess that's because of new hydraulic oil and a clean suction strainer. ( plus no leaks) Thank you all for your help and advice.
Regards chris.

Re: Jcb3c 2
Well famous last words. Where is the steering pump located? Is it behind that panel underneath the steering column ?
Because I couldn't do that I spent half the day greasing everything thing and repairing the hand throttle cable which has been broken since I got the machine.

Re: JIC couplings
Hi hair bear. Can't you ask the ram supplier to send you some new couplings to suit the ram fittings and then have them grafted onto your existing hoses . That's assuming you have a bit of movement in the existing hoses ? Might be better than a constant drip ?

Re: Jcb3c 2
Well I did get onto the job of removing the sump today. In fact that's as far as I got because there was at least half inch of solid sludge at the bottom and mud stuck to the oil that's been leaking all over the outside of it. That turned into a major clean up job. By the time I'd done that I though...

Re: Disk for Thwaites Aligator
Have to be honest that wheel doesn't look too bad to me . I would get them blasted repaint and save yourself a few quid .
