You guys get all the high tech accessories over there. Seems we are lucky to get a seat.

I have not had to do this job on my dumpy but first to make it easy remove the tin ware from around the engine and gearbox. This will give you a clear look at what has to be undone to remove the gearbox if required. Before going down that road you need to establish if the clutch is adjusted properly...

Your description is very clear and easy to follow so much so that even I understood it. As for the adjusting screw on top of the injector I think it is too late to say dont adjust it. I think I read somewhere that it has been altered so if that is the case it will need to be reset properly by use of...

Good advice Ian and checking your spill timing and setting it if required is very important. Your question about 'a nut' on top of the injector is interesting.

I have also rubbed some soft chalk over numbers as well with good results. Have a young person with you who just may have better ey...

G'Day and welcome David. Nice little dumper you have there. Have a look around the engine block near the injector and there should be an engine ID plate there. Write down all the information on that plate or take a clear pic of it and post up here. This will tell you the Model of the engine, HP, and...

Hope you are able to find an engine soon. Sometimes this is a good place to start your looking then the obvious auction sites and one day when shows and rallies are able to be hjeld again they can turn up their too

Thanks Jeremy, There are a few suppliers of these repair kits for many different applications but the main thing that is important is to accurately measure the OD of the shaft to be repaired. My D.B. 30C Cropmaster had some bad oil leaks from the axle seals that destroyed the brakes then the half sh...
