Pete they are not quite the right fit unfortunately but they came off EBay; I may order some mre but a slightly smaller diameter for hopefully a better fit?

Some half decent weather at last! I got up to my machines earlier this week, I did have one other previous visit where I did a small amount of cosmetic work on the Poclain. As many of you will no doubt be aware keeping machines outside they get covered in muck without doing any work, the 580BT looks rather weather beaten these days and was covered in a layer of muck that needed washing off.

I quickly got to work washing the machine down and the weather was perfect for this to be done, although we have had a few days of dry weather I didn't want to track either machine through mud to wash it off only to find it covered back in mud after I had tracked it back.

I do have a few days holiday due to me now so I need to get moving with some serious work, the Poclain also got another clean down.
