Is it this type? They must be adjusted so that the stopper fully retracts or they will burn out .

Wide is the way to go, narrow ballasts do next to nothing when your about to cock a leg . The narrow ones in the center of the 3pl are dead in line with the tilt pin on the front axle . As you can imagine, they will offer no resistance to a roll over . If you can make one as wide as the rear...

Re: Flail mower basics and knife rotation Straight rotor in red mower, helical rotor in orange mower .

Thank you. Sometimes, when the tractor is going through a depression and the back wheels are going into the depression, the mower rear wheel or roller induces a twisting force because of it's leverage advantage . The 3pl gets bound up and the result, if you dont have chains on the headstock...

I decided to stop putting off the making of the cover for the aircon evaporator unit I mounted to the ceiling . I made an Aluminium base and covered it with 1/2" foam and Grey vinyl . I mounted the original interior light and the fan/temp control panel in it so it looks pretty stock . UHF radio...

Fitted the transmission this afternoon , just need to drill the bell housing bolt holes and bolt it up . Thats another job done , that makes today the 20th day I have worked on it . I would have it going by now if I didn't have so many other things to do , as well as running a business . I...

I have tack welded the Plasma cut front plate to the machine . This 20mm thick plates takes all the loads the mulcher , chipper and backhoe arm transmit to the machine . I am bidding on a 500amp 3 phase mig welder on ebay at the moment as my current welder isn't big enough to weld 20mm steel ...

Today I bought a new backhoe off New Holland for a 55hp Boomer . I couldn't get a small excavator at the right price so this will suffice . I will remove the stabilizer legs and use that function and the control valve sticks to drive the tracks . Servo/Pilot system hydraulics would have been...

These engines are notorious for having low oil pressure due to the aluminium oil gallery plug coming out of the camshaft . People put a piece of steel in the hole and weld it in and they regain their oil pressure . Judging by the grind marks on your plug and the ones on the cam not lining up ...

The 32,200 BTU evaporator installed on the roof . Just need to make a cover for the blower motors . Should be able to bust a Stubbie on a hot day .

The valves should be NOWHERE near the pistons . Either the head gasket is too thin , the valve timing is wrong or the rockers are set too tight . These things DON'T have a water pump , WTH ?

It just got a little more "creative" , I am on the hunt for a 2 ton excavator arm for the front of it . It will have a small tree shear on the end so I can snip trees off and feed them straight into a front mounted woodchipper on the machine . I will go through the paddock first with the chipper...

Thank you , the track width is 1800mm , the tracks are just under 3000mm . I think it will weigh around 7 tonne with the head . All but about 1.5 tonne will be below 1200mm in height to it should be pretty stable . Radiator is going in today , it is new , old stock out of a Cat loader and is...
