Hi all
I am looking for a 4.3 low ratio transmission hydraulic drive top box unit to power my smiths hydraulics, does anyone have one for sale.
regards
Kev

Robert thanks very much for the info I have a top drive but it is for a high ratio box, looking at your info, if I exchange the gears for correct ratio cogs the unit should be transferable
thanks once again
Kev

Thanks Robert, I will see if I can find a top drive unit

Hi Chris
I am in North of England near Newcastle upon Tyne, how much would it be to send over?

regards Kev

Hi Chris

got the hydraulic unit to work but it won't kick itself out and it seems a bit slow, also there is a delay when you select lift or lower before it works, don't know weather to strip it down or not what do you think, is it a difficult job.

cheers

Kev

Thanks mate
Excellent I can now make one using photo

Can anyone advise me what is needed to join the output shaft from the top of the gearbox to the Hydraulic unit under seat, I am left with two shafts, one from each unit looks like I need a piece of metal shaped like a cross to join them together, any ideas or help is appreciated.

Tim, your manifold is different, don't know how to upload photos, so I will try to explain. On the right hand side of the manifold in your photo you have an adjusting cam attached to the manifold with a nut, on mine the nut holds a circular spacer about quarter of an inch thick, on yours the arm dro...

Changed plugs today, running great now, warmed it up as much as I could changed over to TVO and not smoking at all now, running fine. now its running ok I will start the restoration.

Kev

Thanks Tim don't know how to adjust the manifold to setting there is no adjustment just what looks like a very rusty bolt,Mmmm I will give it turn and see what happens, can't afford to run this on Petrol fuel consumption is ridiculous, but then it's a 4 litre side valve, might look for a Perkins to ...

Hi since my post earlier I have taken the plugs from cylinders 1 and 2 and put them in 3 and 4 once fired up the unburnt fuel dried and cylinders 1 and 2 chocked up, so anyway I now realise that I have two duff plugs. so a set of plugs will be bought.

cheers

Kev

Hi Brian, thanks for the reply, as to what TVO mix I,m using answer is I don,t know just bought it yesterday and I used what was in tank, now I may be wrong but this Tractor has stood for a good few years prior to me buying and the TVO might be contaminated, can you tell me how to mix the TVO you us...

Hi just brought my e27n home today. started up on petrol seems to be missing, but not sure as I have never had one of these before. Warmed it up and changed it over to TVO, very spluttery unless choke lever is about half way on then clears it's throat a bit, although runs and drives it is smoky whil...
