Re: Hydraulic remote help

It's quite easy. Take out theplug you have marked "1" and screw in a 1/2" pipe connection of some sort. when you use it, pull out the knob you have marked 2 activate the external service and use it by operating the main handle.

Re: More on Stabiliser bars

Yes it is about 3/4 of the lenght. I haven't slot for slight movement just because I don't need it. I made the holes with 2mm different distance on the outer and inner bar. almost like the grading on a calyper. You can see a picture of it here [url]http://ogtf.net/?fordson-dexta-4wd,27[/url]

Re: PTO Drive Shaft slips under heavy load

I guess this shaft is ment for implement with need for less torque. what you need is a shaft with security pin that snap in case of overload.

Re: Brake Drum Won't Come OFF

first of all-- The holes in the backing plate is ment to be too big for the shaft. That is because the brake shoes is "floating" at that end. This will give you "leading shoes" in both directions. Only the springs holds the shoes sentered whilst brakes not applied. I suggest you make another effort ...

Re: Left trumpet housing

I guess it is ment to support the crown wheel when heavy load. I can't find it mentioned in the workshop handbook, but I suggest you take out the crown wheel and place it in the trumpet and measure the distance between it and the block. However-- I wouldn't bother.
