I have newer moved and have only 11km to my workplace.

I do experience slow activity at times, often have to refresh and then item comes up . Maybe our third world system? Here it is slow all the time. This message is then comming up.

Congratulations.

I'll try to be carefull... :) What's the weakest part of the clutch? The springs? Can this be reinforced? How did Roadless solved this problem with their Ploughmaster? I believe it had a dual clutch as well. Only the 590e was adjusted to 75 hp. County's Super6 had a single clutch, so they had no pr...

I have had a similar thing happen. A Super Major ploughing with a TS82 plough when suddenly it stopped. We towed it from the field to the farm workshop and split it expecting to find the centre rivets sheared on the drive plate. Instead we found the clutch had exploded. The driver said he heard not...

And all that mess with a 4 cyl, what if it had been a 6cyl at 2500rpm.

Nice, I mean New Zealand is exactly on the other side of our planet from where I stand. So if the problem is here, then it is a long way from you.

Is there a server problem or something? These forums sites are very slow compared to others on the net. Has someone else notice the same thing?

It is not quality or efficiency that they are looking for.

I would drain the rear axle and take the oil in a tight drum. You can drain in the spring all condensed water from the rear axle and fill the rear axle with the oil again. I would not do that because the oil prevents the water from evaporating when it sinks down to the bottom beneath the oil. If th...

To mill the right clearance off the top of the piston is doing the same thing but does not make the engine better in any other way. To grind the connecting rods you get them as good as new at the same time. :wink: The timing gear clearence is affected just by half of the new hight because of the ang...

Just a thought that came to my mind, how about grinding the connectingrods aswell then the piston stays at the same hight at the top.

It is in the bottom of the groove as you can see on the marks on the O-ring in the first picture.

excellent, i shall have a go at that later on. as for the tar you used, looks like it was an aerosol of some type. what was its brand name? It i a wery local product, and with local i mean it´s manufactured 1km away from here. :lol: I don´t think they have world wide export. Of course it don´t have...

It is better to fix i now or you are going to do it later anyway. Here is some pictures of my groove fixing with chemical metal and protection with tar. I choose a better quality of O-rings than the ones that came with the gasket set. They was of type Viton http://www.dupontelastomers.com/viton/?id=...

I think he means the bearing bores. Standard are 3,167 and oversize are 3,182 that is 0,15 bigger.

Cool. If you boom up as you are dumping the load it will keep the bucket from hitting the ground. As you become more perficiant, you will find that this will be neccesary as the dirt pile gets higher. Also, try to not drop the bucket so hard. The old time opperators will frown on that. Run it smoot...

On my Roadless the left side has the problem. I am use to it now and I get it to work by driving the first 10m in low gear and with diff lock on, braking hard on the left at the same time. Then it works for the rest of the day.

Grani, Now that you have it digging, what did you finally come up with for the operator controls? Which lever and peddle does what? When i pull the right lever it hoist the boom and pushes the bucket back. To hold it up I have to press the right pedal. When I release the right pedal the bucket goes...

I made a seat today behind the normal seat, those pictures are a fev days old and I had no seat at first.

Some test digging pictures. :lol: http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w315/grani-album/Temmes002-1.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w315/grani-album/Temmes001-1.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w315/grani-album/Temmes004-1.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w315/grani-album/Temmes003-...

The centerlever is to open the hatch on the optional loader bucket. The swingbrake is automatic. I've never seen a back hoe with a trip door bucket. Unusual. Trip doors over here are used on shovel fronts which requires a crowd, which is double acting, a hoist to pick the load, and a mast winch to ...
