The centerlever is to open the hatch on the optional loader bucket. The swingbrake is automatic.

What a great combination, Grani! What do you think the digger weights? What are you planning to use it for? Thanks.:lol: Approx 900 to 1000kg but the weight is far out to the back. When I buy something like this I have no idea what to use it for. I just enjoy having it untill I find something to pu...

I tried how it would fit on the back of the Roadless. Not bad for the eyes. 8) The hydraulic lift was doing it´s best to get it up from the ground. I have to make a pto shaft to get it working. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w315/grani-album/Temmes003.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w315/...

No hydraulics :scratchhead: How does it work? That´s what I have to find out. :wink: It has two winch drums that rotates in opposite directions. One lever starts one of them and the other lever starts the other one. Then there are two pedals to brake them. When both brakes are on, the bucket stays ...

Old digger

I bought a new......................(old, 1955) toy to put behind my Roadless. I have to fix some kind of quick attachment for it so I can take it off easy.

Be careful if you buy a new one. I took apart my old Trader 590E oil pump, and also to compare, a brand new Super Major pump. (The pumps are similar except for the lenght of the gears. The Trader has longer gears to provide oil flow to the two "extra" cylinders. The Trader pumpgears are 47mm and 32m...

Hi Pascal It sounds absolutely normal. The unstabile idling is typical for the pneumatic governor. You can adjust the max revs with one of the screws on the inlet manifold. Hovewer it is better to do it later when the engine has been used for some time. Do not adjust to more than 2500 rpm when you d...

The pump driveflange has a mark that aligns to the tinplate when the mark at the flywheel is in place. Do NOT use startpilot it will destroy your engine. After bleeding the fuelsystem you should use the cold start button and have full throttle when starting. Dont forget to have the stoplever in run ...

Good working, except for one thing. Do you have try to jack up the front wheels and check if they swing freely up and down the whole way with the new "A-frame" design? :scratchhead:

I think the snap ring that secures the bearing, has come out of it´s groove. Drain the oil and loosen the four bolts at the shaft and pull out the shaft to inspect it. I took some pictures when i changed the seal a fev days ago. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w315 ... n002-9.jpg

It is only the dust of it that is a problem. I painted the firewall to cover the asbestos and I have changed carefylly the brakediscs and cleaned the dust with water instead of compressed air. New brake material is not asbestos.

Every time i look at a Major fuelpump i wonder if the designer of it was holding the drawing upside down. All the dirt ends up in the pump mechanism instead of in the easy cleaned bowl. :roll:
The Trader pump designer held it right.
