Great hint, thanks, with that I went to the parts book and voila!



First time I have ever heard of such a thing!

Looking closely at the oval disc for a part number, there are faint letters stamped into reading as follows:

WARNING
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO PUMP
PUT CONTROL LEVER
FULLY DOWN AND FIT
W(?)EDGE UNDER STOPPER

The W is not legible so it could read "EDGE"

I recently bought a box of bits through FB Marketplace, primarily because they included some Butler mudguard lights and I needed one. Yesterday I emptied the box and there were a few surprises. An ENFO bulb that still works https://i.postimg.cc/PLhg727x/ENFO-bulb.jpg The trailer external socket with...

I'm in NZ and used a business advertising vintage car instrument restorations. I just did an internet search.

I sent mine away to be restored and was well pleased, it used to jump around and now it is all smooth plus I had them alter a new cable I bought as the ends on the new one didn't match

I'd think any hydraulic maintenance business would have those caps off and new seals in in 1/2 an hour! If you do it yourself so long as you can get the old ones out, take them in and see what's in stock! My father in law made a tool for unscrewing ram cylinder caps, if you are still pondering I can...

For what it's worth, this is from the repair manual.
Hope it helps!

Sounds sensible advice, the outlet for the tanker is as you would expect, at the bottom so the water would feed through first.

Has anyone experience with what tolerance older tractors have for diesel that has absorbed water? In my work here we had a 1000 liter road tanker that sat for several months, when we used some it caused a Hilux vehicle to need workshop time to bleed clean fuel through. Some forums claim older tracto...

Bit quiet here lately, might be something with that Northern hemisphere Winter!
Dexta has been busy carting next Winter's firewood, thought you might like a picture.

No problem at all! I am no great expert on electrics but what I got was a Lucas 18ACR that had been in an Austin Mini. I believe it was very common on British cars of that era. There are new replacements available for that model online - you could potentially get a used one or something with similar...

Here you go, hope it makes sense! https://i.postimg.cc/kBJ3Ltcy/alt13.jpg First image - you can see I had to pack both sides out to line up with the fan-belt pulley. Some adjustment to design would make this unneccesary https://i.postimg.cc/yWXCfTFd/alt14.jpg Second image - detail of bolts and packi...

I did the conversion some years ago, bought an ex-Mini car alternator and my retired engineer father in law made the bracket to my specs, pretty much I just held it where it needed to fit for the fan belt and measured to suit! I could remove it and have a measure up on the weekend if you like - I ju...

Very interesting! We have a variety of 3m to 2.4m row spacings - the newer blocks being the narrower and all grown on trellis. Pruning season now so we have hundreds of Ni-Vanuatu workers around the district, we have one crew of 10 presently but that will double in a fortnight and looking to be comp...

No Interceps that I know of here, we use the green tractor variety on the whole - largely a result of needing high hydraulic oil flow rates from 3 outlets to drive machinery - Quantum mist 3 row sprayers, Hydralada trimmers and Collard leaf pluckers to name a few. The Dexta gets to do the jobs aroun...

Very interesting, what grape variety is that and where are you ?
I'm working in the industry here in NZ but on an industrial scale without the care and craft level you are likely to have.
Do you make your own wine?

Here's another I haven't shared before. It could equally belong in the Major section. https://i.postimg.cc/FR1yV7N2/service-programme-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/FRqjWNK1/service-programme-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/k5JFDTZM/service-programme-3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/XY0g6jkC/service-programme-4.jp...

OK, here's one I haven't shared before. I'll share the others in new posts as time permits! https://i.postimg.cc/9QjzLvX1/repair-charges-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vmh1g3sh/repair-charges-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/50tXwL9V/repair-charges-3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/5yYjrJFK/repair-charges-4.jpg http...

Hi folks and happy Easter!
Bit of fun for a long weekend, here are some booklets I have picked up over the years, a couple I have shared before, let me know if you want a peek inside!

Wow, those are not Winter temps at all!
We are having a "La Nina" Summer meaning more rain than normal but this area still dries off to a light tan complexion as this shows.

Cutting and shifting some firewood today in high 20's celcius, just to make you folks in the Northern hemisphere jealous!

Thanks Emiel from a country that gets Xmas early!
Hope your presents are blue!

Sandy, can I scan in good quality and send to you somehow?
Derek.

Picked this up recently online. If you want a clean scan copy for the man-cave let me know and I'll see what I can do.
