I dont even know if Jim is still there ,,last I heard he was moving back up to Scotland for family reasons .He rarely had anything other than Cat machines ,the od volvo ,,never seen any massey stuff in his yard@Lincs Lass
United parts got any?
Morning Henarar.Kellands still had some parts a few years ago
try and find a spare grease nipple for the track expander, I could find nothing else to fit but genuine
I bought a whole machine for parts and then got it going
I do have a parts book if that's ever any help
Are you going to use it or just play @jakeboy ?
Kellands did have them, but that was a few years ago, I was just thinking I must have had my first one 18 years now and the second one about 10I well remember the grease connector on track tensioner? Christ know where I'll get one of those?
Ken Barber said to me when I bought it and at time had never driven a slew before "its slow but you won't break it"apart from tracks throwing off dipper arm bushes and the drips of oil!! They were a reliable old bus.
To be honest I can't ever remember having my door shut years ago as you would wrap your knuckles on the glass!! When slewing such was the linkage play on the the levers!Kellands did have them, but that was a few years ago, I was just thinking I must have had my first one 18 years now and the second one about 10

View attachment 441680 No problems with the door on this one the other one has a cab though
I was going to say good luck with getting rid of the play in the leversTo be honest I can't ever remember having my door shut years ago as you would wrap your knuckles on the glass!! When slewing such was the linkage play on the the levers!
Also the top window would always drip when raining despite New rubbers and silicone, the first model I had1972 had a slewing brake! And a pull starter switch.
The later model a 1976 didn't have the slew brake , and had an ordinary Lucas key?start
The slew brake was a godsend for peeling off sides of trenches when the buckets weren't quite wide enough!!
