    Stop solenoid question

    I’m after an actuator for the stop control on a fuel pump, needs to be 24v and have about 30mm of travel, not fussed if it pushes or pulls as I have plenty of space to mount it. Any recommendations on where to look?that sort of thing, but why 3 wires ?

    Superb starter, runs and drives perfect despite the hours, that’s why I’m keen to sort this out and avoid a bigger problem later

    50 series deere

    Just want to eliminate the hydraulics as the coupling isn’t very old and it had a new clutch and flywheel 2 years ago. It was on the hedge cutter for a couple of days and when removed it had a really bad vibration in the cab. All hydraulics work fine but I can just feel a light pulsing when...

    Can I disconnect the drive to the front hydraulic pump and run the engine briefly or will bad things happen. I have acquired a strange vibration/drumming noise at low revs and I wanted to rule out the hydraulic circuit. Cheers

    Shackles on a suckler cow

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. I’m not going to give up on her as it will be hassle having to bucket feed the calf. The calf is doing great as she has plenty of milk. I’ll try a few of the things mentioned and see how I go on, cheers

When locked in the barrier she kicks a bit more aggressively and...

    Shackles on a suckler cow

    Got a first calver that will not take to her calf. Three weeks old now and it’s getting a bit of a bind getting her in the crush twice a day. At first she kicked out with aggression now it’s more leg lifting to knock the calf off with the odd swift kick. Calf is strong and doing great but won’t...
