    Happy days, Barry at CJ's tracked it down (a "joint", per Kioti) courtesy of my emailed image, and voila, yours today Sir, for the princely sum of £7.13 +VAT, so I ordered an heir an a spare! He also "pinged" me the part number for future reference. marcus, the happy hat

    Kioti EX50 parts needed

    Barleycorn, I was NOT impressed, especially after first getting a halfwit called Jenny, who kept asking "did it control the brakes" and other such quite unrelated nonsense, after I had used key words like "loader" hydraulics" "valve block" "cable assembly". She must have been on a Friday...

    Kioti EX50 parts needed

    Mur, Having spent the last 3 solid days tidying my shed(by pure overdue, like about 10 years overdue, happenstance), I have been through my "lucky dip" boxes, but since this is my first ever loader, it would be unlikely that I had such bits squirreled away. thanks again, marcus Looking on the...

    Kioti EX50 parts needed

    Thank you for such a rapid response Mur. So. The threaded rod is 5mm dia and standard metric tread(because I tried the clevis with a cutting of threaded rod) the stubby cross pin is 8 to 8.5mm in dia. see images. 2nd image not the best, I might get better after dark when the flash will work.

    Kioti EX50 parts needed

    Being the pot-metal "gubbings"(is it a clevis?) that connects the bowden cable to the valve block(i.e. down at the valve block) for the loader. Cyril Johnstons are telling me I will need to order the entire cable assembly. But the failed component is a screw on easily replaceable part so I was...

    Screw in grease cartridge suppliers

    It must have been another grease gun thread, but someone was asking about a source for Pin and Bush grease in the 500ml screw in Fuchs type cartridges, I could not find them either until I stumbled across the Maxol brand in a local Ag supply place this morning. mth

    Screw in grease cartridge suppliers

    Well seeing as me, being a scrawny 60 year old Ex desk jockey, i.e. not a brawny farmer nor fitter, just bust a Fuchs copycat grease gun today (& bought from a reputable local supplier), it will be the genuine Fuchs next time. cheers mth EDIT; After fruitless searching I am perplexed that...

    Any downside to buying a 125mm angle grinder rather than a 115mm one

    Well with a Mexco 6mm thick by 125mm dia diamond raking disc, I cut a 4.0m long track(for lead flashing) with a fully charged 4.0 AmpHr battery, about 25mm deep, quite impressive performance for such a handy cordless tool I thought. Admittedly only through marble dash and scratch coat and just...

    Any downside to buying a 125mm angle grinder rather than a 115mm one

    My farmers son intuition/uncommon sense was absolutely correct, & see HSE linked document; Peripheral and rotational speed 28 The maximum operating speed is marked on every wheel in two ways: (a) the peripheral surface speed which is given in m/s; (b) the rotational speed which is given in...
