I think it was @Beef farmer that posted the link last year sometime


£16 odd plus vat, if I remember at the time it was free shipping over £100 so bought a load.
Only thing they come in and out of stock quite often, and I think they only have 1 in stock ATM as it won't allow more than one to be put in basket. But keep checking the website.
Their not Gallagher quality but for £16 you won't go wrong.
Their also on Amazon if your into that kind of thing

The hydraulic oil tank on my Bateman RB25 failed where the return pipe enters, as it can be seen in the photo.

Would clamping the hole with two pieces of metal bolted together, one on the inside and the other on the outside hold?

Yeah that would be a good temporary fix, but you should weld the broken bit back in and plate it in future.
There must be some serious vibration there to rip that out! you need to have more flex in the hose or something.

I was thinking about replacing the hose with a longer one and make a loop, hopefully that would reduce the vibration.
 
I bought some new diaphragms for the accumulators on the case magnum we have, one came apart easily, the other kept slipping out the vise as I was trying to get it to unscrew.

Had to make this weird looking spanner to keep it from slipping. It worked great, had a socket, breaker bar and 10ft scaffold pipe on the other end and it finally came loose.

A quick build as we didn't have enough wire reels to take all the Electric fence on the farm. This one is slapped together out of my spare parts bin, scrap steel and an oil drum for the ends - does the job, but its a bit rough.

Should get us enough extra storage capacity, otherwise will be making another one soon....
