Had a look at a long standing water leak today and it is weeping just below the cylinder head but more like from the timing gear where it bolts onto the block. Anyway had a word with a bloke what knows and he says that there is a stud into the casting that hasn't a lot of steel either side of it...

Pallet companies not keen to shift this as it contains 2 litres of oil and it might spill. It is 96kg on a pallet , anyone coming north and fancy some beer tokens?

In a fit of fiscal madness about 5 years ago I bought one of the above for £15 in a sale. Anyway , I have plugged it in a few times and although the 'on' light comes on there was only a random clicking from within the beast. Had a fiddle last night and the little wheel that pushes the wire to...

I see some P/C's have a thermal heating feature effectively doing the job of gas bottles for heating bearings, bolts etc. The only one's I've seen so far are the 'Oxford' make and they are £1500 ish. I'm not saying that that is too expensive but can the cheaper one's do the same thing? Anyone...

I've got some large steel bins on wheels that would be a good way of moving the generator about the farm and workshop. Is it a good idea to do this from an electrical safety point of view? The generator is in a metal frame obviously but I just thought could the metal bin become live realistically?

I've got a fair quantity of diesel 6 miles away from the farm on an unmanned site, away from houses etc. It is an easy target. I have mains power on site, but was thinking cameras are ok but what if the crim wears a big hat? Has anyone any bright ideas, I was thinking an alarm if the level drops...

Don't want to be hard on a new member but doesn't seem like a job I'd want if I had to go away from self employment! 4:30 am start is bound to be 4:15 at the latest to have a drink and powder ones nose, until 12:30, then back in at 3:15 til half six? No thanks, I'm oot.

We've got a beta 125 trials bike , I replaced the clutch side crankshaft oil seal recently as it was using a bit of oil from the clutch. Bike was on ATF in G/box and no clutch drag at all before being taken to bits even when cold. Clutch drags all the time now , still ATF, plenty of 'throw' in...

My F in L is looking for some tracking for hydraulic scrapers. Any about in the nettles?

So I've been away for 4 days and my farm sitter has pulled me ball out of the socket, he did it last year as well but it hasn't been a problem for me in the intervening year, Ah well, the price of a 4 day holiday I suppose. Does anyone know where to get a new ball and socket, can they be...

I've just bought a 3 phase compressor with a 5 pin plug, I 've got a 4 pin socket where I want to use the machine, can I put a 4 pin plug on and which wire do I not use, or do I replace the lead and the plug and lose a wire at the motor end? Presumably I can't lose one of the 3 lives or the...

Well maybe not as creative as @Walterp but it is the best I can do. I have had a long standing problem with my 3080, in short being a bad starter, new starter motor,new battery but never got to the back of it until I tried a suggestion on here where I put one jump lead from the negative of the...

I'm looking at a seed drill needing a number of fixed length black tubes which are 43 to 48 pound a piece and it needs at least ten. Has anyone just used the flexi pipe other makes use, does it work ok?

Careful driver needed obviously, 15 foot long approx 3 foot wide will need securing down . Loading time to be arranged with vendor but if anyone is coming south in next week or so shout up.

Prefer Q'fit tines rather than bolt on, would need trailer or end tow, not keen on Lely or Maschio.

So I'm at that stage where my old Samson rear discharge is getting old and I don't want to spen big money on another rear discharge so that I don't end up with another one with warn bed chains etc. Also my son is doing that kind of work now so I need simple , strong stuff that I can send him out...

I've had prices for Hi-Spec and Abbey locally but wondered if any manufacturer wants to deal direct? Good second hand one considered but no rusty , rotten jobs for half price of new please.

NW area, top quality mud. Discretion assured.

I bought a linkage mounted 320mc lely mower without seeing it (ready to go to work etc etc) and there is an extension to the top hat on the driven end missing. The drive on mine goes through the top hat to the bed, luckily I noticed on the first time round that it was wrapping the shaft with...
