Would anyone still happen to have a copy of the dowdeswell user manual/setup guides? Lost my saved copy and can’t find any of the useful guides that used to be on their website now it is defunt. Just put some new boards on and wanting to get it set up nicely but have forgotten where to get...

Got some gremlins in the heater/blower system, 2 main issues. 1st issue no heat. Had a look at the electric heater valve under the seat and seems to be nothing obvious happening when moving the dial between hot and cold, assumed I would hear or feel some kind of movement or noise as the valve...

As the title suggests-I am looking for some advice on running a drier with propane bottles instead of a bulk tank. Looked at a drier the other day having not had the need for one before. One has come up for sale but I don’t think I’ll have time to organise getting a fixed tank installed. Been...

Looking into getting a set of the above to fit my 1056. Has anyone got any experience of the aftermarket mirror kits from ebay/qtp and the like or am I better sticking with genuine parts?

Evening, a question to all my fellow scots. My local Dowdeswell dealer is in Perth. Where else in the country could I go? Re-metaling my dp100 just now and was disappointed yesterday to say the least at a) their lack of stock and b) the increase in price since my last visit for a few bits to...

Afternoon guys Getting the combine ready and I've found that the concave has decided to stick in position. The main shaft running through the center of the combine has seized and isnt lifting or lowering the concave any longer. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? Access looks awful to get...

Looking for some info on my massey 50ex with powershuttle gearbox. Works well in gears 1,3 and 4 but doesnt seem to engage 2nd properly. The gearstick seems to click in but when moving the shuttle in to gear it either grinds and pops the stick back to neutral or drives slightly before jumping...

My neighbours Rollant 355 suffered a fire as a result of a failed bearing a few years ago. Luckily it was on the left side of the machine and away from most of the electrics and hydraulics and most of the machine is in decent nick. We are planning to try and get it going however the main issue...

Does anyone have an ops manual lying about for the 1055 combine? Looking to buy one ideally but failing that a few pictures of the greasing routine and the various settings would be a great help. Thanks in advance

Looking for a 12ft table for a 1984 1055. Preferably Scotland

Got a 07plate 40.7 here with an annoying intermittent boom in/out fault. Works fine some of the time. Other times it will not retract or extend the boom and might not work for several days or might start working again within a few minutes or an hour. Anyone had similar experiences? Initial...

Does anyone know if the gear reduction starter motors are available for the deutz engines in the merlos? Was discussing them at the kitchen table last night and although I know they are available for tractors I haven't ever seen any advertised for forklifts.

Has anyone got/made themselves a small low loader for carrying their plough/powerharrow? Came across a frame the other day with an axle which had been used as a 2 tattiebox trailer so I've put a proper floor down and sat the plough on. The plough sits on ok and with a few straps it seems like it...

Evening guys. I'm seeking a bit of assistance with my winter project. It's a MF 50e industrial loader with rear 3pt linkage and pickup hitch. I've got the cab off to gain access to the top cover and back end as there is no life about the linkage. What is the best way to go about fault finding...

Wanted Pair of 16.9 by 28 rear tyres with useable tread for project loader tractor-anything over 40% tread considered. Closer to central Scotland the better.

Morning guys after some thoughts on my defender engine issue-thought there might be a few on here that might be able to help! It started using coolant about a month ago and the fault was traced to a knackered radiator. This was changed and then covered about 250 miles trouble free. It then...

Hi guys-got a stack of firewood ready for the sawbench but it's needing a new belt. Anyone got any suggestions as to where I'd find a replacement flat drive belt? Thanks in advance.

Anybody got any idea what weight would be in a Massey 50e loader? No backhoe or weight block attached. Thanks in advance

Evening guys-a pal has an issue with his 500 grain drill-the drive gears from the wheel up to the seed delivery cam have all chewed themselves to bits. Spoke to the local Massey dealers and they managed to fire up the old screen and get me part numbers off the microfiche. Unfortunately all the...

Evening guys-as it says above I will be in about the work tractor sorting its brakes this weekend. I'm hoping it will be a straightforward enough job but was wondering what the procedure was for bleeding the brakes up once I'm at that stage. The tractor is a 57 plate 50k box if that makes any...
