    Help choosing socket and ratchet set?

    Got asked to diagnose a knocking engine last week and ended up changing a water pump with a 1/4" set which was achievable...but looking a 1/2" set to carry round for the limited time I'm hands on, but like something neatly packaged etc. Previously used a Teng ratchet which was lovely in the...

    22 Merlo 33.7 change to flatface couplings

    After 500hrs this things leaking like the Titanic from the screw-on 3rd service couplers. If flat face are fitted how does Merlo 'float' the coupler's to fit under pressure? I know the old Manitou you switched the ignition on and toggled the switch but doesn't seem to do anything on the...

    Loadall 525-67 won't engage 4ws

    As title, will only engage crab and front-wheel steer (mechanically and lights dash) I assume there's a 4ws light on the dash? Pulled out the switch and all contacts good...guessing switch is only available from JCB to make a start with?

    Ifor Williams 505 Horsebox Floor

    Yes...the 'h' word...the better half has bought a horsebox and for peace of mind I was going to strip and refit the floor, but the ply seems good beneath albeit there is no aluminium checker plate on it, would 3mm be thick enough? From what I gather it's just to keep the moisture from the damp...

    For general farm work breaking blocks/concrete. Go cheap and cheerful and replace often or is it worth spending a few £100s more and why?

    3-4ft of foam on top of slurry

    Having problems with foam on top of a tank, had it last year too but not before that. The foam is purging through a hole in lids in the feed passage and when we need the capacity it's a torture having to move it! Any ideas what causes this? No washings enter the tank!
