Cheers. That’s tonight’s job!

Many thanks. Probably a stupid question. But I’m assuming I’ll need to drain the oil from each hub and refill after bleeding?

No you haven’t missed anything. I’ve taken your advice on board. Think I was trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear! The machine is 6 tonne but heavy enough for the engine as it is. Cheers.

I haven’t done any work on the brakes and just assumed there is air in the system. Long peddle travel and no brakes until near the bottom. Reservoirs are full so no signs of a leak.

Hi. I need to bleed the brakes on my Teleporter and wondered if someone could give me a steer on where to access the bleed nipple before I start removing stuff that perhaps I don’t need too!

Thanks for all your replies and help. I’ve decided that trailer braking probably isn’t feasible (well not at a sensible cost!) so will simply use the pick up hitch I’ve fitted for moving stuff around the yard. A modern tractor and loader will be a more practical option for the future. Thanks again.

Currently fitting a pick up hitch. Planning to take a feed from the hoses for the front services via T port valves as unlikely I’ll ever use the front services. Would prefer to add an additional ‘slice’ to the spool valves but can’t seem to find a supplier for them. Think I’ll forget a...

@deere66 - the steering on mine feels light. I note that it does tend to understeer on the road when in 2 wheel steer mode.

Thanks for your replies. It’s a Perkins engine 725c 1995. I was hoping to pull a 4 tonne trailer a couple of miles on the road between two pieces of our land. Sounds like I might be wasting my time? New to the world of handlers and towing so learning as I go along.

I’m trying to source a trailer braking kit for my Teleporter. Some models were factory fitted with them but sadly not mine. Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase a kit?
