Thanks to everyone suggesting the tucker fingers - these were stuck at the end of their travel. Lots of WD40 and wiggling and they now move freely. Spring and S hook both appear to be attached and in good condition. Not had a chance to put any hay through it yet (hopefully this evening or...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a look at the tucker fingers now I know what I'm looking for. I'm not convinced they were moving very much when I was trying earlier so definitely sounds like the issue. I'll post back either tomorrow or Tuesday evening (depending upon when I get to look at...

I recently purchased a Deere 459 conventional baler that I'm trying to get ready to use for making hay this season (nothing like leaving things to the last minute). When testing the baler after giving it a good clean and grease by rebaling a couple of bales of hay the knotters are tying knots...

Lowered the hitch, pulled the pins out and pulled the bar out and the clevis is on the other end as described. Thanks.

Thanks, I didn't realise it is reversible, I should have looked at the hitch in the manual. Explains why the parts book diagram has numbers for the hook bar but not the clevis bar. I'll have a look this afternoon to confirm.

Hello, I've got a 1995 (N reg) Massey Ferguson 6170 which currently has a pickup hitch with a hook on it. I'd like to change this over to a drawbar for pulling a trailed mower and a baler. Does anyone know what the correct part number is or else where there is one for sale? I had a look in the...

I've got a McConnel PA9058 and had to replace the hydraulic spool valve block which controls the movement of the arm and head as the old block had worn to the point it would pass oil in both directions simultaneously on the head tilt circuit. Following installing the new block (supplied by...

I've got a double sided boominator nozzle on an ATV sprayer and get a good 6.5-7m width out of it. Not quite as good as a proper boom but not bad, definitely good enough for roundup. You should definitely get 2.5m out of a single sided nozzle but they need a good pump to keep up with them. The...

Have a look here for just the head: https://www.towingandtrailers.com/products/trailer-parts/trailer-couplings/spare-parts-for-trailer-couplings/braked-coupling-heads/

How did that happen? The Mansfield bar is meant to be strong enough and low enough to prevent that? The car should have crumpled up before the bar gave way but it doesn't even look like there is one present?

I don't believe that is correct. People with pre 97 licences can tow greater than 3.5 ton on a B+E provided you use close coupled hydraulic brakes. Vehicles such as a discovery I and possibly II are rated to 3.9 ton towing weight in this scenario I believe. Definitely more than 3.5. I think the...

At least 5kva, 6 would be better. It'll still probably struggle on start up, particularly if the unloader is at all sticky on the compressor. A VFD on the compressor might help but shouldn't be necesarry. A 6kva generator is still 70kg so not exactly easy to lift it into the pickup. Definitely...

While I've not had your exact symptoms I can say that the 6100 series is very sensitive to oil and filters. I'd start by changing both filters (genuine Massey filters are competitive and still available), cleaning the suction screen (behind a large hex head plug on the bottom right??? of the...

Is it worthwhile claiming? The increase in premiums for the next 5 years of having to declare it vs the cost of a new trailer would seem to suggest that it is not worthwhile to me but maybe your situation is different?

Surely that should be 2040kgs not 2120? And according to the following link a Disco 2 weighs 2150kgs so it wouldn't qualify as dual purpose under either definition. https://www.parkers.co.uk/land-rover/discovery/station-wagon-1998/25-td5-s-5d-%285-seat%29/specs/

PF Jones don't list just the detachable necks on their website but I rang them up and they did me a new neck for about half the price of the whole tow bar. Might be worth giving them a call. http://pfjones.co.uk/

I completely agree with this. I spent a long time looking for a LWB Nissan Patrol a couple of years ago, lots had rust on the MOT history so were ignored, went to look at a "mint" low mileage one and the underside was still rusty. Rust will kill this car long before the mechanical components...

I find an auto great off road as well, with great low speed control, certainly no issues with too many revs. It sounds like either the gearbox programming isn't great or 1st is too high so you were up against the torque converter to try and get it moving. Either low range or trying to manually...

The Multec ones jump around since they come from the factory with the top link hole drilled out to the same size as the lower link holes (or at least ours did). Either drill it out to the next size up and use a bush or weld a plate over the outside with the correct size hole drilled in it and...

I know it's cold but it's not that cold in the scheme of things (compared to other countries). The equipment will be designed to start in these conditions so it is likely suggesting some deeper issue. Check and clean all electrical connections (particularly including grounds) it is amazing how...
