I'm the same, how does the machine cope?

I have to put thicker oil in the hydraulic tank to make sure it doesn't leak too much out of a couple of the seals, this makes it a bit slower.

Usually, due to the fresh air level in the cab, I only use this machine on nice warm days, this time I had to get on though, it was all fine after a quarter of an hour or so.

I suspect that the filters are poor, it has two big cardboard type things for the hydraulics, I would change them if I knew where to get a pair. I have owned this since 1987 and used it a lot and haven't changed them yet - is that over the service interval?

Whats a service interval? Most old machines I know work on the constant loss principle......it changes its own oil over time.

I think mine was designed by an oil Baron to guarantee consumption.

No idea it's a TS14 if anyone knows,
In those days if he was told to bring something in that's what he did!

Couple more pics

What does that machine in the second picture do then? Never seen one before

 

[colinh279]

It is a Euclid ts14 motor scraper, it is used for grading an leveling ,the centre section opens and creates a scoop for the material, this one has an engine front and back

[colinh279]

Rix was the name of the chap who designed it, sorry I don't know much more about it slightly before my time, I googled it but didn't find anything, I'm sure there were more pics of it, if I find them I will post them

I've been offered £3k twice today. Think the no vat will help
