4455 going together slowly and fighting every step of the way cab going on on Thursday then the big test new powershift fitted our biggest job to date...
 
When u say new powershift do u mean u went thru it replacing anything that was worn or is it completely new outa the box?
Customer wanted a complete new unit he had it shipped in from the states cost was around £5000 last unit was repaired by JD and only lasted 700 hrs before chewing itself up planetary gears weren't timed and input shaft end float was miles out so it has all been replaced bearings power shift gearbox shims etc etc we also had a sticking valve in the valve block which has all been done. Hopefully now he's going to get a lot of years out of her now before it needs looking at again..it was a massive job
