Couple new idler bearings and still threw a track yesterday This thing is just getting to the stage where everything is going wrong, in the last month I’ve welded the blade, replaced a hydraulic hose ( that was a tw*t ) repaired the auto hitch and now the top track idler, the other side needs doing as well, I rapped in all this mechanic sh*t after 25 years because I was sick of being covered in oil and grease Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry Are you in a detecting club Arry or just go it alone, my sheep farmer mate Mosh is out all the time, he’s joined a group to get to go on a lot of different land, he’s found all sorts, he still loves a bit of hawking though. I sometimes take him up to my shoot when I’m feeding birds, he’s found a few old coins and military buttons 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
