100%. Sure that's why I'm currently doing so badly on the polls.



Nearly all the election campaign funds had to be diverted for parts and labour when the engine of the big yoke packed in last month!

Anyone know where I can get a replacement hydraulic oil tank cap for a david brown 1590 ? Searched everywhere online but can find anything other than fuel and oil caps. This is only covering it.

If anyone is looking for a suction holder for a machine clock, a tile drilling rig is what the guy is selling on donedeal, can be bought for much cheaper online, just need to take out an e clip and flip the plate around.

That's a good find. I could do with some of them.

What you need is a "1" BSPP Pipe Thread Square Head Plug". A simple plug for a pipe fitting.

It's just a return, so no pressure on it. I took mine off my DB 995 and replaced it with a 1/2" fitting for a Hyd Hose. I use it as a return for the Logsplitter or postdriver. Handier to have than the simple plug. I'll take a pick of the other side of the fitting tomorrow.

Take off your tap and double check teh outer diameter of the tap thread. Should be 33.3mm (or slightly smaller Like mine) for 1" BSPP.

Thanks for that Patsy, much appreciated, I'll check this tomorrow.

Here is the stack on fittings I put on instead of the plug below.
From bottom - 1" BSPP to 1/2" reducer
Mid - 1/2" BSPP male to 1/2" Hose Male fitting (JIC)
Top - Cap for hose fitting

I use this as my return for the Log Splitter.

Thanks again Patsy was talking to my brother last night and he's gonna root around at the weekend for what you suggested. Wouldn't mind it was him who feckin lost it

patsy_mccabe

Here's the plug I took off. It's a 1" BSPP plug, but a square hollow. A 1/2" drive wrench will take it off.

The elbow fitting is actually 1" BSPT (tapered) but a parallel fitting will fit it fine.

I'm gonna have another check around the backend later on. I'm still convinced it fell or is wedged somewhere.

The plug is actually a plumbing fitting, so any hardware store might have them.

Like a power harrow keep it somewhere dry so you know if the bed leaks?

It’s normally in the field flat. If bed leaked you wouldn’t have a hope of seeing it. That shed is fairly dry. Would see oil gather underneath. As it’s upright there will only be oil in a small part of the bed anyway.

Just wondering if it’s ok upright. I can’t see any issue but thought someone else might have seen an issue before.

There's a vent screw on the gearbox of my mower that leaks sometimes if I leave it in the up position. I store it down flat but sometimes leave it in the up position on the tractor. It doesn't leak very often, maybe once a season, don't know why
As you say leave it somewhere dry

should be fine upright once its safe and secure.

My brother put a cap on the Fiat. He removed the sun roof, heater radiator and cut out all the rusty metal. He welded in new bits to carry the roof, re did the wiring for the lights, put in new switches overhead, fixed the wiper motor (I can't remember it working) cut out part of the floor that had a hole and replaced with aluminium chequered plate, plated and bolted the near side door/hinges and cut out and replaced other bits. I have to get clear carbon/perspex stuff for both doors and we still have to put the new second hand tyres on the front. It watertight now which is a luxury in itself

Looks the part, would you be better off to get the proper glass, polycarbonate or perspex will always discolour. Couldn't be too dear.

I doubt you would get the correct shaped ones anymore. OH knows a guy who has those poly carbonate sheets and my brother said he would cut and fit them.

Any of the guys doing glass for machinery will be able to cut and temper glass to size. Not sure of the cost but might be worth a call.
