Exactly what I was going to say but then saw Aravo’s post. Make sure there’s no box iron used anywhere in the frame. Loader brackets straight onto a heavy plate is the only way to go. Otherwise you’re just depending on the strength of the box and that would be poor at best.

It’s something I want to get myself as well. I have a loan of a set from a friend that I got a few weeks ago for one small job and I don’t know how I’ll survive without them now when they go back! They’re used a few times a week every week.

Look for old forklift forks. I got a complete unit off a forklift mast and just welded the euro hooks straight to it

We did the same but converted them to suit the 50b.

The only thing that I would suggest is to make sure that they are not worn at heel of the fork. Some lazy fellas drive around with the forks slightly tilted but the heel is hitting the ground and over time it gets worn away and weakened.

I saw an ad for led lights for work vehicles with the main square of the lens white light as normal, but the edges of the lens were tapered and there was an orange strobe in the edge which seemed to work desperately.
The ad was on Facebook but hasn't come up since.
Anyone know where I could get something like it?
I tried 24/7 lighting . net but they didn't have them.

My 5's water pump shat itself when feeding last night. We were using it the day before pulling out timber so not sure if a branch hit the fan or if ice split something. At least a new one is only about 40 yoyo. Finding an empty shed with a concrete floor this time of year will be the hardest part.

That water pump was one of the first things I bought on ebay, 15 or 16 years ago, shipped from the states.

Took me a while to figure out why you want desperate bad lights. ðŸ˜†

I'm sure I've seed that ad on Facebook too. More than once, I think...
This place has something similar in his listings.... https://www.donedeal.ie/dealer/tradewestie?start=30

Arse of the oil cooler bust in the digger today, priced up a new one and its 4k. Nearly had a weakness, going to have to be some bit of cobbling done on it. 45 gallons of oil out on the ground to make it worse

That’s a scandalous price. Would have though an oil cooler was a straight forward bit of kit, or at least as straight forward as hydraulics can be...

Would water have collected in the bottom? A few old tractors that were outside 10 years ago let water in at the gear levers then split the gearbox in the hard frost. Look abroad for one, the Paddy factor sounds steep on that, part number or use google images to find it.

Oh scutter.

Is there absolutely no option to repair?

Kenwal in Longford or the likes may be of use?

wrangler · 11-01-2021 7:38pm

Hilux finally passed the test today, in fairness the mechanic went to a lot of trouble plating sealing and painting, hopefully I won't be chasing rust now for the next few years like the nissans.

The rad for the heaters are leaking in the fiat, priced one at 300 euros. Anyone know where I can find a cheaper one

I would have thought they should all be fairly standard once you get the right size and correct thread on the inlet and outlet to suit your hoses. Might be worth trying websites selling motorsport parts

I've been trying to locate a front axle for a neighbour for years. I think having an Italian girl friend might be the only way to find parts for them.....

Simpler to put up with a leaky roof than an Italian girlfriend methinks.:(

Did a bit of a cobble job on it there now, hopefully it will hold out for a while.

Would the rad of a 880 be the same, if so my brother took the one out of ours when he was doing the roof. I will ask him to have a look at it to see if it's any good.

I was looking at landcruiser prices, nuts. They reckon their will be a shortage of cars and jeeps coming in from the uk in the near future.

Thinging of buying a pallet fork for front tractor loader. Anything to watch out for other than fork length?

I got my welding friend to make me up a carrier frame with euro brackets and I bought a set of secondhand forks for €75/80 . had them made ready for about €200. lifted 1.4t but that's my loader maxed out I thing. forks certified to 2.5t

Bought a set of sleeves that extend out to about 10ft that slide on top of the forks. been handy a few times

Thanks. I'm not sure on the engine.
It's a 10 maxxum 115, 6 cylinder if that's any use.
A whiney yoke.

It's nice cos I've no hills.

And not much road work.

Ah no she's well shod and has brackets for a dribble bar which will be the next addition.

I'm coming from a 1300 tank so it'll speed up the job.

That transmission is known to whine alright, but the upside is that I know one locally still whining at 28000 hours.
