From memory lieing under there on my back the rear mounts are the box mounts yes. No rear engine mounts..

What about the hydraulic filter? I haven't got a spanner big enough for the unions currently so have left it so far..

I'm removing a seized Leyland from my 1981 White Cab 3CX. So far I have front engine mount unbolted from chassis radiators out, pump shaft disconnected and all the little bits, cabling etc. disconnected. Once I have removed the hydraulic lines for the power steering pump is it just a matter of remov...

Brilliant. Thanks for the comprehensive reply!

We have a pond (1acre) dug out by first a JCB 6D and then when we realised that wasn't man enough and O&K RH9 we owned. The little IH was for moving the spoil. That was 30 years ago!

Hello, thanks for the comprehensive reply! Plate says it's a TD8b series II as you say. Do you know the operation of the blade lever? It seems to have been butchered and I believe has a left and right as well as forward and back for the blade. Perhaps to run the rear 4 pipes flow and return? It had ...

Was sat up digging g with the back actor and it started to labour, I picked the revs up a bit but it was struggling, idling OK, I knocked it off immediately and it stopped far too suddenly, like the instant the stop cable was pulled.

I replaced fuel filters, drained and cleared the tank (full of horrible jelly substance) and finally replaced the lift pump that seemed to cure it. It,s come back though. If you kee...

In preparation for putting my Leyland 3CX engine back together at the weekend i'm trying to get Oil and Filter sorted and struggling a bit to find the right info. The forum search won't let me search 3CX or OIL as they're too short words so i'm sure this info is here somewhere already ... apologies....

Cheers for the advice chaps. Head is skimmed and i went to talk to the machinist. It was definately in need of a skim. He's taken 30thou off to get it flat. He's putting the valves back in and i've ordered a bottle of KSeal to tip in, won't hurt and may fix any leaks, although with what TCtractors h...

I thought i saw some water coming out from under the head of the injector while it was running which made me suspect something but its difficult to tell. I haven't spoken to the machinist yet just the guy on the phone who said it 'failed' the pressure test, as they use air i'm guessing he probably w...
