Topkit , thanks for that . I haven't done too much more than fill in pot holes with planings , but I have done roughly similar with type 1 etc . I think my pile of planings has been left too long to scoop up easily , I'll maybe use the back actor to loosen them up a bit . I must also be a bit tight ...

Sikaflex or something similar , it would never come back off though
You will get it in most boat places

The gearstick is the same on mine too and it was on my old 2wd 3cx that i had a few years ago, i use mine aounfpd our place in 1st and mainly 2nd gear, i spead a load of road plannings today as the rain has made the place like a bog. Exhaust flap is going on mine next week, i also teated mine to a ...

Yes the exhaust flap is defonetly on the list. And the way you describe the gear shift is exactly the same as my machine. What gear do you normally use most when working :insomnia: or what’s the best you think :thumbup: The exhaust flap helped mine from spewing water out when I start it after it's ...

Bloody hell , sounds a good project .
If the silt is soft then it might bury the suction head into the silt and block it .
What would control the depth of dredge and rate of propulsion ?

Sorry , I was bored and googled the TZ markings , I think it's something to do with side protection and might be the model of Barum tyre .

Welcome to the forum . I have the same size rear tyres , but I am unsure about the fronts and I'm nowhere near my machine for a few weeks . The manual is listing for the front 10.5 x 18 in traction or Firestone or Goodyear 10.5/80 x 18 on a 10 ply tyre . The industrial tyre is 12 x 18 in a 12 ply .H...

Well done on getting the job done . Where was the oil coming out when the cylinder leaked , does it just go into the slew rack and then out the fill hole ? I have a lot of play in my slew and I was thinking of taking the bottom plate off and having a look at the rack etc . Is it possible to see anyt...
