Yeah , that sounds good .
That does look like a good job .
Well done on the drone footage .
How did you edit the video ?. Is there a program or something that you use ?.

Just as an aside , what sort of money is the dumper .

Nice one mate , had a good watch of that .
I'll need to get one of these blasters , that's brilliant .

Are you not worried that the shot or sand will get into the seals and bearings , or do you try and avoid those areas ?

Brilliant mate , just brilliant .
I see a lot of pins and bushes on ebay , but I am never sure they are the correct ones for my machine .
That's really great stuff and thanks for posting .

I have used a few people with differing results http://www.diggerparts.net/ are one of the cheaper ones , although I always get frustrated that the guy can't understand my Scottish accent .

I think the manual states that it should be checked cold with the engine stopped :) Yeah , I was used to checking cars and other vehicles with the engine run...

Ha I wish I did, if I had enough time the fuel gauge and rev counters would work too! Also I don't watch TV anymore :) I don't have a fuel guage or rpm counter in my Grey cab , the only thing that works is the temp guage and some of the warning lights . I just use a good torch down the filler neck ...

Not really a weird question ....it's a good bit of kit for sure ! . I'd just try Vicary Plant for a second hand one . I think I can see the remains of the linkage in your picture - do you have the second handbrake in the cab ?. My linkage has broken long ago and after upgrading from the welding rod ...
