lol, yep! lots of trial and error lol
The lucas ignition block has a bit of an iffy return spring to bring the key back from 'start' position... I haven't heard the tell tail grumble of the starter running whilst ive been using the digger. But to be safe i've ordered a new ignition panel (ign toggle & push button) I don't see changing from a key to a toggle switch being any more of a 'security' problem... those Lucas ignitions can be turned with a piece of stick anyway lol
I've also ordered a battery isolater switch to be sure that there are no electrics left on (i can tuck that out of the way somewhere which will be a damn site more secure than the original ignition lol)!
Next on the agenda is trying to find a 4 in 1 front shovel!
I had a rummage at the loader valves (i was already confident as there are spare sercs to the front) and it has the 3 spool loader controls!
Thanks for all the help and advice again guys
Rest assured i'll probably be back again soon asking when something else drops off lmao!
Anyone in NE Scotland close by that wants a good place to send their starter/Alternator etc
This is the guy that i took the starter to. Nice chap, helpful and a very good price too!
