Is there a service guide to this, as I need to do a strip down as well. Are the internal springs, and retaining clips, holding the shoes in place, also off the shelf Triumph Herald parts.

Can anyone tell me what the imperial size wing nut on the air filter is, as its missing. Its about 6mm.

I've got a load of 6mm wing nuts, but don't really want to rethread the bar that holds the filter cap on.

I take it all the threads, nuts etc on a machine of this age are going to be imperial ?

Just bought a small dumper, to move quite a few loads of soil and bricks around the garden. I think its a Thwaites Nimbus, but can anyone confirm this. Engine is a Petter PH1, which has an oil leak from one of the valve guide tubes, so I will be doing a top end strip down at some time. First issue I...

Your loosing coolant, and gaining oil. Sounds like you have a leak.

Head gasket, water oil cooler exchanger or leaky liners is my guess.

Thanks for the info...

Can anyone tell me what engine is fitted to the machine ? I'd be looking at changing the oil filters and engine oil. What oil is recommended in the engine ? Where is the best place to buy service parts, seals for rams, filters, etc... Sorry, I have a thousand questions, but you guys know much more t...

Yes, the pin through the kingpost, it is cracked pretty badly, and will need a repair. The home made looking box, goes on the hose shown above the hydraulic pump, that been unbolted. I did think it looked a non-standard part. Comes with 5 rear buckets, including a ditching bucket. Yes its a worn out...

Some more images. The machine comes with a few buckets, as a bonus. Owner wasnt in this weekend, and Im away working all week, so will be back to complete the deal, hopefully, this weekend. http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/tillywolves/IMAG0356_zpskowxdij7.jpg http://i893.photobucket.com/albu...

What sort of prices are you looking at for hoses. I know its going to cost more as the lenght increases, but whats the ball park price for a 1 mtr hose, for example ?

Does it need the fluid draining to replace them ? Excuse the simple questions, as Im a complete novice with hydraulics.

I take it the pump has to come off to replace the front shaft then ?? The rest of the machine is quite ropey, but being a sparky, I can sort out the electrics. I little tidy up, some welding, will make it a usable machine, that owes me nothing. Thanks for the advice. Im sure I will have a million ot...
