Today I gave the old girl a treat and a pressure wash as it’s been so hot it’s dried off nice and quickly. I also intend to go around it replacing bits and pieces. Apart from one burst hose on the dipper ram which I replaced, the dipper ram has a pin hole on a weld so needs repairing. I have however today noticed one of the front loader hoses has split

The front loader has some cracks around the hinge on one side so that needs welding properly. The other sides been done and holds fine.
I’ve also sorted the wiring a bit. I now have an ignition switch again, as before it had a push button on the dash with a quality assortment of bodges! I need a stop cable as it currently has what appears to be a coat hanger stopping it

I have managed to source a dashboard now which is complete so I can atlast try and make sense of the Reston of the wiring. I can also maybe find out how much fuel it has in at all times! I will need to sort out a set of glass though as otherwise the dashboard will be ruined come winter! I have given a little bit of paint to the cab and general digger whenever I find a spare 5 mins. Anything to help preserve it a bit longer! I would love to remove the cab next summer and weld it up

I do have a question though, does anyone know how long the oil pressure gauge pipe should be? Mine was cut when the half of the dash inc the speedo was ‘removed’. So I would like to order a pipe and have it ready for the dash when it arrives
