I enjoyed watching that. I am amazed at how far tractors have developed from these machines

I have had a good week of progress. I fitted the arm cylinders, made a mounting bracket for the pump, got a new return hose, hose flanges for the pump bought and fitted. The leg cylinders came back from the rebuild. With the arm bled and supporting its own weight i tried to drive out of my...

Another weekend with a chance to progress this project. I managed to get the tank rinised out, degreased, and trial fitted Here you can see the new sight guage and thermometer. Now that I can see everything fits well, I can paint the tank. I also got the slew cyclinders in position I used...

Everybody loves an update. I have got 5 of 7 cyclinders back from the shop, cleaned, inspected and resealed where neccessary. I also have the valve block from the shop. In the mean time I managed to get some time to improve the hydraulic oil tank in 3 minor ways 1. A boss for a magnetic sump...

I should be able to. I'll take a look and see what can be had locally. It would make me happier to have the the rust dealt with.

I got another unit of workshop time this weekend, while my attempts to set up the new gas bottle for the welder were put on ice due to the regulator and bottle threads both being male! This gave me an opportunity to look at the backhoe stabiliser leg tubes, which were bowed out slightly. A look...

Small update The hydraulic shop are making progress on the cylinders. And the new pump has arrived. Should I rinse it through to be sure there is no manufacturing swarf left in it?

That looks great! Did you buy or build the euro tool plate on your loader? Id love to hear more about it. In the future this is something that i want to do to my machine.

Looks neat. A simple solution.

Yeah plus VAT, plus shipping. The price is reasonable so I didn't put too many hours into looking.

I do plan to see what can be done to have that old pump as a spare...

New pump ordered. https://hydraulikmeister24.de/de/69-Zapfwellengetriebe-BG2-138-mit-Schiebemuffe-20ccm-Pumpe-BG2.html I should be well set up now to get on cleaning the tank and hydraulic lines.

Hopefully you can see the video of the wobble the PTO input has.

With the pump detacthed from the gearbox, I was able to push out the pump gear and take a closer look. The pump teeth are in great condition, no chips, or meshing clashes. The bearing surface is little shiney. I was feeling quite pleased that the pump looked to have a clean bill of health. A...

Another day of lesuirely progress on the back actor. First job was to get it standing, so I would have access to the control valves and hoses. With the corrdct orientation acheived, I set about labelling the hoses on the control block. and then removing the valve block. Valve block free...
