Only have the one tap on my loadalls,you only need to stop one side of the hitch ram.Had to replace the quick attach mechanism on the volvo replaced the quick release with t piece and in line valves to make it easier to switch the quick attach on/off.
cut one hose a bit short!!!
There isn’t on my 70f,has its own dedicated switch/line for the quickhitch,I just feather the spool to let pressure off bedore coupling up,works everytime.Isn’t there a rocker switch on the dash of most Volvo loaders to release the pressure on the line.
Just spotted this locally in case you need any partsNew new lockdown project.
Bought a 2007 primastar and we're going to do a basic camper conversion.
On a few days off for mid term, got the existing seats ripped out, a plan made for the new layout and made a start on the new bed frame.
There will be a platform over the boot an folded down seats for us to sleep on and enough room on the floor for the kids to sleep on.
I saw one where the bulkhead could fold over the top of the front seats, so children could sleep on a kind of bunk up there. Could be a valuable bit of space.New new lockdown project.

Bought a new puzzle today...
Some variety in that picture, quad, washing machine, Phillips sound system, oil burner, livestock box, electric water pump?Bought a new puzzle today...
Nah, I'll be keeping it stock for now. I have a few boxes with all the rest of the bits to put back together.Are you going to turn it into a hybrid / EV ?
Spice of life and all that, you're right on all but the washing machine.Some variety in that picture, quad, washing machine, Phillips sound system, oil burner, livestock box, electric water pump?
Indesit tumble drier.............Spice of life and all that, you're right on all but the washing machine.
Some pain, you would have been as well buy a new polish one.I’m still at this catros and I’m going mad, some of the shafts are destroyed from having to grind off the bearings/hubs since they were welded, Iv machined up stub axles off 30mm hydraulic cylinder shafts which will do the job but it’s some pain. The shafts that are okay are worn around the outsides of the inner piece and have to be filled with weld in order to hold oil. Most of the bearings in the front gang are the wrong bearings and the old oil seals are thrown out. The genuine oil seal kit is about 90 Euro, for reference for anyone attempting this in future (don’t) you can buy the mechanical seals from a French company called “cam agri” for 25 Euro, this just includes the mechanical seals, the O rings are easily got after that. You don’t get the silly stupid 34ml bottle of “oil” which I actually discovered from contacting some Germans is actually a rubber lubricant but you can buy that yourself. The oil actually used in the bearings is CLP 220 and costs about 10 Euro a litre. The shims if they are missing are 30x45x2.5. If the sliding chrome bars are worn you can reverse them. I replaced mine with hydraulic cylinder again. The bolts that hold on the legs are 10.9’s, 8.8’s are not strong enough 🤬

Dry ice if you can get hold of some should lift it.Any advice on the best cleaner to remove cured expanding foam from a painted wooden door frame.
It was poorly fitted so I removed the fixings and refitted it but now have a 15mm stain of residue on the adjoining frame as the original fitters had it out of line.
I have tried white spirits but no joy, afraid to do harm to paintwork.
Any advice appreciated.
Petrol dissolves expanding foam or so a lad I did some digging for once told me. Some fella squirted expanding foam down his gulley traps around his house and blocked them solid. Petrol cleared them out, not sure if matches were involved or not.Any advice on the best cleaner to remove cured expanding foam from a painted wooden door frame.

I doubt that matches were involved, petrol and matches aren't a great combination.Petrol dissolves expanding foam or so a lad I did some digging for once told me.

They'd get on like a house on fire.I doubt that matches were involved, petrol and matches aren't a great combination.
I had something similar of a problem with my own house, PVC frames but i had a combo of expanding foam residue and the protective film that was left on too long, I tried many different chemicals but each one caused a different other problem, In the end i got a cheap steam cleaner from Argos and used it to clean off with a soft brush attachment, they came out very well but it was painfully slow, but iv had no issues that the chemicals were going to cause to seals or finish of the PVC.Any advice on the best cleaner to remove cured expanding foam from a painted wooden door frame.

Were you making up a batch of napalm?Petrol dissolves the white aero board, I never tried it on the expanding foam
It was to make a track in a cavity wall to bring a pipe up to bring in an ESB cable. It took a lot of petrol to melt a small track.Were you making up a batch of napalm?

I wouldn't know anything about napalm
