    There was a lad doing demos with a new type of strainer from NZ at the ploughing this year I dunno did anyone here see him. I'll try to find the name on brochure later if no one else knows it. It seemed the Rolls Royce of strainers but was dear to match around €160 I think. I have a Hayes strainer longer than I care to remember and they are built to last but the new NZ strainer had a few extras on it that would make the job a bit easier such as a built in tension gauge, longer chain.
    Ok went looking and found brochure, no number on it for irish distributer but its made by fence line solutions, and made in Oz not NZ

    Tractor is leaking out diesel at the throttle shaft in the injection pump.:mad: Anyway I found this video on how to replace the O-rings. Tempted to have a go at it myself. What you reckon? Is it a bridge too far for a gunterer?

    You can do just the o rings without taking the pump off the tractor. Just be careful that all links go back into the holes they are in when you take it apart. The different holes are to set the pump for different engines.

    Remember if you remove the injector pump from the engine you may upset the timing.

    I was thinking that alright from the video. Should I get the seal going into the engine on the drive shaft replaced too. Knowing my luck it would start leaking soon too.

    If there is no diesel in the oil I'm not sure I would bother. If you fit a new seal and it starts leaking after you will be twice as annoyed :D
