Here is the link

Greendragon3 has some brilliant threads on rebuilds for anyone interested.

He has one about a MF 35x rebuild that anyone like me that learned to drive on one will love.

The older ones were great little workhorses. FIL had one a few years ago with a stainless straight exhaust from the manifold. Sounded great going up the fields with the turbo going. He sold it then

When the woman wants to have a go driving

davidk1394

Just wondering what sort of life would you be expecting out of a battery in a digger thats in constant use. The battery in ours is in 5 years and starting to get a bit sluggish

O.A.P

I hope to get 5 years out of every battery I buy.
Less than 3 in normal use and conditions and I'm not happy but any more than 5 has to be considered a good battery imo.
When I replace a battery I put the receipt in a freezer bag and put it under the new battery, that way you know for sure how old it is.

or etch the date onto the plastic battery casing and leave the receipt in the filing cabinet! ☺

We scratch the date in with a knife on top of the battery. The ideal with the reciept is a good idea though

Most shops ,motor factors or garages scribe the date of sale on the battery for their own sake anyway
It stops lads coming back with a 5 year old battery and a 6 week old receipt I suppose.

Went to a clearance auction this morning, but I was delayed and arrived late.
As I arrived in they just dropped the hammer on a JCB telescopic 3.5 ton lift with 6m reach, 2014 with 1000hrs....€12k.

If it rained soup, it's a fork I'd have.

That's very cheap. Was there any obvious faults on it? Not too often you'd come across bargains like that.

Would be subject to VAT (33%?) and auctioneers fees also though? Still wouldn't be dear at that.....

The only thing is with bargains like that is yes the man buying got great vakue but if you got there in time and started biidding against him, the two of ye would drive the price up and it might not be a bargain by the time ye are finished.
i see it with the likes of ebay. an item comes up for sale with no reserve but a start point of 100 and no one bids. Bargain. Then it reappears a week later and sells for 1000, what its worth

Would any of ye by stuff in from england ?? In Cambridge and the likes

IH784man

How much would haulage over cost

X6.430macman

Good bargains to be had in Cambridge if you know where to look. Haulage would depend, but around 400 for smallish items to me in the midlands
