Another Newby

[Examiner]

Hi everyone, thanks for accepting me into the forum. I have a small holding with various bits of plant to assist me with life outside. I have hydraulic issues on my dumper truck but I don’t have any idea on its age, make/model and load weight. Would appreciate any pointers members could give me, first thing I need is a new hydraulic filter and removal instructions
Thanks in anticipation

Welcome, looks like an benford to me , Rory @JD450A our resident dumper expert will be along to ID it for you.
The filter looks to be a standard suction filter. un-screw it a measure the threads size, if you can wait a couple of day flowfit online would be a good shout to get one.

FFS Why can't I get this kind of luck, 8 quid. Hydraulic filter on my first digger was £130

...... return on the 'Drema's over 150 quid, last time I bought one

It's a Barford 3 tonner to my eye..... Stothard and Pitt was similar but the Barford had pivot rear axle.

Is it not centre pivot though?

 

[muckyman]

Rekon its a mortimer site strider .started breaking up one of my old faithfull thwaites

Center pivot steer, but not horizontal axis.

The SP had a neat arrangement in the middle. Benford and Thwaites used the "modern" setup. The rest used a pivot rear axle.

 

[V8Druid]

you can see the steering ram in the third pic ... @Examiner can you show us with a pic please .. might help in identifying it conclusively ..... are you saying the rear axle is a rocker Rory .... Thwaites Alligator's whole rear end subframe rocked - engine, g/box, etc., under the driver's deck and only pivoted horizontally

Can’t thank everyone enough for your input on this, think I’ve leant more about the beast in the last few hours than I could ever have hoped to. Excuse my non tech description but I think picture 2 shows the pivot point, in my mind it’s the front tub unit which allows the lateral movement, the back axle

not a pendle/rocking axle then ... big pivot pin in front of the body articulation

 

[Examiner]

Sounds like that’s the setup, eventually got the old filter off, just trying to match it up with Flowfit as there’s no markings on the old unit

I thought back axle looked bolted to chassis on first pics and not much room under mudguards for axle to articulate

 

[Smiffy]

I think jd meant as opposed to this type of joint where both ends of the top bar pivot
