It’s what I do!
Easy one that! Get yourself a plant pot some daffodil bulbs, and using your free K008 compost you have ready made pease offering for the mien Frau!

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
did the right thing whipping that off to clean it ... try to blast the crud off from the other side - i.e. away from the core, not into it ... after a good softening up with gunk/jizer/kero/cherry ....

You are keen! I never dismantle the excavator to clean it 
Good job. DId the bubble bath clean the grease off you? I must try that, normally I use citrus degreaser mixed with sawdust ...

I would guess he means the mirror cleaning variety from Aldi etc not a big karcher

Hi yes sorry it was a little house hold steam cleaner ......but its got stuff hot enough to melt the oily mess. Today I traced a fault with the wiring , basically the stop relay wasn't actuating the stop solenoid ...I was originally told that there was a break in the wire ,however it was a faulty relay , I'm not convinced there is a thermostat fitted , so I've ordered a new one and the over heat stat had a damaged wire so I'll fix that and tidy the wiring ...I've also been panel beating the dents out as much as I can from the side and rear panels , but I'm waiting on a favour from a spray shop , because if I prime them here outside I don't think the filler primer will go off due to the low temperatures at the moment .......so now I'm just waiting for parts and the spray shop

Hello there mate.
So yesterday I myself became the owner proud owner of K008-3 also!
Can I ask where you are sourcing parts from? I cant seem to find a intuitive offical online Kubota part supplier, I live in Kent and there doesn't seem to be a official dealer (construction machinery) nearby either.
