just take it out and go to local supplier they can measure it you need int diam/ext diam and seal thickness should be no more than £5

or search ebay with the dimensions ..... washing machine seal arrived a perfect match for what came out - numbers were nothing like originals

Next saga!

Trying to find a seal for the Parker motor on the cutter, afew companies have come back with nothing, others have said its a Parker/Bomford only part! Quoted £580 for a seal kit from main dealer and £132 from a Parker dealer. I only need a seal with the code
‘CFW A1
BAHDSNSL 1.5
17.47 - 30.16 - 7/5 ‘
I can find seals with the odd size which is correct but the other dimensions are all different! Any ideas??

Give P&R Hydraulics a call.

Got the hedge cutter piped up correctly finally, after having my pants pulled down at local pipe place £30 for a 3/4” 300mm long pipe!

Resealed the Motor, just need to test it all and make sure it’s plumed the right way, next job is get the headstock welded on a decent angle so I can pickup/drop off without it falling off mid air when taking it off!

if you know what you want and can wait 2 days ... flowfit's hose builder page is as cheap as it comes ... might wanna order a couple of spare feed/returns, looking at the gashes in 'em .... or are they just flesh wounds

I use flowfit all the time, great shop! I originally ordered the small hoses from them but accidentally put 1” females on the end! Problem is when you review the basket the pipe spec doesn’t show up! Expensive job!
I thought you know what I’ll support the local linings and hoses.. it’s going to be emergency only next time that’s for sure!!

Only flesh wounds, wire isn’t touched, going to get some fabric protector to cover them all up and make it pretty again.

bollox! Always forget about him!! Will do next time.

Only taken 3 years to get this rebuilt, piped and hitch sorted but it’s back up and running leak free!!
Does feels like it needs more flow into it but I’m comparing it to when it was on the 3cx, which had a mega hammer line on it! Still fine for light cutting/clearing work.

I have used flexible ducting to protect the pipes before on hedge cutter head not the full length of the pipe but just the vulnerable end.
