Ammann wacker bits

[Giles]

Picked this 100kg wacker up cheap at the auction but didn’t see handle base was missing, quick google doesn’t show parts that available. Thinking bearing mount etc to replace it if can’t source one. Any ideas

Think I’ve located a cam index plunger for handle after a bit of googling for right search term

Throttle looks like bomag ones I’ve had before reference pic found.

So they appear to be called pillow block mounts, will take other one off to see if stamped etc

That’s not all auction stuff btw lol I had been to the yard as well , bought the wacker and the ramp and the light tower to mount to my welfare unit to have cctv on. Tower cost £46 it’s unused and light works.

Did also get this handy little trolly for moving wackers beats lifting into into belle when moving without machines around

Ramp is for the 550mm difference in floor levels in extension everything will be barrowed in etc so Ali ramp beats scaffold planks. Now no labourer gotta work smarter

Never seen one of them before! I have to ban myself from auctions nowadays

Started first pull parts from Molson £98 result should be here tomorrow 100kg diesel wacker for £300 bargain

Been to one or two over here, not that we have many which probably explains why everybody goes daft and prices are silly.

We have a similar ramp.. was at least £300 many years ago, gets used a lot and rated to 900kg. Will take an E10 if no one’s looking

City Seals and Bearings, Stevenson Rd, Sheffield stock things of that type.

Not sure what this one is rated for but looks decent, light tower is unused and will mount nicely on the welfare unit to be light and cctv mast, just need to work out where to mount it. Thinking front off centre.

Are you a one man band at the moment ?

It’s very much a joke, my chat is sh1t lol and only amounts to oh your back again etc lol. I’ve enough trouble with mrs and two girls 3 and 10 months to even consider adding more problems to my life lol


I am but I’m working on my own house extension so I’ve a subbie Brickie on as well and my 16 year old son has just done a weeks work experience and worked just as hard as the 36 year old lad who left for a fraction of his wages!

Not actively looking as I’ve enough subbies to get this done and won’t be doing much work wise as need to prioritise getting the house done.

Doing a 71m2 downstairs new bit for kitchen dinner, then old kitchen becomes utility new downstairs, then 3 bathrooms to do then garden room to do bathroom in and do all paving in garden then

Taking roof off hip to gable and dormer all new heating etc about £300k if I was doing it for someone. Hoping to pull it off for £120-£150k. Will end up 5 bed, 320m2 house with 40m2 garden room somewhere around £900k + mark if it all goes to plan

It’s a very different feeling throwing money into work knowing none is coming back for it (appreciate house value but that’s only really kicks in if we sell )
