Tidy job did you wire it to one battery to get your 12v then? Or use a voltage reducer

 

[Mogman]

Be honest you're gonna fold that bird nest up stuff it in the box put lid on and forget about it

No will give it a hair cut in the morning just left them long till I knew it would work while swapping wires around

Got a large battery in the original box that works the cab and a smaller one behind the counter weight that boosts to 24v
lets see if it pulls the cab battery down
also had a thought about cab heating I may put a cooler on off an auto box in place of the heater matrix and bleed a bit of hydraulic oil through it on the return side of the spools

Had a good day today (not broken anything)
Had a measure up for a ‘new’ window and this animal yelded one an inch bigger than the original

so after getting the old one out and cleaned up, and a few measurements and careful cuts with the grinder got this installed, feck it’s even tinted

looks like is was made for it on the inside

gave the spaghetti wiring a hair cut to see what was what and a general tidy up around the engine bay

a couple of pictures of the dash lights,
ignition on

engine running

still got to fit the air filter as the engine inlet is bigger and in a slightly different place and make the body panels to fill the gap that I created by cutting the machine in half the exhaust is now where it was originally under the counter weight
but it’s all working as it should did have a fuel leak was a perished over spill pipe on an injector was a bugger to get at but sorted been scratching and scraping for a few hours this afternoon in the yard and never missed a beat
Ran it over the weight bridge too, may of gained a few pounds but still a midi

Brilliant. Is it for sale now

 

[Mogman]

£10,000 no VAT I’ll deliver it too

That rear window is inspired. They ought to make it like that from the factory.

What's that swissport tug like? Always fancied a spin in one...sure you've got a 747 tucked away in there..

Might struggle with the low loader backing up your drive

You’ve got a digger on the back for ‘widening’ purposes, I’m confident you’ll make it fit (but I’d ask for cash in advance just in case)...

I can’t wait to see what breed of thing is going to be the donor for the glass.....

If not Id bet good money that there will be an eberspecher heater in that yard somewhere !

only a tenner !! ........ more like a fifty or a winning lottery ticket for the euromillions

Exactly my thought.
With the extra weight on the back end twin hoist cylinders might be required to allow it to give its full potential
