3.5t tipper needed

[diggerjones]

I'm on the look out for a 3.5t tipper. I've had 2 cab star's and like that type with no bonnet. Ideally twin wheels as the single wheel one's ive had tend to get stuck on a dog turd.
So if anybody knows of anything or see's anything, let me know.
Cheers Dylan

What’s up with your Cabstar?
What sort of age/dosh are you looking for?

Its making a funny noise at certain speeds. I presume clutch. The noise stops when you press clutch in and coast.
10 years old maybe 8k

Could be a uj on the prop-shaft. Easy to check/remove if it’s a tipper - if so Firow at Holmes Chapel are your friends.
If it is clutch it’s not a big job to get the gearboxes out of them either.

 

[diggerjones]

I did wonder if its a uj .hoping
I did do one uj last year so could be. I did give it a look and it was tight, no slop in it. So could be to tight and fooked

Having had a twin wheel, there as if not more useless than a single wheel cabstar and tow less too

Izusu grafter is the one to have. Apsolute weapons with exhaust brake too

Yeah thats what I've been thinks about. Be more legaĺ towing 3.5t about

If you go for a later shape Cabstar, think they ran from 06/07 onwards. The twin wheel model is the only one that tows 3.5t. The 08 35-13 MWB one I had was an absolutely brilliant truck. Arguably pulled better than all the trucks I’ve had since.

 

[Storrsy]

Here's a question, I used to have a cabstar, older one. It was great as a tipper but gutless at towing. Would the newer Isuzu grafters be able to do a proper hill start towing the full 3.5t?

I’ll ping you an invoice for the £10k I’ve just saved you mate.
(Or split the difference and give me £5k cash, get your mattress away from the ceiling a bit…)

Firow sorted me with a new prop for mine when I had a slight “incident”

What the hell was the slight incident

Bit of mis-communication and ended up with a prop shaped more like a banana. Surprisingly hard to find a second hand replacement, Firow had them on the shelf. Direct from Turkish factory that produce for Ford iirc.

Well it's condemned now, failed mot. Cab rot, cab mounts are all rotten so not economic. Anything about. Think price's are a bit more realistic now

What’s your budget? Will keep my eyes and ears open!
