I’ve found another set of wheels but haven’t got the right sized valves (obviously!)... Will pick some up from d and d tomorrow.

Tubes were toast!

 

[diggerjones]

Thats great.

Ha. That is probably a proper ford. As mine is Japanese. Mine is 1991 that one must be 80s. Would be a good little tool i would think.

Ok Dylan,

Finally got mine finished off this evening. Still needs a bit of cellulose shine on the frame yet but I'll want to try it out in anger for a bit to see if it performs as advertised.

The skip was sitting taking up space on a pallet since I converted the dumper to a loader, so thought I might as well try and make some use of it.
Wheels and hand pump were also items had been sitting around for several years redundant from previous projects. Were going on EBay at one time but decided worth keeping as you'll never know when they might be needed.

Generally well pleased as to how it's turned out. Cost me the guts of £30 for the new jockey wheel

 

[Mintsauce]

That's spot on! Don't forget how much you paid for the Terex sticker

Ahh bollocks, forgot about that

Why didn’t you plumb the ‘tipping trailer’ into your loader a simple tap to isolate one of the services and a pipe running to the back of it, quick release coupling bobs your uncle
Bit a brilliant idea to make use of the skip

A closer inspection shows the hose is on a quick release to the pump. I've a 50mm hitch plate out front for the loader useful for shunting about. The hose then can go onto one of the auxiliary flows at the front.

A a service to the rear might be in future plans, but at present it was simply because the pump was lying around and I thought it might as well be used.
Means as well that the trailer can be used behind something else, although I'm not sure if plod would be happy to see this on the highway.
