With you on that one Druid, showing our age now aren’t wešŸ˜ŒšŸ‘
certainly are Mick ....
can vividly remember being out in Brecon Wool Merchants, 1980, in a Hydrocon Clansman, driving it for a Co. I used to work for,
having a 2" pick up/main feed hose go to the rotary coupling. :cry:
Rang the boss and he'd told me to 'pop down the road' a hundred yards, to a hyd place, borrow some tools and wrestle the bloody thing off, under the machine - covered in oil ...
then spending well over two hours with the guy in the hyd shop, battling two fittings onto a 2" rubber python :oops::mad:
followed by a major struggle to refit the bloody thing on my own ....
those fittings were bloody hateful things ......
an experience never forgotten :unsure:o_O

I once replaced a compressor hose on an old Holman that too was about 2ā€ but the length was critical, that was the hardest part, as it was basically impossible to bend!🤨
