Got this in finally (druid)
Any guesses as to this part is , both are power for directions that go to it is it a crossline relief?

You sure it’s not the actual engcon?back and front sounds like where the tilt unit is joined to the rotate bit. Mine does it, I’ll shim it one day.While we're having a moan .....I've noticed what seems to be a slight bit of back to front rattle in the engcon bottom hitch, turn bucket side on and it doesn't do it, does it with all buckets so seems to be hitch, about 5/600 hrs ...
Never taken a lot of notice tbf but I thought the ram took up any play

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
I'd say almost certainly Stu ... the long hex thing looks to be a one way/check/non-return valve ?

Needed or no do you reckon?

need some form of CLRV or the motor'll stop dead, when the P line is disengaged ... a check valve tee-ed across the P & T appropriately will suffice... issue with doing it that way though is the motor can be run in both directions, so realistically needs to be a dedicated CLRV

Is it linked to a case drain on the motor?

Dunno exactly where its coming from tbh ..no visible movement anywhere but a tiny bit in back of hitch maybe.
Its had plenty of grease and with those hours its a bit unexpected.
Took bottom plate of and no crud in there to speak off.
Too busy now for any downtime so see if it develops.

Todays job... its to gravel at some stage after the renovation work on the house but this scheme should dry it up ....drains and gravel up to surface to isolate the parking areas.
Bit of an improvement since we first went to put some drainage in and change a knackered tank.

3rd pipe definitely sounds like a case drain, not sure about the valves, some sort of speed restrictor by the sounds of it

Huh that's why the auger flight is so heavy a hidden extension 
Took a lot of duck oil and hitting with persuader to free off the top end and a ratchet strap around the JCB to keep tension on
