Ah. Makes sense. nice little thing. Never seen one that size with twin wheels before. 5/6ft x 12ft I think. £850 I think it went for.Plated to that as it's unbraked
The MF275 went upto £9700 but not sure if it made reserve or not.
TikTok loader went to £7200 which is more than the dealers had it advertised for .

Is this a joke? Never come across such a spasticated track motor filling port in my life. First time changing the Wackers and it's literally taken me half an hour per side to get the oil in there. Can't fit the nozzle from the bottle of EP90 in there so made a little funnel which means I can drip in a tea spoon at a time where most of it spills out around the filler hole. There must be an easier way to do this??. Takeuchi you could waggle your finger in the hole! This one is smaller than a drinking straw

I have a bit of plastic tube that self tapped into the hole, then small funnel and a bit of patience
and fill hole to top

Yeah was thinking something along those line for next time but the hole is probably only 8mm so not exactly alot of room to get any thing and still allow the gear oil in too.I have a bit of plastic tube that self tapped into the hole, then small funnel and a bit of patience

I've usually got plenty kicking about, up to 60cc and lots of small bore tubing from old 'giving sets' from my treatments
they don't like oil/petrol/diesel, so are one use items .. the rubber plunger expands, but fine for a few hours use ... very useful things to have about

Respectfully, those are wank. They never draw properly, the seals leak and the cap threads lock together.
I switched to these and they have changed my life. They also come with a selection of tubes, some narrow enough to do to fill ports that OP is struggling with. They draw 80/90 without the seals bypassing.

yeh got a couple of pumps for tranny filling ... one lever type in the neck of a 25l drum and an old rotary which is my favourite - bit like this - mine has a nice tapered nozzle and is probably as old as me

I find the metal type just as bad as the first one you posted. Seals end up bypassing.
You can see the double seal arrangement through the translucent plastic on the eBay listing I posted. It’s a much better design.

When I was in new Zealand they had the oil safe type pumps for the 25ltr cans. But the head had a better design so the cans could still stack with the pumps in. The workshop was full of them. Every can had one. I thought It was the absolute height of luxury having come from farm and only ever having a cut off coke bottle as a funnel

Length of 8mm/10mm soft copper tube, with a couple of reducers soldered on the end to make a funnel shape. Can be flexed for access to gearboxes etc
