Yeah .. you are on a tricky price bracket there .. its not quite at the 'fooked' and needing everything rebushed price, and too low for a real good 'un .. but I bet there's one somewhere .. have you tried Young plant ?Originally posted by sandy2210 View PostPlease don't PM me for plant advice.. thanks ..

Definately Kubota in 1st place, Yanmar and Takeuchi next, Volvo, JCB later on! That's from a fitters point of view, not from an owner driver point of view.Originally posted by sandy2210 View Post

I'd hazard a guess at 1.25mm pitch, metric perhaps, if it's fine, but really depends on the size, diameter-wise?Originally posted by sandy2210 View Post
Might fancy a couple of these for it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-4-BSP-HY...item1a02f4e8b4 with a suitable adapter
