Would you work under this ?

Not the first time I've had to do it

Picked this machine up from a site with no hydraulic oil in it something had come up from below and hit a bulkhead adapter which needed repaired.

The impact had slackened the adapter fitting making the machine lose oil, the customer tightened it to stop the leak .. but the bulkhead adapter needed re welded, so I had to strip it off and make good .. first job was to get the fitting off from the frame. It feeds the dozer ram so the only way is from underneath .. I gots to get me a pit .. not much use when on site though eh fellas ?

The customer had not phoned or said anything to me .. but when I went to pick it up, the digger was not useable .. clearly they didnt want to admit they damaged it .. I'm now a bit worried about pump damage

! Floor mat and plate out, take the hoses of the distributor, join them together, fill with oil, get on lorry, back to yard.

Good job the sump has baffle plates in it mate!

I managed to limp it onto the truck .. but I cant believe the idiots didn't warn me about it before I got there to pick it up after they 'off' hired it .. they knew it wasn't driveable ?

But its never anything to do with them! Answers normally given range from, "it came out like that!" " it just started leaking! " " must be warranty!" Or " it must have been done on the last hire"

And if I had a pound for each time i'd heard one of those, i'd be a rich man indeed
