Hands up, I made a mistake ordering one of these as xr8 kits postage like everyone else's at the is becoming unreasonable at this mo'.
So I needed a kit for my pump as with the current sensor fault it has inevitably chewed the pump seal and does every 6mts or so...
I got this kit and errrrr don't...
The diaphragm is next to useless and the piston seal,
A, wrong material.
B, will not go into the cylinder once mounted on the piston..
A bit of a smack in the face and Ive ordered an xr8 kit anyway...
Embarrassing it is.
Hopefully not for anyone else... :oops:

It's a Del-Morino 1.2 metre cutter deck that goes on the 3 point tractor linkage, I was not paying attention and dropped a wheel over the concrete edge of the river bank, it ripped the solid tyre off and bent the swivel post, needed oxy acetelyne to bend it straight:eek:. Bodged the tyre, will order a new one when the lock down ends. The 4 new P38 tyres arrived today, all the way from Spain:D

The normal ride on mower has a 42" cut but at this time of year will only cope with half that and it uses nearly €10 of petrol to do one cut of all the grass, the Kubota is diesel and uses less than €2 of red to cut all and the deck will cut close to the 1.2 metres width however long the grass so is much quicker.
Got to get the tyres fitted when the lock down ends, village garage does it for me.
 
Mmmm, Kubota good tool mate.
I've a client with Massey rideon mower. 3cyl diesel engine and a prop driven cutting bed. It'll cut through grass at any height. Proper pro machine.
What does the garage charge to ged rid of your old tyres and balance them?

The cutter deck is driven off the PTO on the Kubota,
The garage charged me €15 a wheel to fit and balance the tyres for the MR2, nothing for disposal.

About the same this end with 2.90€ per pneu for disposal. I didn't think that was bad either. Considering I rang up and asked not knowing if they would fit tyres from another establishment. :cool:

Just looking at that myself. By the time I've done the air lines this weekend, the dryer will be the only thing on the EAS I haven't replaced/refurbed.

Actually, I was looking at this one.

Try xr8 on the net and see if they do a kit and compare it.
I've always bought my air kits for the pump from them, at least before I bought this last shi[e....

I burn through a kit every 6mts as the front sensor twitches and the car bloody danses to keep up and eats pump seals..... But when island are trading eu again they are ear marked for replacement...
