    I'm in the midlands but distance is no object. The machine is one of the early 801s, floor mounted levers

      track adjustment photo

      removed tracks today, and dismantled both adjusters . bolt threads had stripped hence why not working!

      does anyone know what the 3 holes (presumably for bolts) are for there are three each side of the leg, I am assuming there should be a cover to stop all the muck entering the cavity!

      thank you

          track adjuster

          Had to enlarge thread to 27mm from 24mm and made up stud bar with nuts welded as adjuster , should work, but it was difficult to work in such a small aperture.

            Great work, have you came across any one breaking an 801 in Ireland. I think the slew ring replaced or possibly the slew gearbox on my old 801 need repaired/replaced. Plenty of noise and play when slewing with a load.

            Thanks,

            John.

              that blade looks like it's seen better days Boyo and some 'interesting' repairs

              Coming together though, fair play to you



              was watching a similar 'basket case' 3 tonner recently on ebay with a 99 quid start, thinking Hmmm ... kicked off in the last day though and made over 2 grand ... was very surprised at how many bidders/bids it actually got
              it was a serious basket case and yer never know what's missing??
              If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!

                  Thank you for your comments v8druid
                  yes blade is a disaster, had to cut one of the pins to remove the the blade from the chassis brackets and then heat the brackets to remove the rest of the pin. I have located a blade in uk, but may try to fabricate this one, if the pin holes etc are usable with new pins and bushes etc. the ram works !!

                    Terry, page 157 tells you that these holes are for when you change over to steel tracks, you bolt some guides to these holes. Take a look at the manual, it will probably make more sense than me.

                        Looks like they've been mine sweeping with it .... how much is the blade? might be an easier proposition if it's a good price
