Can you put a pic up with what you need machining off? How quick do you need it done?

Ah i sense an offer? Which is appreciated but i think it's OK now, if you look at the image, the right edge has hit the chassis leg and squashed against the next lip in, in places, this trapped the belt causing it to basically wander off the wheel a tooth and scrub on the chassis which sounded god awful, also since i ran the engine without any belts on or crank pulleys and woody woodpecker was still there i conclude that the pulley is fine.

Incidentally, when the engine is hot and I'm in 6th doing 70ish you cannot hear the engine tapping at all, only when accelerating and very loud at cold so I'm thinking 90% injectors :?

Anyway, if it changes i might take you up on that but i have 'a guy' 5 mins away in fairness :-)
Cheers :-)

Once i get the ac system repaired and refilled i can put the plastics back on and sort it out then take it to Ford.

No problem, if you need I can machine it for you but couldn't guarantee the balance of it.

Thanks :-) worse case I'll put a washer between it and the crank pulley to space it out further, I've ordered a 5/1250 belt now too aswel as fixing the pulley so tbh over the distance of it a minor wobble shouldn't cause any problems :-)

They're my 2 daily drivers, jcb has over 7000 hours on it 8) take a while for me to clock that up in red!
Jcb is still on the original Perkins engine which is smooth as the day it was when bought in 2008, it has never been plugged in for diagnostics, only had filters and oil.
Are you listening Ford?

Jcb revs high all of the time when operating, 90 decibels, you hear that Ford, only 90 decibels!.

:lol:

The jcb has actually lifted red up in the air off the trailer etc so it'll win the war lol

Found this little sod, you might say it is an obvious place and only a blind bas*ard could miss it.

And to be perfectly honest, yes you'd be quite right :lol:

Least I'm no longer scratching my head over it, i thought hilti were to blame. :roll:

Need to look for another switch on the other side or add something i can reach from both sides lol
