Tractorman810 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 blimey, pete lads back, good to see you mate, hope alls well as for the paint, it is pete ,its deffinatly not the nozzel, i can swap it to other tins and it works fine??, they just seem to have de pressurised for some reason?? real pig as both stil have paint in them ,they are stored in the same cupboard as the others, some 25 odd tins infact, and these seem to be the only two to have gone like it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Ive found the same with JD paint, especialy the Green, it seems to be thicker, blocks the nozels, takes longer to dry (i now use a heat gun) or else depressurizing as you have said. The NH and case paints seem to be in the same tin and are fine as are halfords paints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 doesnt seem any thicker to me robert ,but i dont use it to much to be honest , certainly doesnt block the nozzels, mind you i do remove them and drop them in thinners every time i have used them to keep them clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Dangerous stuff that fibre optic,my son used to join it down in the dockyard,makes good hydraulic hoses though,so it's even smaller than I thought,to fiddly for me then, Regards Joe.

Tractorman810 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 dock yardies aint got anything on us mate :laugh: we have a ex yardie with us now, came in knowing it all, mmmm he was shocked when he saw the stuff we use, easiest way to put it is the core, the main part ,on the splicer its magnified 2500 x ,and even then its only 5mm on the screen, total size with cladding and outer glass cover is less than .6 mm in dia , and i deal with up to 360 at a go, in 1 cable, so a joint is 720 of them laying arround. mind you i certainly wouldnt use it for hydro hoses, way to fragile for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Seany Sausage Fingers! What you flipping playing at doing all this fiddly stuff? It's never right, not a thumb print in the primer anywhere!! You've chosen two real classics with these two and certainly got them down to tee with all the detailing around the steps and cab frames. I did think though, arn't the roof escape hatches hinged at the back? Not the front. Also, the interior paint. What do you use? It looks like it goes on quite thick and not very evenly. Maybe the paint needing thinning or a different brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Did wonder about the cab roof tris but unless I found a odd ball the only shot I found of an open one was this way ?? Sure someone can correct me mind , would be easy enough to swap round . The cab interior paint is just humbrol and is just a first coat , I thought is was to thin intact when i put it on ?? Hence a second coat needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 the roofs could be switch round which ever way you wanted it open just had to switch the pivot point if i remember right as it is about 20 years since i drove a 2850 with the sg2 cab.

Tractorman810 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 cheers pete, thats the way its staying then, i know the newer jd's open in the opposite way ,but the only pics i found was this way for a sg cab, no way am i trying to make it reversable, little to much work i thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
