Now contrary to the enquiry I made when I ordered this, it DOES come complete with the two relief valves, and the blanking plugs. This is a GOOD THING but gives me a slight quandary. I would image that, as they are adjustable, they will be set as part of a machines commissioning, and I have no means of measuring that sort of pressure, so do I just put in the old valves? :scratch:
On balance I think not - I'll see how it works first rather than disturb them. :med:
Itching to fit it, but too much else happening - I may get a chance tomorrow.
Of course the bad news is it came with an invoice :bugeye:
appletree:
It says customer not present, is that a reference to a state of mind? Big money in some ways but if it makes life easier and the machine is now reliable all’s good, will the overall price for the machine have been good value when it’s done?
awemawson:
Definitely a state of mind :clap:
If I add up what it's cost to fix and add that to the cost of purchase I could have bought a more modern machine - whether it would have been any better is debatable.
It's looking like Monday to fit it - got a pile of bacon to turn into rashers tomorrow, and Sunday is taken up by getting the sheep in, ear tagging them, and packing 38 off to pastures new, and pulling out three cull ewes ready for the abattoir on Tuesday morning.

Andrew,
I'd go with the new valves, they should be pre set!
Looking forward to it working properly!
Regards, Matthew.
