A comprehensive tool kit designed to cover the entire range of external ram nuts on Edbro tipping gears is now available from the manufacturer's service departments at Bolton and Hayes.
The kit comprises three frames of varying size, and sets of drill bushes and pins. The pins fit inside the bushes, which 'can be adjusted to suit the diameter of the ram nut.
If a ram nut peg hole is damaged, the frame can be used as a drilling jig to re-drill the ram nut. This is done by drilling a hole in the flange of the ram nut, removing the bush from the frame and inserting the appropriate bush and screwing it in.
With the pin in the hole already drilled, the bush opposite enables a suitable hole to to be drilled without difficulty. After drilling, the frame can be converted back to a "C" spanner to remove the ram nut.
The tool kit is just one item of value to tipper users described in a new two-colour illustrated publication (Ref SP1 /1) available from Edbro Ltd, Lever Street, Bolton, Lancs, BL3 6DJ.
