Yes co's in EU is because of length regulations. Shorter truck/frame = more cargo area.

May I add this ?

I could ad a little too ? Helped my FIL this summer get some ash out of a pretty swampy area. Only chance to get it out as trail is flooded in winter time.

So the thing about a hardened cross is mostly in my head ? Not necessarily a must. Although I would feel more comfortable knowing that cross and gear surface was the same strength.

I've found your topic from 2008 where you've machined the original cross down to accept the needles. But has anyone taken it further and hardened the cross afterwards ? I see aftermarket crosses with needles advertised on the internet, but can't really find any that says "hardend" ?

Nice picture MR. toilet paper?

Actually got a magnum 380 at the dealer too with the FPT engine. And with big writing on the valve cover it says MADE IN CHINA. And you get one guess why it's in the shop ?

Got the engine out of a magnum 305 (310 in Europe) to put in a new oil pan gasket, and found this. I have seen this before some years back, but at that time I did'nt have a smartphone.

Most wessels ran on heavy fuel so fuel pumps and everything went in there.

Thank you guys ?

What size are the rear's on that 1566 ??

Yeah may be a bit confusing. PTO in pick-up is the tractor part just laying there when not in use. Balers are stored really close so shaft you se hanging is drawbar end from the other baler.
