jdmcm 12 Posted May 14, 2015 Hello guys, as the title says, looking for good sources for Chieftain spares, in the UK or worldwide. Looking for all manner of parts, any help in the right direction is appreciated as always John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caddy 10 Posted May 14, 2015 Hydraulic pumps and bits like that can be found in an agricultural dealership - hydraulic pump on the GUE that powers the fan etc is off a David Brown tractor. The oil filter on the GUE is the same as used on some VW diesel engines. Brake parts - you'll need to get in touch with Past Parts in Bury StEdmunds. Other than that, Marcus Glenn, etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
