I know its a slim chance but i thought I may as well post this

Last monday night (14th Feb) someone came onto my dads property and stole our trailer with our kanga loader (digger) on it.

If anyone has seen this, there is a reward of $5000 for information leading to the recovery of these goods.

The digger is worth about $30,000 but someone will probably try sell it for

$20,000 of even less. So if you hear of anyone with a nice near new digger who bought it "cheap" or trying to off load one let me know.

The trailer is fairly old and a dark blue colour (could have been easily resprayed I know, but if they did a bodge home job you could probably still find a trace of the colour underneath.)

The kanga loader is green and gold (also could have been resprayed) and is near new, maybe 100 hours on the clock, they got 2 of the post hole borers and the bucket attachment that was also on the trailer too.

Dont have any photos of it but heres one off their website.

Hate to say this earth moving equipement are VERY RARELY recovered from theft, as they usually find themself on large property and then parts donner to another identical machine which the thief have bough legal.

You'll find most heavy machinery are fitted with sat. tracking, These are the only case where they are found and theif caught.

recent conversation with a insurance broker, he said a caterpillar skid steer loader similar to ones we have, went missing from a site and the police used the sat track, to trace it and found it sitting in a garage of a house in marsden.

Sorry fellas forgot to mention stolen from Calamvale, QLD Brisbane. Could be in NSW by now for all we know.

As I said we know its a long shot but its worth at least trying. And trust us, if we do find who stole it they will be shot.

My dad cant even remember the rego on his trailer but hes not too worried about getting that back, its the kanga we want.

Thanks for lookin out, my dad and I both appreciate it alot.

Is there a kanga forums???? For fully sick and phat kangers????

Nah just joking, maby contact kanga them selves and tell them the serial or vin for this unit and see if they have any ideas on how to track it down...

EG> If someone comes to me looking for a PSU for a notebook i ask for the P/N and the S/N. If they give me the numbers i order the part. If they dont give me the serial, i walk out after them and take their rego for the police. I explain why i need the S/N, most dont comply and walk away, as they know if they give it to me. It will be listed stolen, and i need their details for the order.

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
