Hi, bit of a long shot I’m after, ideally two of the old industrial wheels and tyres used on early Ifor williams trailers. Tyres are 225/75 R 10 XZR Fits a 5 stud 23x9 R 10 Rim. Used on DP and LM trailers. See image attached. Any help would be appreciated.

Agreed Doug. It’s a bit of a lottery when it’s like that. Wordle 1,497 X/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩

Morning All.

Morning kind sirs . Patchy cloud and warming up again . Have a good one .

Good Morning Hopes for a straightforward day. Been working extra so today ought to be a breeze. Fingers crossed. Have a splendid pre-weekend.

Morning Team. Off to see a tree bloke who we done a big favour too who is going to kick me in the shins! Moral of the story? Tell them how much the repair is before you bend over! Have a good day y'all! Bill, Leap, Hyper.

Bit beyond me to do that tbh. We have a brilliant Hydraulic shop in the nearby town. Admittedly the pipe was €70, but it still beats having it sit in the corner of some tractor suppliers workshop for 3 weeks and a €600 bill (for work done by the apprentice)

i bought a pipe swager and pipe and common fittings a couple of years back now, great investment and such a time saver. plus the cost of pipes (obviously excluding the setup costs) is phenomenally cheap, for example a 1m hose with a fitting on each end costs me about £7

Small hose went on the grinder yesterday. It was deep in the machine (well one end was anyway) so hydraulic tank out, petrol tank out, lots of pipes disconnected. However, we got there, got a replacement pipe made up in town. Rebuilding today. A penny saved is a penny earned as they say.

We await with bated breath. 🤞

No, no, no. The last thing you want is an SDS or an impact driver. You don’t see oak framers using them for drilling the holes do you? I don’t understand why people think sds drills have loads of torque, they simply don’t as that’s not needed for concrete. you need sustained torque, not jolts of torque. You’ll just burn an sds up and an impact driver will just cam out with too much torque demanded of it. You need to be looking at something like the Milwaukee SuperHawg. Masses of torque and a nice long control handle.

Meeting a machinist this morning to see about producing a proper prototype of the handiest thing in treework since child tax credits. Obviously I made a fairly significant (0.5kg) change to the design at 02:10 and haven't been to bed yet.

Just a reminder 42 of what I actually said, some not so subtle differences to the line you are trying to push. 👍

Pity for you 42.

You’ve played your part 42 from way way backI’m afraid so don’t try and occupy the moral high ground. That’s difficult if you have actually lied about people. This apparently large number of loose ends you keep mentioning are in fact actually only this one single irrelevant question you created and keep asking repeatedly. I have asked you likewise, whom said it or if you are saying it’s me then where did i say that the “NHS is failing because of illegal immigrants” .

Pt 2, John drives the "Rapid Transit", So I have this RS 3.1 transit and I'm getting a fair bit of work, bit of felling, bit of landscaping, turf,tarmac, kerbstones, and John is almost always up for a bit of extra cash, so we getting a few recommendation jobs, you know the sort of thing, do a nice job in an area and get a few people inquire if you can give them a quote for whatever they want doing, so John has the gift of the gab and gets a good few jobs, people are always at ease with him, despite his huge frame and ability to pick up two club brawlers one in each hand by their belts and carry them outside, he can be quiet,polite, reassuring,and of course not forgetting the massive sense of humor. Well he's got us this "small job" which according to him we can complete in an evening, all we need is the transit, a decent mower or flail, and all we have to do is clear this "small" bit of ground from a bit of rough grass and cart it away on the truck,, sounds simple enough eh? so I hook up the trailer, load up the ride on and off we go, 15 miles and we are soon there, I'm looking at a group of small houses scattered around,"which one is it John?" "none of these, it's round the back, follow me," and with that he's off on the ride on, so we go down this overgrown lane by the side of one of the nearby houses and there it is,,,, the "small" job,, all 5 fecking acres of it! its knee high grass, thistles, small seedlings, and as everyone had dumped all their garden waste on it huge patches of various flowers and stuff which had self seeded or taken root including this massive Buddleja bush. "we ain't gonna get this done in five minutes John", "we'll be ok, you cut I'll load, and we can swap over in a while" "better get cracking then" and with that I set the mower to cut and blow it out the side, this we had soon found was the best way as with the grass box on you went 5 yards and it was jammed, it didn't take long before the transit was full and bulging, "now what we gonna do, if we gotta keep driving to the yard to dump the loads I'm gonna be needing to fuel up, the job will end up costing us money" "I know a place not far away, I'll take it" "ok but take it easy, you know that truck can get a bit squirrely on the back end". I watch as the transit almost covered in grass, foliage and semi wild flowers disappears from view, and continue cutting, literally 5 minutes passes and John's back,, the truck is empty. "feck me that was quick John" "yeah well it wasn't far" and he's loading it up again,, soon as it's full he's off again. so after about the 5th load, I said, " you wanna have a go on the mower John?" "no I'm good, I like driving the truck" "well ok if your sure" and we continue, It's now 9.30 at night, light is fading fast but we can see the end in sight, "one more load ought to do it John," and it did, just, John off to unload the last load, I drive the mower onto the trailer and chuck the remaining rubbish on with it. while I'm loading up the tools, fuel cans etc, the lady and her husband arrive on scene, "oh my, doesn't it look different, so much better, and bigger too. I'm glad you're pleased with the result. yes thank you and the husband hands me the envelope. John arrives and after a brief chat we decide we better get going as we gotta get back to yard and put it all away. as we leave I say to John is their room for the last bit on the trailer at your dumping spot? "no it's full now" "ok we'll just take it home and sort it in the morning", I said. we get home drop the trailer, and there's just enough time for a quick one at the local. half way through his second pint, John announces,"that truck don't hang about does it" "yeah, pretty rapid ain't it, where did you dump all those loads by the way, you didn't take long" John lowers his voice, "just off the bypass" he whispers, "what bypass?" "the one their building" "but it's not open yet" "I know, I moved the barriers and dropped one side down then drove down the new bit of road, all the grass and stuff blew off onto the side, and then I kept doing that along the whole length both sides,,, I had to go a bit fast" "how fast John?" "don't know speedo only goes up to 90mph" In the following spring, the new bypass opened, and everyone said how lovely the verges looked with all the flowers that "the council" had planted, especially the intermittent Buddleja bushes.

I have a lot of water nearby, I get loads of them, from small damsel fly, to huge emperor dragonflies. when the local ant population take to the wing, the dragonflies arrive within seconds and for the next hour will feast, it looks like a remake of the battle of Britain in miniature.
