Bit of a long story... A local arb was on holidays and got me a solo job tidying up a woodland, with a big poplar for us to do when he got back. It went badly, he wouldnt climb higher, he just wanted to smash big peices from low down. He tried negative rigging when it could easily have been positive and controlled, wouldnt listen to me. Tennis court fence got smashed, also his ladder smashed, he ran away. I stayed, wasted an extra day fixing the fence. Fixed, not perfect but customer is happy. Anyway after the repair, I got paid for the days I was owed (not for the fence). Customer had some trust in me, so I recommended somone else who I know is excellent. He has no fear of climbing higher and he is much quicker than the other guy. Small peices and controlled. That brings us to today, not quite finished, the stem left to peice down and just me today. Not very high, I thought ladder would be a pain so left it at home, used spikes instead. I prefer spikes to ladders! Thankfully the quote was to leave the logs as I cant shift all of that by myself! I did say I'd cut them smaller and tidy it up a bit.

Read thread again, Dan. Addressed.

The view of most people I would imagine, what is more concerning is the fact the current PM whom is a highly educated individual saw fit to appoint him ( despite advice to the contrary) to one of the top posts the UK has to offer. A dire judgement call to say the least.

I could never understand how or why he was put on a pedestal- he was and always will be a self serving sort, the same goes for a lot of them. The current lot included! The times politicians have treated the voting public with such disregard beggars belief, whether it be expenses fraud or any such law breaking!

I'm thinking the ideal negative rig drops the piece straight down below climbers feet, and then gradually slows down as it descends. Someone good on the ropes from below can do that, I couldn't do it myself from a portawrap up the pole having just pushed the piece. You still need the guy on the ground to undo the rope anyway.

I was really impressed by the build and specification when I first saw them some years ago. I was delighted to be offered a role with such a good product!

A little bit of time inside for Mandy perhaps? Passing confidential and valuable government information on to a financier presumably with the intention of enabling insider trading whilst a senior government minister could be seen as rather serious.

So , the bus driver who chased after the bloke that stole a necklace from one of the the passengers , caught him then defended himdelf when the thief puched him by punching him back and laying him spark out got the sack . Both men were arrested but the driver was subsequntly relieced with out charge . The bus company said he left the bus with the doors open but on the bus camera you can see that he locked the doors . He said that he dosn't want his job back now as he is pissed that the company took that attitude . You just can't friggin win .

Tractor loader joystick third service button.
GarethM replied to markieg31's topic in Maintenance help
Loader Joystick Kit 1 x 3rd service button for Alo Quicke Massey Trima Case | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK (Cable Not Included). Case International 1985 >. 384 484 584 684 784 884. 354 374 444 454 474 475 574 674. 856XL 956XL... Cheaper to just replace the joystick, unless you need both buttons. Mine has two buttons, one for 3rd service and one for electronic clutch. -
Got a replacement for my David brown 1490. List of things is already growing. I have the loader joy stick with three blanks where possible buttons can go. I need a button so I can activate the third service, any ideas where I may find one, to purchase, my searches have been fruitless. Looks like they kept up with the servicing...
