Apology accepted. I can only say pulling the 881 past compression without decomp is a lot easier than trying to get that started. Once warm it wasn't as testing.

Larch or sweet chestnut sleepers, near chepstow?
Squaredy replied to sandspider's topic in General chat
Yes I could do this, though I am low on larch right now. I should have some in a few weeks if that helps. I would charge you £43 each. You might find it cheaper to use imported oak, though I could be out of date with this, but you used to be able to pick up French sleepers for around £25 I think. There used to be people who specialised in sleepers, one near Hereford if I remember rightly. Hope this helps. - Today

It’s not that bad Ruben, I think the 4x4s are about £1500 a year for any driver with a U.K. license. It’s probably double what it was but I also added in sdp as well,is £750 extra pa too expensive when it’s the difference between a nipper working or not ? Bob

cordless angle grinder? As above, repairing fences manualyl is pretty soul destroying. Replacing the odd post is fine, but if its more than that (and it must be if the wire is rusting) its getting to the stage of full replacement.

Look I'll admit its a bit weird. But why did it leave two saws dry as a done and hot within a short space of time. Replacing bars and saws is expensive and not something I want to experiment with. Im going to try gator oil next. Ive used petrol or acetone with a brass wire brush. Horrible job though.

Oh, was waiting for it all to kick off here last night, nothing. Apparently a 15 year old school girl was sexually assaulted on a train to Aberdeen this week. No reports of that assault on here.... perhaps because the attacker was a white man which makes it more tolerable to some?

Mitsubishi L200 2.5 Kingcab (2 doors, 4 seats), 109,677 miles - MOT for 12 months. This 5 speed manual diesel pick up has been professionally converted in to a hydraulic tipper, this conversion was carried out in 2021 and the truck has been used little since, as it was purchased to complete a job in a inaccessible place. The tipper is constructed using a steel box frame, a steel plate bed and removable aluminium sides/ rear tailgate, so it can be easily converted in to a flatbed if required. The hydraullic tipping bed is controlled by an in-cab remote control on a lead, it controls the up and down operation (please see photos and video). The bed size is 6'2'' long x 5'6'' wide. To my knowledge the hydrullic pump and ram were new at the time of fitting. The truck was last serviced at 109, 441 miles with a engine and gearbox oil change plus filters etc., however it could do with some of the auxillary belts changing as they squeal under load. The truck itself is in used condition, it starts first time with no smoke and pulls along a full load with no issues. If you are looking for a pristine vehicle then this one probably isn't for you, however if you want a dependable workhorse then it definatly fits the bill. Bank transfer as payment, no canvassers, salespeople or oil scammers!£4,850

Not bad then -
Get it gone on EBay to try and recover some of your losses and buy a decent machine, Husqvarna K760/770 or oil guard version even better, by far the best power cutter on the market.

Remember most of Europe has been on summer shutdown, which is effectively 6 weeks. 3/4 weeks for McCormick, 3/4 weeks for whoever makes the casting or machining, then shipping if it's FedEx a couple of days, pallets are 2/3 weeks unless you have volume then a week.

They look bloody good. Ebay might be an option as collection only or delivery for a fee, or the likes of Etsy, I've sold a few turned bits on Etsy. Other than that, getting word out via friends and family/work colleagues is another option, as well as the above local stuff

After a whole week of unnessasary stress.. the re-sent DPD ladder changed from "at depot", to "returning to sender". I sped off to rescue them, no time to find straps for the roof rack, they would have to fit in the car! Neither DPD or DX could give me any rational explaination. Got them home. Got the comical cardboard wrapping into the recycling. Its not perfect, theres a small dent on the top rung and the weld quality is hidden by the plastic covers. At 8 rungs its very stable. I'll find somewhere better and without sandles before I try 15 rungs, but it would give a working height near roof level of the average house.

Can anyone recommend a manual tyre changing tool for small tyres?
woody paul replied to Muddy42's topic in Maintenance help
Never had a problem if a puncher needs mending anything from barrow to 38in tractor but just get company to fit new on truck and trailers., Went to have a ifor williams trailer tyre mended once and fitter said you can't do them with leavers, I said why so once he broke bead he handed me two leavers and said have ago, that was a challenge I was not going to miss. After about a couple of minutes tyre had parted from wheel and tyre fitter stood there shaking his head, he had set challenge to others and most only got one side off.
