😂😂😂😂😂Christ you are putting out some rubbish tonight.

Well done sime42, for sharing some vital information with us all. Writing as a (non medical) lay-person/contractor, I'd like to point out what I'd consider to be some important misnomers, mentioned in the many responses. Ticks are dispersed across the UK by ground nesting birds and mamals -including domesticated livestock AND deer. So the presence of deer is, really, fairly irrelevant to the risk of infection. Ticks are good at hiding in your cast off work/leisure clothes (for several days or more) -and wandering around in search of potential hosts! So your partner/family members are also at slight risk. Only 'some' of the people bitten by ticks will have a 'bullseye' -or display any/some of the other typical symptoms, in the first few weeks of an infection starting.. Hence the value of a quick daily tick-check ! Though ticks can carry several different pathogens -some folk do mysteriously survive bites/infections with just an apparently healthy immune system(!). Maybe they are just very lucky. Would you play Russian roulette, on a daily basis? If you work, garden or exercise in green space ( that's most of us!) and were surprised by ANY of the above points -I would implore you to spend 15 minutes looking on the Lyme disease UK website -it might save you, or a loved one, a lot of unnecessary future medical misery! I think needle point tweezers, as previously mentioned, are the dogs-danglies for removing ticks. -Apologies in advance for any factually incorrect advice!

I'll give it a go, its in bits at the moment, but I'll try and get a few pics.

was it Super Hans?

Thought so.

Pulp….. brilliant.

Have you seen the new 585/592 mufflers have been beefed up? Thicker stainless now. Pain in the hoop to modify 😂

It’s high time we start paying attention… | Vicki Tracy WWW.LINKEDIN.COM It’s high time we start paying attention… 😂😂

They’ve learned to jumpflap onto things, which is probably why there was shit on my chair yesterday. Integration into main flock becoming more pressing priority. I want the pavilion back.

See, I can quote right. I just don’t.

Good Morning A day on the splitter beckons. As long as it's overcast I'll not get too crispy. Have fun.

Interesting, faults in wiring harnesses was a factor in driving automotive towards CAN networks years ago. Nightmare to find and then fix.

Thanks mate, what rigging rope would you use?

I'd hope to be a little deeper than 2' when it's my time.

You can have some of ours if you want

That split spacer is nothing to worry about regarding the loss or poor drive. That roll pin in the axle needs to slide easily from side to side. In the pic of the drive gear where you have circled in red on the inside of it, those three 'teeth' need to be nice and clean. Debris can build up in the corners and then the pin in the axle cannot get a good grip in the corners and can slip. Yours looks pretty clean though. It's a simple system as that's all there is to it. Assuming the corresponding larger gear inside the wheel hasn't got teeth missing then I cannot see an issue with the drive mechanism you have shown. If you are sensible, then remove both rear wheels plus the drive mechanism on the end of each axle rod...so all you have are the two rods protruding. Then lift the rear end of the mower (don't ground the deck) start the engine and engage the drive lever and then watch both axles...they should rotate. if not, then it will be the gearbox (or the cable has come unattached from the top of the gearbox- unlikely though) If there is some rotation...which there may be with zero resistance from the mower not being on the ground....then stop the mower. Re-fit the roll pins and both gears, lift the weight off the back end of the machine, start the engine, engage the drive again but get someone with a decent glove on to put gentle pressure on the drive pinions as they rotate....if you can stall the movement with your gloved hand then its the gearbox. As an aside.....you stated the belt is in place. However there should be a degree of tension on the belt otherwise it will simply slip on the pulley on the crankshaft. To check this- remove spark plug. Tip it on its side with the exhaust side facing the ground. Then rotate the blade by hand......there should be a positive grip by the belt in the crank pulley. If you can move the blade and the belt has little or no movement then it won't be transmitting the drive to the gearbox pulley. There is a tensioning mechanism on all this type of mower for the belt....mostly a tension spring on the gearbox to pull the gearbox on it's pivoting axles backwards to tension. Some have a metal bracket, which when fitted also lifts the front of the gearbox up and back...again to add tension. The springs have a habit of coming off in use, thus losing tension and then drive.

Fabulous little things. Way cooler than a grom. I convinced a girlfriend to buy one. She ditched me and kept riding the bike (until it was stolen).

The chain link fence is most likely the original boundary if your house was built over the last 50 years or so. The deeds often state that a fence of this type will form the boundary. A very loose rule is that in a reasonable percentage of cases, the boundary owned by the house will be in the right facing the house but this isn't always the case but is most common. On the deeds, the "T" denotes ownership, "H" denotes a shared ownership. If the link fence matches up with the rear garden, this would also lean me to think it is the boundary. You can cut the hedge face, top and roots back on your side but if it dies or causes injury etc you may be found liable. Long and short, cut it back to a point where it will survive and grow back to form a green barrier. Neighbours can be dicks, use this period to "make hay" and get the hedge in to good order and use the link fence as a guide.

Using at the moment, wolf loppers and a bahco pole pruner with 6 metres of reach. After pruning 6 holm oak with loppers got to be easier way.

So I woke up this morning and noticed oil leaking on my patio from my Timberwolf 125 is it anything to worry about and do you think I could still use it any help would be great
