The Arbalk morning register!

The trusty Fairey PTO winch on the Series 3 did the job today, with the tracked MEWP as a backup. Looks a bit like kindergarten alongside what some of you get up to but it keeps me active.

My first 13o crewcab came with big bull bar affair and capstan winch driven of a dog gear on the crankshaft pulley. But, it seemed to shockload the gland and it would start to come undone! I was visiting my local Ag Engineer one day and his apprentice had the welder going outside, I asked him to put a decent tack against the gland nut and went in to the office. Found out later he had seamed 3 faces! The engine was a struggle to keep oil in after and never got rebuilt!

Thoughts and prayers. I have a mewp booked on Tuesday for loads of gangly ash over a pair of sheds. A few big bits possible, but lots of twigs to lob too.

 

Man, I love it when the mewp gets delivered at 1130. Downed tools at 1800. Still got a bit to do with it tomorrow. 

 

Couldn't even be angry with the delivery driver, he was such a happy chap, and it probably wasn't his fault anyway.

Nonsense, that bit was chunky enough. That could have ruined someone's roof if you threw it down on one.

And to add to the reports of today's activity...

Fault or not, he’s the envoy. He doesn’t need to be trying to kill himself like a disgraced samurai, wracked with shame that will taint his bloodline for generations to come but he needs to start with sorry and not look happy that your day’s been ruined.

Morning all,

 

Yet another fine day ahead.

 

I had a problem with the leg sensors on my 2 yr old MEWP on Monday and had to ring CMC for advice. I have to say that the response from Pete Losely was excellent, so thumbs up for them.
