Chris you will just have to sell me that county to peg her down.. LOL..

 

I would if I could - sold it last year

 

You don't happen to know a bloke who used to live in Bedale called Martin, who did a bit of fencing and fellin do you?

 

I might be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5

Well i did know him till he had a bit of a brakedown about 18 month ago and went off the map leaving quite a few unpayed bills behind.

Wot the 4 nd 4 coming up wit like as think we did meet before at some talk or sumit?

Yep - Quite a trail of unpaid bills (mine included) - It was me that ended up stuck helping him out on that last job he did at Guisborough just before he dropped off the map completely. That's partly why I had to sell my County and get a "normal" job.

 

Nope we've not met, I just thought I recognised your 130 from something martin had said when I was looking at buying mine

From wot I hear on the vine well over 20k. Last i heard he is working the doors in harogate and has sold the business to his step farther.

think i was a lucky 1 as i never got a bill for some chipping he did for me but most wer own money as he was quite good at asking for wot people owed him. end rant.

Chris do you know of any cooks winches or spares for sale?

 

I'm looking for a gear for my fast speed. I can have one made but its probably cheaper to buy a winch for spares.

 

Also have you any idea what the 2nd brake lever furthest from the operator does. Mine is partially missing and not all Cookes have the second lever.

Its been a few years since ive used one but from memory one lever brakes the drum when you pulling the cable out, and the other is to engage drive to lift up the anchor.

 

You should have a small pulley on that top round bar at the back, the one your scaffold pipes resting on in the picture, and that should have some small diameter wire over it running from the bottom of the anchor spade back to a pulley with a dog clutch mounted at the hole on the right hand side in the middle picture.

 

If you get it set up don't forget to drive on a bit before you lift the spade as you'll snap the cable!

 

Technology in this game gets better and better, but some times theres just no substitute for a big numb old winch with a spade on.

 

If I could find an old tractor with one on that worked i'd buy it just for those once a year jobs - theres nowt to touch them.

 

Don't know what happened to the one where I used to work. Probably in a museum!

[Log-ologist]

Thanks for that it all makes sense now.

 

The part I was missing was the sliding part of the dog clutch and the pulley I broke years ago. I know of another locally but that ran off the side pulley via a long chain. Mine has a angle gearbox to run off the PTO.

I don't use the one at work very much but that sounds like how ours is set up - not sure if they all have driven spade lifters though (maybe they'd broken off that other one too)

 

Don't know of any for sale (working or not) off the top of my head at the mo - seems a lot of people like to hang on to them, as was said in an earlier post, nowt else will touch them
