Love those pics, not sure if someone might have to much time on their hands though!!

Sorry to hear of your loss. I know someone who put a merc engine from a combine into an MB trac, I cant remember which make of combine, I think its Claas, I'm sure someone on here will know, there are probably some relatively low hours combine engines out there as they only get used 2 months of the year.

Can't help thinking your'e pushing too much negativity towards this predicament Dave

 

This is an excellent oportunuity to completely change your M -O.

 

Refit the MOG, and turn it into a MEWP. Wha Hey, Bobs your uncle

 

Down size a little, get shot of the timber trailer and chipper,

then just get Ed or Matt in to disappear the arrisings.

 

 

SORTED

you have far too much time on your hands

[bob]

Dave just to cheer you up i have just printed your invoice

Before you give it all to the moggy man

[Rich Rule]

good luck with the refit Dave, hope you get sorted ASAP and all the best for Christmas and New Year.

Sorry to hear about mog, they are great when they are going. I have been without mine for approx 3 months one thing after another between air and brake problems and mechanics taking bits off and not coming back for 2 weeks, but 3 grand later i have real brakes, but you learn to adapt and use what you have and you will get there. As far as the crunch, its the best thing that could happen. Before you had to be good at your job, save up your money and beg the bank manager, but of late tick a couple of boxes and you have a new transit and tow behind. The strong will survive. I dont do this job because i like starting at 9 and finishing at 5. This time next year it will just be another story. I put my back out on Monday and was at the lawyers today chasing a developer for 5 grand that i will probably never see, but hay ho thats life, put on the news and see some real problems. So chin up my mogy friend, Alex will fix it and we will get a big storm in January, This is my first time here so be gentle. Charge on.

Welcome to the site mate !

 

I think you talk a lot of sense.

 

Thanks for the words of encouragement, hope you get you £5K.

[skyhuck]

Oh shoot Dave so sorry to hear this, i know exactly what this will cost you and it isn't pretty.

 

Hope things work out quickly for you as downtime is the biggest killer when this happens.

 

I suppose in some ways it's the best time for something like this to happen as you were probably about to have time off anyway.

 

Is Alex re-building the engine or are you looking for a replacement ?

 

Best of luck, Matt.

 

Cheers Matt.

 

The engine is being rebuilt, apparently the 200bhp engines are dry lined, so it having new liners and pistons, etc.
