Off the shelf chain or made up Timon ?

[TIMON]

Hi Bob. Bought from a well regarded merchant on here. One that they made up off a roll I guess as they sell it by the roll. I hit a buried nail and the rivet gave way. First time this has happened in nine years using saws.

Timon

Spring on the overworked IW trailer decided to let go

 

 

Workshop compressor blew a gasket , £60 for a bit of cardboard:thumbdown:

 

 

At last found a decent barrel pump for the chain gloop. All the others we have had carry on dripping for a week, this one the spout turns up. No more mess

Had a mixed day of breakages on Saturday: got the new transfer box back in the Land Rover, then it split a brake pipe on the way home.

Then the isuzu started running like a bag of spanners. But I did get the back of the little ifor williams repaired.the main bar underneath the floor at the back had completely sheared in half after a meer 12 years very gently use.

I wish this little trailer had a mile counter and a weight counter on it!

And the garage have just rung to tell me every brakes pipe on the 110 needs replacing

had a leaky hyraulic fitting on the a530t vari track ram,thought id sorted this some time bk , it would apper not sorted now tho,

 

had to use a make shift inspection ramp

 

 

 

 

Never had the luxury of a telehandler I the same problem with one in the woods today Johny except a stump ripped off the fitting on the ram:thumbdown: Had to use a makeshift ramp to get under the poxy thing Why are there no belly plates on these Jensen chippers? With the tracks sinking into the forest floor there is zero clearance under the chipper so just about anything can get in there and rip bits off. Not impressed.

Bottom roller on the GM 220 stopped today, suspect broken motor.

We'll have a look tomorrow, lucky I keep the tw in reserve, saved the day and we drove home with the cheque.

Priceless.

Land rover clutch today. Obviously in the middle of nowhere.

It'll probably just be the splines - you can buy a replacement weld on boss from green mech (but it needs to be fitted accurately!)

We've had loads of those single Ifor springs fail Bob, they're crap imo. Once the bump stop breaks off they snap for fun! I always replace them with the double leaf springs off the 3.5tonne trailers now and we haven't had a problem since.

 

Those barrel pumps are good too, but don't seem to last long pumping super thick chain oil unfortunately.
