Thats a bit of a sod just to change a UJ. Does not look like the easiest to get a grease gun too either :thumbdown: I see that we get our axle stands from the same supplier :thumbup1:

Its taken nearly 2 days to do that. Whats worse is the parts have now changed so I'm waiting on the new bits. There is no grease point on either end of the UJ. There is one on the shaft but the clearance is about the size of grease gun also it only lines up once in a blue moon with the sides.

 

Yea the giant lump of Alder axle stands available in many sizes and shapes and capacities. Even once its broken people still pay good money for them:lol:

The lads managed to knock the kill switch off the tracked TW,

Picked up and fitted a replacement but could not get it going, with the new switch it was doing oddball things like starting while cranking and shutting off as soon as the key was released. I spent a few hours on it and phoned up TW who asked what the PT number of the switch was, I had apparently been given the wrong one, although identical to look at they had given me the kill switch off the roller controls which functions in a totally different way . The kill switch for the engine ends in a 1 and the kill switch for the rollers in a 6.

 

The wrong one next to the broken switch :thumbdown:

We were due to start an interesting job clearing some mature oaks off a dam that has sprung a leak.

I had brought in a forestry contractor to help with his big Ford winch tractor.

It had been sitting around for a while and the clutch wasn't working so he had to call a guy and split it.

Job will start Wednesday now hopefully, will provide pics, it should be Armageddon.

Sorry for the poor picture of the winch.
