If the carb is any good, I'll have it! It does look pretty grim that, but is there any usable bits left? .
-
Just wanted to bump this thread as I still have a lovely little saw on the bench looking for a donor carb so it can get back to work again. This little saw is solely missed by all in my yard who used it. Shame to see it end up in the saw graveyard:thumbdown:
-
I only ask as I lost track of who had the high bid. Looking back I think it was Ian, so guess its upto Huck if he wants to deal. Can we split the load if it ends up even bids?

Is the Yew still up for grabs?

Good luck with the sale Johnny, they look nice logs. The last ones I had like that are in my log basket next to the stove at the moment though, hardly any ash in the pan, massive heat, and the wife loves the colour too:thumbup:
-
Mmmm, were they the ones on the 'Bay? The ones I saw were new take offs and seem to recall about £200. Bargain at that I'd say. For Ackworths info, this is the only panel needed that will rot, so going for a new one would be wise. The higher section and roof are usually very solid regardless of age, but there's plenty of bent roofs out there!
-
Ah, as in a van? They can be done but as I said earlier the Hi Cap is the easiest. You will need to find a truck cab rear bulkhead(some dont bother and chop the internal one but is a bit rough finish), rear cab panel(or window section) and the single truck cab roof and if you're fussy, the soft panels to fit inside these. Many of the conversion guys will fit the parts for you, but I'd say you may need to go to a more specialised landy conversion company if you want them to source the body panels for you.

Jon, you can get a lever to it from underneath to push the linkage back into the drum housing. Try pushing it back in and pulling the brake on(repeatedly) with plenty of WD40 or similar squirted around. If its the linkage within the shoes, it may help trying a few smacks with a copper or lead shot hammer on the outside of the drum. If this doesnt work you may need to dismantle it a bit further to free it off. I've heard of the disc conversions but never seen one. Always assumed it was one of those "add ons" that you could do if you had stacks of money, never seen the benefit really but could be missing out on it somehow:001_rolleyes:
-
I would say the linkage could be partly seized Jon. They have a tendancy to not release properly, especially in lots of wet weather like we've been having lately. Due to it dragging it could of overheated I guess if it hasnt been noticed and warped it that way? Possibly jack a rear wheel off the ground and see if you can spin the drum from underneath with it out of gear. It wont cure the warp, but it'll tell you if you need to free off the linkage and stop it binding on or warping worse.
-
Had a few rust on Jon, but never heard of one warp. Is it MOT that have failed it, otherwise I'd probably just live with it?

Website doesnt show much to be honest, they arent that sort of company. What you will get is a top quality build to your spec, not over keen sales patter. Dont bother contacting them if you're wanting a cheap job done, they are quality builder, not a cheap one, there's a difference:thumbup1: Broughton Bodies - G Broughton & Sons What body type is your 110? .

Thats what I did. Simples:001_cool:

Depends on the body type. A Hi Cap is the easiest as you need no extra land rover body panels so first think to think of. As for useage, Ive found mine more flexible than a transit, it will tow more legally, carry more legally and go places no transit would. Size of cab is its only downside following the tranny and possibly storage space, but with some thought on the design of it, this can be over come. Being a fan of the landy does help, i.e, if anyone tries to promote a landy tipper to a green oval hater, it will never be any use! If you like the way landys are and how they work, and you feel it would suit your set-up, Im sure it will be a positive asset.

It is not a legal requirement to have qualifications, or even insurance for that matter. It may be a comfort to the client though if you had PL insurance. Getting PL insurance to fell anything above 6meters high without quals maybe an issue though:blushing:

Daniel, just get over yourself. There is another world out there, called the real world. It is Xmas after all and you did say;

Just got mine in Steve, a bit late I know but guess there's still plenty of time for others to get buying:thumbup1: -

What? The saw? -
Sounds great and good on Nick, just a shame you aren't further north:blushing: When its described as "seasoned cord", what sort of moisture content are we looking at within the split log once processed?
-
Very nice looking John. Reason I asked, I may be looking for one in a while as a knock about, but think yours looks a bit too nice and could well be over the top pricewise. Good luck with the sale though, I doubt that will take much selling:thumbup1:
-
Any pics of the ES John? Nice looking 110 Though!
