A couple of years ago, I was asked by one of my Scottish dealers to come up with a tractor mounted chipper to show a bloke. I borrow one off of a customer for the job and repay him by fitting a set of 6 new disc blades. I drove from the factory up to a hotel in Greenock and set about the blade change in the carpark. I removed all six blades and started to get the new ready. I set my torque wrench to 210nm and jammed the flywheel with a spanner, put the torque wrench on the nut and gave it a healthy heave. At that pressure, the jamming spanner flew off and the rotor came around and trapped my thumb between the housing and the rotor! I felt quite sick with the noise and the pain. I removed my glove and the pad on my thump was squibbed to one side and bleeding heavily. I pushed the pad back into place and put the glove back on! I finished the blade change so it was ready for the demo! The hotel only had a plaster so I went for a steak with with a wedge of Handy Andys held in place with two cable ties..... A visit to Tesco next morning got a roll of tape and some proper dressings. The Rep was furious at the customer who thought that we were coming with a tractor too, so no demo to do! I decided to call it quits and drove the seven hours home with a right throbbing thumb! A few days later I was xrayed and it was broken and too late to stitch so it got left!

Morning All. Belting thunderstorm yesterday evening, white over with hail at one point! For, Lap, Heart.
