    Jokes???

    Well, thanks to genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt was married to O. Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, and owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt. Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock. Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition who was nick-named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt. Now when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt,' you can correct them. Sincerely, Crock O. Schitt

    Jokes???

    I went to the Doctors to talk about my weight problem, I thought he said to me "Take more exercise and don't eat anything fatty" So I said to him "do you mean stuff like pies and chips. And stuff like that?" And he said "No, I mean don't eat anything", "FATTY!"

    Went to get a big tattoo of an Indian on my back last week, always wanted one. Halfway through, I said "Don't forget to put a big tomahawk in his hand". The tattooist said, "Give us a chance mate, I've only just finished his turban"
  4. Off memory, the 4jb unit was 75hp and a lump! Different engine mounts in fact different everything. Good of you to come forward with it mind. Well done for being thoughtful.

    'Bout right, that....
  6. Top Tip Max! you good at the mo?
  7. It is such a "sorted" machine that very little has changed over the years. The gap between the blades and shear bar is set up in the factory and then locked. Get a suitable lever and see how much bearing play there is by moving the flywheel back and to along its axis. Ifvthere is loads, yack out the flywheel and fit new bearings and out it back. Check also the condition ifvthe shear bars whike it is out. Best off taking it to your GreenMech dealer and having them do it. That way you are earning while they are spending! GreenMech manuals are available as a download for current machines, others may be emailed out as a pdf.
  8. A second hand CS100 is as rare as hen's teeth! You could well end up having to wait a while before one comes up, call your GreenMech deaker and ask if there demk machine is up for grabs.
  9. Doug is the man! Good people at Tavy Chainswas......give him my best regards...
  10. Ouch! Your missus can't half swing a frying pan! Speedy recovery....how did you do it?
  11. What machine is it and what are the symptoms? Give us a clue and expert help me be available on line before you head to a local guru.
  12. Try Sam Johnson Landscapes, he is near.....
  13. Chandlers are Kubota Groundcare dealers, they have spots at Spilsby, Grantham, Holbeach, Stamford etc. Try them....
  14. I can only echoe the previous posts. Stay strong for the rest of the family and remember the good times. Very gesf regards.
  15. Our German lot have a similar model panel van, is that a T4 or T5? I don't recall now but at 180ps, it can goe some and is rated to tow 2800kgs! It has a lot of kudos in V Dub circles!
  16. Pay up and move on..... Sorry to be blunt, but ignorance is no plea.
  17. What goes off on a rallie? I'm confused at the pitch price per night - do you get charged per pitch, then more for the awning, yet more if people stay in the caravan and even more for a dog? I'm thinking of the van route, but I not sure that I can commit enough weekends to take the gamble of storage fees as well as these other extras.....
  18. Fleet policy with aviva.
  19. My GreenMech tow tug, a Hyundai IX35 looks like it got written off on Saturday. My first serious car crash on the highway since I passed my test back in 1982. And that gets up my nose - especially as it was my fault..... I was driving up the M42, about 4 car lengths behind an Audi and it unaccountably braked hard. I did too but the inevitable happened and I hit them hard enough to set off the bags and smash the front up. Thankfully, no one was hurt in either car - I did ask three times whether they wanted the emergency services, they declined. I did find it odd that they braked sharply, and that the lady driver sat in hers - visibly distraught, and saying "I'm sorry, so sorry". I've been around long enough to know that it is always the rear cars fault and there are no excuses - but I am left with a sense of unease that I may have been in a "crash for cash" scam - although to do that on a motorway at speed is tantamount to attempted murder... Another lesson learnt is that, despite having recovery cover etc, they will recover your car to a storage facility but the occupants get dumped at the nearest point of safety and you have to complete your journey at your own cost or call on favourable friends etc to come and collect you.... I liked that car too....would tow 2000kgs, capable across country and in snowy conditions etc, comfortable, economical, good dealers etc....shame. It did 117k miles since October 2011 without complaint. The garage lads have said that it is rare for a car which has had the bags goe off to get repaired as a new dash is expensive, especially when added to a new screen, two wings, front cross member, radiator, bumper and bonnet etc is a chunk of money in parts alone. Let alone jig work if the chassis legs are crumpled. They drove off with a crumpled rear and a light busted but that appeared to be it. I am intensely relieved that there was no blood spilt but deflated by the circumstances. Please leave a lot more room than you think is necessary.....
  20. Godfreys, the GreenMech dealer for Kent, East and West Sussex are having an Arb and Forestry Event at Penhurst Offroad Cycling, Grove Road, Penhurst in Kent this coming Friday 11th July. It is free but booking is advisable, call them on 01732 441319 or email them - [email protected] The event starts at 11.00 and goes on to 18:00. Julian Cullis will be there with a good selection of GreenMech woodchippers to try and there is a John Deere Gator test track too. Other goods will be on display and some serious bargains to be had I'm told.
  21. Cat yellow is close enough, we use it for long enough with our Cat Rental customers.
  22. Infeed rollers can be used in a fairly rough condition as long as downward pressure is good enough. I would look into this as well as checking the hydraulic pressure relief valve. Off memory, they have quite a high pressure. I have known of people sharpening rollers using a hand held grinder, carefully, with them in situ, but I am not that familiar with your machine. Overland are still the importers of the Schiesling brand and I'm sure that they would be helpful to you. Some items would be best sourced through them but a number of items, service parts, belts, bearings etc, may be sourced locally I'm sure.
  23. Shame they got to come down really, they are a feature on the A57 between East Markham and Askham, the road will be rather bare without them....

  25. Redditch and Bromsgrove Borough Council pioneered a Chip or Shred doorstep service originally using a standard unit behind a truck. You rang and made an appointment, they appeared, did whatever, left it in bags for the household. It worked in reducing the amount of garden type stuff taken to the local tip. A section of Warwickshire Council did a business plan and after an awful lot of work later, got the budget for 3 purpose built units. They supplied one chassis cab and we supplied two more. A brilliant concept of taking waste out of the usual route but the fashion is still for brown bins and the "bin it and forget it" mentality - but it still goes in the landfill or is minced into compost which nobody wants from their tip! The unit off of eBay recently got sold to a chap down south and he us well happy with it!
