Go on! Post their contact details......that is a bargain!
-
Am I correct in saying that it is made in the Czech republic by Laski?
-
I recently sold a Metro car on fleabag, buyer won't even respond! It seems there are a fair amount of wasters and tossers about. Anyone got a clue what I should do - it was peanuts money..... Missus sold a 7" long sideboard, buyer rang and asked if we help her fit it into her Saab convertible!
-
I'd get a GreenMech..... In the machinery forum, there is the odd thread on this subject.
-
Do you think that maybe it was unhitched and left on the jockey wheel? If you were being watched, you only have to go around a bend and it is left unattended then the scum quickly appear and have it away! That happened to a mate 15 years ago.

The knob is held on by a little pointed grub screw, it is possible that the knob is turning but the grub screw has cut its own ring around the threaded shaft. Find the grub screw and take it out, pull off the knob and replace it with two nuts which you tighten together. Then use a spanner to adjust flow.....

Here you go John, this one went to someone in Germany. Take a standard 1928, add a bottom bar infeed chute, attach it to a turntable ring, drop it on a trailer! Bob is your Uncle and Fanny is your Aunt! As they say....
-
Sometimes, doing a demo for for a sale would make a good sales video - but we never have a good cameraman on site or the site isn't very smart or the dress code or language isn't right..... I've done plenty of promotional videos and their "stop/start" production makes them hard to do. All factors can be variable which does mean that can be hard work. I started one for the 1928 Safetrac on a private railway, the weather to start was brilliant, but two hours in, the fog descended! It still made it to YouTube mind.....GreenMech UK.....
-
The 1928 turntable will be available for a short while - get your order in!
-
Kilworths are top people! Mark Parnham and team are the guys for BCS stuff.
-
I'll pass your comments onwards to the relevant people. Thanks for posting. What's yours called BTW?
-
Fancy a chip dinner one day? We could muse over the merits of Brit tin versus the rest! Then settle on GreenMech as THE firm with manufacturing pedigree and history....
-
Buy British! The GreenMech sub 750 range is the range to be with. Plus good backup and support from a range of dealers with a large manufacturer with 50+ years of developing and manufacturing pedigree to boot!
-
His "not guilty" plea is fair sickening! It will cost the state thousands and not increase his punishment - sorry, rehabilitation, by a worthwhile measure. Surely it is high time that the system took the stance that "we" cannot afford this and his family, extended and distant, should pay for the financial cost of his crimes, by any means possible. Just to that he is from Winco is no excuse, his poor upbringing neither, him not benefitting from a decent education is his fault not ours or the states, his drug or drink problem is his and not mine, and his inability to hold down a job is still no excuse to steal. In fact, there isn't one....... Yet those decent people amongst us still pay for their unsociable acts AND let the bleeding hearted sorts make excuses for these scum! Stop them from procreating and give them many years hard labour at the expense of their relatives!!!

Come on Dean! John is waiting for an answer!!!!

Mini loaders- Kangs, Boxer, Sherpa and roll bars?
PeteB replied to Rhystree's topic in Large equipment
Simple rule - if it has a seat, it has to have a Roll bar and belt. If you stand on it - nowt is needed. -
It was Mr Blair his self! He also ran about in a Luton bodied van with a tail lift, the van carried the necessary tools and a load of bins to facilitate most jobs. Where he acquired the bins is open to conjecture...... Go on Steve, post a picture!
-
Welcome to the club Mick. What's yours called?
-
Party!?! More like a tea dance or shuffle.....
-
Sssh, thing thing best left to the imagination.....wouldn't lend it out!
-
I'd like to echo both these thoughts. Doug Bennet - Top Man, ditto Liz, Fran, Weaner, Big Stu, Big Al and all the others who worked and helped out over the years in the shop or in the tent at shows. Was reminiscing at the weekend about the kerfuffle at Lockerbie and talking about the little shop/unit up the hill....Very best wishes for the future to you all. Use them or loose them is a good mantra too.
-
I had one as a GreenMech tow tug. Did about 140k miles in three years and I found it pleasant enough company. Main dealer parts and servicing was ruinous! Had the TD4 BMW unit and would have another too.
-
A benefit of being in the club, being able to drink several pints of Stella, but with the maturity not to turn into a plonker or wife beater! And as we get up in the night to empty anyhow, more wee doesn't matter!
-
When Morton said that they don't turn, he meant steer. We looked into this and, on balance, stayed with the leg as it became a brake. Fair play to you for doing something to your CS that you are comfortable with.
-
We still make the CM220MT55! But like Dan says, the 1928 has a wider feed which gives brashy stuff more room. But the 220 is still a good, solid, robust machine that has survived well!
