Stolen - Iveco Daily 35C12 Arb Truck, Timberwolf 150 and saws.
PeteB replied to Ian Haynes's topic in Stolen Equipment
So sorry to hear of both crimes. I hope that it doesn't put you off this industry. Good luck for the future... -
"Lady Garden"? Christ, that would be acreage surely!!!!

I have just been informed that a GreenMech CM220MT55D was not returned from a hire in the Huddersfield area just before Xmas. The "hirer" produced false id and records etc before taking the machine away and subsequent inquiries show that he has committed this type of offence before with general plant and machinery. For those who frequent Plant Auctions and Sales, please keep your eyes open for Serial Number 6073. I understand that when previously caught, he was from the Leicester area. Any information will be forwarded to the original owners and treated with strictest confidence.

Nowt wrong with liver and onions! With thick gravey, mash tates, leeks and broadbeans!

It is a chaff cutter! There is one in the grounds of the chapel in Castleton, on the road out to Mam Tor.

As Pete says..... Not bad a tool for some tree works and landscape stuff - we still use the same mechanicals on the current build although with a bigger engine. It has been quite a good seller since released in 1997 when it won prizes. Best wishes in your hunt....

I hear that a musician has found a cure for dyslexia, well that would be music to my arse!

Check all the connections on the reverse of the panel, try a different battery, make sure than the rotor can be rotated....then post a thread on the Timberwolf section of this forum and you will be contacted by their technical people.

Hmmmm. Is a pulley turning on a stiff shaft? Is there enough belt tension? Are the belts or pulleys worn out so that aren't gripping? Is the drive actuator levers actually working the control valve?
-
I hope that the new owner is as appreciative as your goodself! Best Wishes to you, Stewart!

Drive to other stuff I've seen is by Vee belts. If drive totally went in an instant, it would lead me to suspect an safety switch has been activated. Did the engine die or was the drive lost while engine still firing? Has an hydraulic override been activated accidentally so that it could be dragged but not driven? Is there two drive motors fed by one pump? Check your hydraulic circuit to make sure that the oil is not stuck at a blocked filter or kinked pipe.....

I met a girl back in February, after several years of being single and having some "recreational relationships", being with Carol actually meant something more than just a conquest. That was the high of 2012... The low point was the breakdown in the "father/daughter" relationship that will not heal... Good Luck for 2013 folks.

I got a new wok. The best thing was giving presents to other people and having a peaceful time.

My girlfriend's 16 year old son is into clay shooting, anyone know of a good place/club in North Nottinghamshire, close to Retford/Tuxford? Possibly even work to shoot?

Arbtalk Christmas Raffle 2012

I think I got mine tonight! Good Luck everyone and Seasons Greetings to you all.... -
We have a SWB 3litre commercial which was a reps tow tug for 4 years then it got given to the service team to use. It had a rake of problems early on - all engine or injectors, all sorted under warranty. The good folk at Heritage in Leicester told me that even though she is 10 years old, underneath is very clean and mechanically will last another 10 with no probs. They also said that engine probs usually get sorted under warranty despite age due to all the original hassles. Otherwise, they cost what they cost! Engine out to change the clutch? Best way in any vehicle in my opinion. 1.5 hours to get a 200TDI lump out of the front of a 127 I had years ago!

Did the survey!?!
-
If this is dead, it ain't all bad!

I went with a girl whose parts were like plasticene, I don't think I got it in but I certainly made a good impression!

Slings defoe! We also used to use the coal sacks that ee carried the kit in as protection for the anchor tree too.

I've had both a County Transit with live axles and an Iveco 45.10 with the locking rear and centre diff with IFS. Both expensive to buy and run, not too goog either on or off road either I'm afraid. You lost payload, on-road stability, speed and economy, they chewed through expensive tyres and still got stuck! You did get a bit closer than a standard truck but the Defender 130 single cab dropside was best. The two trucks have long been in truck heaven but I still see that 130 and she must 17 or 18 years old now.

Interesting point to this thread.... What do you take in yours? Me? Hot water only - but I always had supplies of tea, coffee, packet soup and a sachet or two of hot chocolate! Spoilt for choice then....

Fair play to you all! Fantastic news for you and your family....I hope life goes well for you....Happy Xmas!!!
