I will shortly need to change the bearings on my TW 18/100, it's only a small machine but the shop wants about £450 + vat (not VAT registered) and it's a 120 mile round tow trip: Take it to Outdoor Power Tools in Derby. They are GreenMech dealers but, historically, theybused to be Timberwolf dealers and still look after Timberwolf machines.

LIDL JOB INTERVIEW Jennifer, a manager at a local Lidl store, had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job. The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?' The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning. 'That's very good!' replied Jennifer. 'And, now you sir?', she asked the second man. 'Hmmm...let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.' 'Excellent!' said Jennifer. 'The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliché for speed.' She then turned to the third man, who was contemplating his reply. 'Well, out at my dad's property, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of'. Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man. 'It 's hard to beat the speed of light,' she said. Turning to Wally, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question. Old Wally replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHOEA.' 'WHAT !?' said Jennifer, stunned by the response. 'Oh sure', said Wally. 'You see, the other day I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already **** myself..' Wally is now working at a Lidl near you!

My mate from up the street just came round banging on my door, shouting: "Can I use your phone quick? There's Jimmy Saville just been run over down the road and he's bleeding to death." I said: "What's wrong with your phone?" He said: "The camera's **** on mine...."

I've a "project" with new muktifuel 330, rear mounted Atlas a mid mount winch and strong sub chassis in the brambles where she has slept fo some 15 years! Cab well rotted now, hut a TK cab available which is good and undercover. I must do something with it....

Lime trees!?! High pedestrian activity, camping, posh cars, outside catering/eating? All that sticky fall out? Nice....

20 odd years ago, the management company had every chip out if my ysrd and rented a machine and two guys to make more wood chips for that European F1 grand Prix. It rained incessantly for the weekend! Nobody got muddy though. Buggers never gave me cheap ticket neither!

Nice job Roger, they were a bit of a landmark, why did the have to go? Has timber gone back to your yard?

Anyone done it? What tecnique did you use? Onto which tree species? Any good tips?

What a dullard! That didn't read too well did it! No bad intended. Sorry Bob.......

Dean! You look slimmer than you sound! (Ho Ho Ho)

Nope! That's just you......but then, it doesn't weigh over 2 ton either!

Still like the Iron Horse myself.

As per previous post, get the main drive belts off and restart the engine and throw the rollers into reverse and get the no stress device fixed.

whats that thing on the floor by the bed? blue and tubular......

It is a Jensen. Their top roller can "waggle" as it is on a UJ with shaft drive to a gearbox which drives both rollers with one hydraulic motor. It is supposed to aid feeding awkward material. Plus the roller rises up in an arc instead of parrallel.

Take the drive belts off and start engine, pull bars into reverse! Then fix the no stress device!

Elder brother, younger sister. I've one of each and my sig other has same.

Ben, you could try John Young from Melton Mowbray, or Pete Lord. They have kit that will manage.

It's behind our house! Off to do a couple of things elsewhere then it is to you Bob! Then off to a decent outfit in Shropshire!

Depending on hours, check the edge of the shear bars or anvils. Take a blade off to check the beds.Do the infeed controls work and comply with theregs?

I got some Tea Tree and Mint shower gel "Original Source" from either Tesco or the CoOp the other night. Smells okay, minty and Eucalyptus ish, lathered up okay, easy to use etc.... Do you remember that sensation that you used to experience when Mother ysed to put Vicks VapourRub around your nostrils as a kid.....kinder cold, yet hot? Uncomfortable enough for you to want to get it off? That's what this stuff is like around the wastegate and biffing skin!!! Caveat Emptor!, gentlemen.

Good luck with claim and I hope that those who deprived you hurt bad....

Cannot remember the prices, but I used to buy chain oil in 205 litres and two smoke in 25!

Si! Try talking to Nottingham City tree team, they have a yard out by the racecourse at Colwick or ask at the racecourse to see if they need it.
