Man - that is badass! A mate once said his wife was so big, the crack of her ass started between her shoulder blades and now seeing is believing! Thanks for sharing.

Call it "Chuffing Thing" when it won't start! Did you start her alright last night or were you too tired after the romantic interlude in Paris!

I think Solly at Baggaleys Garden Machinery re-engined my old mog for someone - he is in the Norwich area. Why not have a go yourself, it is only nuts and bolts to get out then take the crank to someone local and get the shells from them too.

HIAB Legs stuck ...... why? & how do we fix
PeteB replied to Will Hinchliffe's topic in Maintenance help
There was some mention of a ball bearing and spring. This sounds like a "blow off" valve which is there as a safety. Too much pressure and the oil pushes the ball against the spring thus easing the pressure. If you have messed with the settings then you may have hosed it up wrong or increased the pressure that the oil will blow off at. On my old truck that lever was a basic safety tap. Horizontal to work, down to cut off flow (I think anyway - it was many years ago!) -
Good tool too. Cliff is a great bloke as well. Anyone talking to him them give him my regards.

Good effort, but like you say, a tad high to feed easily. How did you get on with the overhang behind the rear axle, did she get a bit light on the handlebars?

I love the look of your nearside front wing. Class!

There's nowt wrong with a slight exaggeration but where is the side chute on a treebusta? He ain't shoving stuff up the discharge is he? -
So, how did we all start up our own buisness and get to where we are?

My mothers family have been in timber for 3 generations that we know off. I went to work as a brash rat for Uncle Dave as a holiday job and stayed. My last duty as Managing Director was to shut the business down. We had lost all our contracts to a National outfit and we did not have enough work to pay the bills. My (now) ex-wife did not want me to start again with a debt so I went to work for GreenMech, firstly in assembly, then service then went on to sales. You could say that the holiday job lasted 17 years! -
I'm looking for a bigger unit to do that with, but funds are prohibitive at the moment!

Orange Plant in Braintree? surely the official dealer is Green Plant based in the Greenshields JCB depot.

I'm curious about the statement "cuts 5" bits as it has aside chute" - whats that all about? -
As stated, start with the easy stuff, fuse?, bypass the switch under the clutch, remove-clean-replace battery terminals, ditto cables to starter, look at back of ign switch. Can you turn the engine by hand? Any clicking noises from starter at all?
-
Blimey! I must admit that I that that "Devon Hedge" was protected. I would not feel happy with that damage done to my tree. Were you not in the house when the work started? Didn't you neighbour even have the courtesy to let you know of his intentions? Good luck with that one!
-
I found it a tad ironic that their extreme views had them banned and that has now been overuled, therefore their extreme views on religion and bigotry are okay! So non believers and loving couples are wrong?
-
Thanks Folks, bought a glaze buster from evilbay and borrowed a compressor and will get the engine chemically cleaned local. (dishwasher for heads as it did the carb okay!) Why is it best to run it with an additive instead of converting it?

Intriguing find, have a good read and post the best bits. Well Done. -
If they were planted in '34 then might they be protected? Have they gone multi-stemmed low down? Any good for a biomass contractor to get in, fell, chip and load straight into artics? What's the surrounding area like? (fell in one or section) How far to decent road?
-
He is that big chap without a great deal of hair? What a job he has - best view of the action. It is a shame they took the cowshed down!
-
No good here, had to do the housework, ironing bit of paperwork then it rained and hasn't really stopped. Tho that did give me the excuse to watch the 6 nations!
-
Sorry, (dolthead:blushing:) I forgot to put that in. It is a Rover V8.
-
I'm stripping and rebuilding the V8 out of my hot rod, anyone close to me got a suitable valve spring compressor and a glaze buster I can borrow. Anyone locally recommend a company to clean the block and heads when I'm ready? Before I start gooogling, anyone know of a good source of gaskets/seals? Anyone know how much it would cost to convert the heads to like unleaded?
-
I chuckle at stuff like that too.....

Mike Lidster who some of you may know as the GreenMech rep for the South East of England has retired as of Friday last. Mike intends to continue to work for 3 days a week for his mate Chris Priest at CP Garden machinery selling GreenMech woodchippers within their trading area of East Sussex. Mike was formally at one of our previous dealers Clive Barford Plant as a sales speclialist and previous to that enjoyed many years selling machinery for Vermeer UK Ltd and BTrac. His colleagues at GreenMech pass on their best wishes to Mike for the future in his retirement. Cheers Mike.
