I once got asked to recover an old GreenMech 8 inch from a Fountains yard in west Wales. They had rolled it down a road, thro a stone wall and wrought iron fence. I took the infeed flap off, changed a wheel and adjusted the defective brakes and towed it to the factory on the back of a Mondeo.

Try the GreenMech 1928. 7x11 oriface, 50 horse engine and built to last. So many people are missing out on a right good tool.

If I were to be un PC. If there is such thing as a second time around, I'll be back as a lady lawyer, your sat on a fortune and get paid a fortune to boot. Yes, from every dealing that I've had with the legal team, wether it be divorce or conveyancing of a house, they charge way over the odds for prescious little risk of loosing any blood, sweat or tears. Even if you loose, they win.

Best wishes, it can be a hell of job. Great fun, good hard work, sometimes well paid. Always different.

I understood from Radio 4 this morning that Navara and Rodeo were okay under the commercial rating but the domestic rating was 1 star. The worry was that more people are using these cars as their domestic ride and not as a tow tug/works vehicle. The Navara can have a software update tho. Why the domestic car rating is different to a works tug is different they did not say. One simple answer is drive aware and cut down the risks of an accident.

If you've got a chipper, run a suplimentary circuit off the roller feed/return. You've already got most of the kit there! Big engine (diesel) hydraulic flow and directional valve!

I was talking to some guys from Brum City not long back and it seemed totally unfair that hard working skilled technicians who quite often did work they were not obliged, trained or paid to do have been reduced to taking industrial action because the goal posts are going to be moved. If the DLO puts the work out to contract then quite often the costs actually go up. But the council often see this as "best value"

I was late on this one. I was going to say less than 750 hours. But you have to factor in the paint quality from the start. Jensen does vary in paint on some components. By the way, how many of you Jensen owners grease the rollers with spray grease everyday as suggested in the ops book?

just the usual array of gate hinges, chains, muscet balls and bullets and bits of shrapnel. Did once watch NickHilton plank an Oak butt with a big blue stain. That turned out to be a horse shoe hung on a sprag some 150 years ago. The shoe did not have the nail holes in it, so we reckon that the Smith chucked or hung it in the tree and forgot it.

Hurrah for that post! Only the dumb want to stop the responsible whilst the "feral scum" take not a blind bit of notice (or possibly laugh) at the end result and carry on as before. Out with Gordon and the rest of these irresponsible hipocrits that WE voted in!

I've heard many people knock JCB tractors because they were a rebadge other make. BUT. I know one service guy who will be on your doorstep to service it while you are eating breakfast AND he'll still be at work whilst even I are having my first glass of wine. It's about backup and support. Any dealer or manufacturer will tell you that.
