A sheep helped after Congress?
-
We used to braise on new tips when we sold the Laski when badged as GreenMech but lost money doing it! But that was the solid, one piece castings!
-
Every breakdown that I've had has involved a ludicrous AA response! I had oil pump failure, again, the van came to hear the engine knock, and called for a truck. One came 3 hours later and took me to the services which was 4 miles away and left me there for 6 hours! Broke down at 11:30, got home at 02:30!

Blew the front off one on my last Ford Ranger. Loud bang, loss of power, rattle, whistle....... Had the indignity of dealing with the AA. I said that unless someone had a new intercooler in the van, do not send one as it cannot be fixed by any other method. Hour later, van turns up! 5 hours later, truck turns up, takes me from Scotch Corner to Tamworth. Another long wait for another truck, that gets me to the GreenMech factory but cannot unload as tacho break has to be taken! 12+ hours lost to the breakdown!

Symptoms made me think that you've blown a hole in your intercooler.
-
Seems I overcome the rim and overbraked the tube and tyre!
-
I saw a crawler with pto and linkage in a yard in Kent. I think it was a Marshall.
-
Had visions of something else then....

The new Evo205 SureTrak is out soon, one will be at Rail Live on an Aquarius trailer. Who makes or supplies those rubber/foam mats that you use to cross the rails? I could do with knowing the sizes and costs to seeing we can mount them on a unit?
-
I thought that there was an allowance for a canopy on 4x4 pick up trucks? Maybe that is the missing 120kgs?
-
Laski being brung into the country as well as the Predator version!?! How odd! Which is cheaper, the yellow one or the green one?
-
You did well pushing the Forst up the ramps!
-
No changing rim size etc?!? What all the customizer do? What about racing cars or off road freaks?
-
I wouldn't be surprised if a load of trucks and trailers suffer from stress cracks. The industry is known for being rough on its kit!
-
For the Disco4 owners that know me, I have a Nanocam reader available.......
-
I'll look at the glazing, I got at least opening in every window gone bad! Cheapest quote won't reckon!
-
I'm getting gritty and determined about this with a plan to sell this and buy something with my partner as we do not live together but have been together for long enough know to take that step. Testing times ahead getting ready to put it on the market and choosing the new but has anyone got any real tips? I know to put the fence right, weed and tidy garden blah blah blah. I got to decorate and make it look less like a batchelors house etc I know but, any tips would be appreciated! I got some cloudy or steamed up double glazed units, anyone swapped these out or got a wicked tip for these too?
-
That was the Welsh built Land Rover of big promise but built somewhere else?
-
I think that the branch logger in burnable bags would work, as wood getting cobe chipper but they aren't very good at brash I understand. Look at agriaffaires or mascus for a foreign supplier. You are right about the fact that they absorb hp but the chips from log wood can ge the size and shape of a baccy box lid! -
Have the belts off and see if you can waggle the rotor shaft. Up/down/in/out!
-
Someone said I have a form of dispraxia (?)... I can remember some stuff with absolute clarity yet other details are lost within seconds! I rely on diary prompts to remind me of birthdays, I cannot remember postcodes from looking them up to swapping screens to the maps, I've never remembered what shifts my son is working and keep a GreenMech price list with me at all times! I think I will be a nightmare later on too, but we all have faults......it is called "character ".

Starting a Petter PH1 single cylinder Diesel engine
PeteB replied to Baldbloke's topic in General chat
My old log bench was a twin cylinder, it would start reasonably easy without the decompression a8d if you had the knack! Some cold winter months we would put a fire underneath it to warm her up a tad.... -
I fetched a bucket of fresh water mussels out of The Ouse near Huntingdon years back, cooked them with a white wine and garlic sauce. They tasted of muddy river water and were vile! I only ate the one.....

Used GreenMech SafeTrak 19-28 MK2 buying guide
PeteB replied to GA Groundcare's topic in Large equipment
No more engines left! On to the Evo205 now! Had independent folk say that it out chips other makes and is likely toget to the same spots as the SureTrak19288! -
Carmarthen is fairly West Wales to be honest. You done right (in my opinion) in advertising on here as a free tip site. But why asking for free stuff? Are you after chips to heat something once they dried out enough or something to plough in to improve the soil?
