  1. https://www.rbauction.com/2012-IRUS--LANDSCAPE-MOWERL23?invId=10398298&id=ci&auction=ROCKINGHAM-GBR-2018284 This might be useful to someone.
  2. Pidgeons seemed to roost above my bench!
  3. It's a 63 plate 2.2 and the abs did appear to pulse back through the pedal a few times on a dry surface! You got a clue?
  4. The EML has come on, along with the ABS and ESP lights. Cruise control is inoperative and for a while it surged/waned. Anyone got a clue? My local Ford dealership were their usual helpful selves, couldn't be bothered to plug it in but will look at it in ten days when they do the MOT. Engine and DPF have done 70k the rest 170k. Full Ford history etc.....
  5. Had mine done some 20 years ago, I'd stopped full time tree work and had just started at GreenMech on the production line. No issues post operative but whoever said that it is a painless procedure was lying! Mrs refused to help with sample gathering and she has called me a tosser since!
  6. It's only worth what you and the po where decide on. Sorry, that isn't much help but they (and the type) are too thin on the ground to make serious comment. I remember looking at something similar back in the 80's and decided that the cab was too uncomfortable for anything but site use and road speed too slow. As a source of PTO, there were many tractors available and the weren't a decent load carrier. Try looking on agriaffaires po to mascus for comparable devices. Would be interested in your thoughts though! What are your intentions with such a device?
  7. Machines like the TW involve a tool to remove the side panels, this involves a thought process, collection of the correct tool and then using it. Hopefully, by then, you will have reasoned the foolishness of opening while it runs. A bonnet switch or "Interlocking interface" should switch off the engine if activated.
  8. Engine should cut out once bonnet is lifted, this is protect little fingers from spinning pulleys and moving belts and fans!

    Kwikchip

    Con, from your first picture, I'd say that it doesn't comply with current H&SE regs with regards to the length of the chute and height with that control bar. Is it worth doing anything with?

    New Defender?

    Anyone seen it yet? Usually seen around Gaydon!
  11. Something else worth noting is the rate at which fuel degrades too. Some EFI engines running modern software can manage but low tech engines do not like old fuel. If you intend to leave an engine on the shelf for a while, empty the tank and run the carb dry, or put an additive in the tank. Top advice from Ash at GA Groundcare mind.
  12. Any further thoughts? You could try ringing Gibson's at Colne, TS come in via PSD, a division of Gibson's. Or, ring Timberwolf and ask for Jeremy Smithers for help as he used to be the sole UK contact for TS. Good advice from Jason mind, TS, Schiesling and a couple of others used the German made EHB box.
  13. We make them for someone else, they were dearer than the CS100 and that is a price driven market so they are sold in Europe by another outlet.
  14. Go to your local Groundcare machinery dealer, they may well have a surface grinder and get the right angle for the blades.
  15. Some good colours flowing through recently.
  16. And un-tack that spacer as it may not be in the right place with the next bearing.
  17. I'll warrant that was made in China and never been near Hyundai! The same design is available from other suppliers in a different colour. If it was to go wrong, which supplier fixes it?
  18. I call them an NRV, Non return valve.
  19. I would get a decent chain and padlock.
  20. Look like it, not sold in UK market.
  21. I'm told that it is the colour and compound of track material Gary. I see quite a few cherry pickers etc with this for use inside - they often have covers on the wheels which are removed once the unit gets to the doorway too.
  22. Foreign client wanted non marking tracks so he could get through buildings etc and not mark the floor - also useful on posh drives etc!
  23. Looking at options for the house truck and would value an opinion on LGP conversions. Personally, I'm a fan of LR/RR/Disco stuff and a V8 LGP piques my interest.
