  1. Got the 3.9 turbo Isuzu in my Landy, they are well built engines.:thumbup
  2. I suppose it's too late to ask what area you are in? I'd go for the heavy duty 110
  3. Some of us landy owners might be trying to find out who is selling a 3500kg drop side! That extra half ton is the only thing i would change on my hi-cap.
  4. I found Kingswood to be very good.
  5. I've got bfg mudders on, no balance weights , no vibration. Michelin do build a good tyre. On a rivals tyre i once saw over 600 g of weights!
  6. Has the dynamo been "flashed" to polarise it?
  7. Fry the bacon in a pan, put to one side. Slice the liver and coat with flour seasoned with crushed peppercorns. Flash fry the liver in the bacon fat and put to one side with the bacon. Chop the onions and fry until golden, pour in a can of guiness or a dark ale. Stir in all of the sticky bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the gravy ,season (marmite works well) and put the meat back in. Serve with Irish mash and work it off in the morning.
  8. Chainsaw them into a swedish candle and then use a splitting wedge to remove them root at a time.
  9. It is looking very likely that our farming friends will be getting some heavy kit bogged in this harvest. Could pay for itself in one season.
  10. So the alder bracket has gone walkabout too has it?
  11. Tempting. Is the show dog friendly?
  12. Would this be at the pub just up the road? The one well used to noisy arbs.
  13. Damage to buildings usually occur when foundations are not deep enough on shrinkable clays. Your local building control will be able to advise on the local soil type.Keep a watch on the cracks, if they open and close seasonally then you will need professional help.
  14. Wonder how much it is to do with arbtalk:biggrin:
  15. Reported in the construction index.
  16. It would seem that that particular machine has failed in that position before. The previous owner was in the process of getting it factory repaired when he went bust. One would certainly hope that it hasn't had at least one L.O.L.E.R. inspection without repair. One has to feel desperately sorry for the victims,who would have had no idea of the machines history.
  17. Not a right foot pantin to be had anywhere on Sunday. Was told that the interest in srt has cleared all stock. Arbtalk must be at least partly to blame:thumbup: meant Saturday at the AA show
  18. I was expecting this to be circus related with the thread title. So far all I have seen is the clown and the ring master, where are the rest of the troupe?
  19. That is how my terrier deals with the orange site netting, if it blocks his path he chews a dog shaped hole.
  20. Fig. 8 stopper knot, good to get into the habit from the start.
  21. Yup. Was working with a mate in his woods. Home time too cold to change out of PPE , a mile up the road two W.P.C s trying to clear the road with a bow saw. Out with the saws cleared in no time and off they shot on blues and twos to the RTA they were on their way to. Was a blow that they had to hurry on as one mentioned that her chainsaw cert. had only just expired.
  22. Good reply b101. Tyres are also an issue on high speed tractors. They must be suitably rated for the load at speed, as must anything towed. Beware the standards are higher.
  23. The clunk sounds very likely to be the ball joint on the A frame that locates the rear axle.
  24. Friction services (Bristol) are really good for one off oddballs:thumbup:
  25. West V East? As much of a difference I would have thought.:001_h uh:
