The splines betwean the main gearbox and the transfer have also caused problems so listen for the clunk.Often a good idea to take a land rover nut along as they all clunk in many places.

A Land Rover with all the kit is never going to sip diesel.My hi-cap with Isuzu 3.9 Turbo,ZF hp22 autobox,Truckman top,and Mud Terrains will drop down to 12 to the gallon when in a hurry. With current fuel prices I work on 40/pence to the mile.I find that arriving on site with everything that I need costs me less in the long-run. If land rover had used the big jap.diesel over here rather than only in Aus.their reputation would not have sunk so low.imo

I've used saws for 20 odd years,just joined the N.P.T.C. fold. I am very aware that there is an awful lot that i don't know. It's hard to know how to learn. C.S. 34 would be really usefull in the future so C.S.32b will be next. C.S.31 is up to 15",should I stick to that and practice what i've been taught?,if I go bigger on the farm do I use a bigger saw with the same cuts,try to borrow the book for C.S.32 to get used to that,or pull it over and out with a tractor and crosscut?! The ideal would be to have a chainsaw guru to talk to who works to the N.P.T.C. book.Then trees that I am certified for,had identified for hazards,and was sure about i would be happy to fell,others i could ask. The old apprenticeship had a lot going for it if you had a good tutor,imo. The one thing i am certain of is that anything i do wrong could make life difficult for present users and impossible the future ones. Any advice would be welcomed,

When the steelwork contract came up for tender the site manager was dismayed to find the Irishman pricing the job."But Paddy,you are so thick that you do not know the difference between a girder and a joist!" Paddy replied "I do know Sorr that Joyce wrote Ulysses and Goethe wrote Faust":fisheye:

So the oppos didn't know Harry was there,ours did.No extra risk from the enemy,and an absolute guarantee that "friendly" fire would not be a problem.

Any weight with "County" cast into it is worth a good premium.County where trailblazing in heavy four wheel drive tractors used in agriculture.County,Roadless,Muir-Hill ,etc pushed the big boys into going 4x4.Competetion killed the small producer,County tractors suited forestry as they they were not too tall. Now there is huge interest in classic tractors,your "County" is not a county if the weight that fits "says" FORD . Have been fortunate to drive the 1884 that I gazed up as a boy at the Smithfield Show.
