Cheers Pete, I'll have a word when I pop in next to hire a chipper or digger. Martin
-
That's great thank you Eddie, it gives me a starting point. Many thanks Martin

I need to hire to John Deer Gator utility vehicles for a couple of weeks in the summer. Does anyone know of hire companies that hire the vehicles out in the Staffordshire area. Many thanks Martin

For welding gas I've started using these people Welcome To Hobbyweld The Home Of Rent Free Welding Gas Cylinders Martin

You would need to put an earth spike in, to earth the genny. You need to speak to a local spark and they will explain what you need. Martin

Cheers Steve I thought my regs book was expensive, I'll keep an eye on ebay. Many thanks Martin

Sorry I'm a qualified spark, that doesn't do a lot with generators, so I was making the most of picking Steve's brains. If you get really bored and want to know about how your house electrics are earthed have a read of this http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?title=Earthing_Types Martin

Many thanks. Rather than centre tapping the genset would a link in the plug between earth and neutral do the same, with a suitable warning label attached? I've got some portable shower blocks that I need to feed from a generator and they need RCD protection hence my question. Can you recommend any good books on generators and there associated wiring? Many thanks Martin
-
Are the windings on the genset set so there is an earth to neutral link so with the aid of an earth spike you can get a tncs system instead of the floating earth from the cheap generators? Cheers Martin

I recommend the Britax LED beacon. I've fitted these to my friends two trucks and the look the business. I've got two 8 led work lights on the back of the defender and run them from a second battery. I left them on for a few hours the other week without flattening the battery where the old halogen ones I would only get a couple of hours out of before they where dead. Hope this helps Martin

Many years ago people stopped using orange hi-vis jackets as in some artificial light they would look black, so no use, hence the move to yellow. But I don't think you get this affect with modern lights. Martin

I've fitted a discovery drop arm ball joint and upgraded discovery stealing arms with a steering damper relocation kit. This gives me an easily replaceable ball joint at each end rather than the traditional defender one. Martin

We've got Cooper ST on the 110 there a good all round tyre. Not had problems with them. Only problem is you can't get them anymore so will be going over to AT2's when they need changing. Martin

Ian Morgan Arboricultural Training - Anyone trained here?
mpb replied to MaximusExcelsior's topic in Training & education
Known Ian for a few years. Done all my training with him. Recommended. Martin -
Registered. Hopefully I'll never have to use it. Martin
-
Try Ian Morgan Arb, I did my brush cutter ticket with him a few years ago. Ian's based in Stafford. Hope that helps Martin
-
PM sent cheers Martin

I've put a discovery drop arm on my defender & put discovery track rods on. This gives you a ball joint thats easy to move at each end. You have to be a little creative to fit the steering damper or buy the HD QT track rods and the damper relocation kit. Martin

When I got my 90 it came on 205R16, these were upgraded to a cheap set of Disco Tyres 235 70 R16, this gave me good acceleration but lost a little bit on the top end. Now running 235 85R16 Cooper STT's. The 90 still pulls like a train when needed. Martin

You need a relay & idealy an on-off-on switch. You need to put a feed from the reversing lights to one of the on terminals of the switch, then an ign or perm live to the other on, on the switch. |Then put the middle contact of the switch to the coil of the relay. This way you can have the work lights on by themselves, or on with the reverse lights or off all together. Martin
