I bought my timberwolf TW150 new last year and noticed the tow hitch had been changed from the old bradley one too an AL-Co. One. Bit of a shame but no worries. Anyway the actual bit that clamps over the ball hitch has bent over to one side and the chipper is not really towable. I'm sure I can get this part as a replacement easy enough, but my question is can I change the whole assembly to a bradley one? And if so, what model? Thanks

For the Arb show there is a tiny railway station nearby called Kemble. It is about 4 miles from the showground, and plenty of trains go there from London Paddington everyday, some are direct and others you would have to changes trains at Swindon.

Ok, in this country then HMS means Hemi Spherical. It refers to the shape of the biner, not what it may or may not be used for.
-
I was dissapointed that my brand new chipper had a manufacturing date of over a year before I got it, but I got over it and its ok now. Harness would be relativley less dissapointing, and easier to get over.

Loler is from when its put to use, as long as its not been in daylight for 4 years. Same as with helmets. If it has a manufacturers date of 2005 but you record it going into service in 2008 then the 2008 date is fine.

I think your all missing something simple here....... Munter hitch can be put on any karabiner, so its nothing to do with that. HMS = HeMi Spherical. i.e. offset, or curved to one side, as apposed to being symetrical on both sides like the old style pear shaped ones were. The term has been in use since the eighties at least, and back then a munter hitch was called an italian hitch anyway and so has nothing to do with the HMS name.

100 quid for a fake one, and don't mention the word huskqvarna would be ok. At least now he knows, and his girlfriend knows she got stuffed in the divorce (as if I actually believe that bit!!)
-
Im not a husky expert. Is that another fake, or is the assumption that its stolen?
-
Rhys, shouldn't the ISA (UK-I) have registered you (all) already? Or do you need to do it your self? Or is the registration just a confirmation that you are attending?
-
Yep, I thought so, but as I was typing I was un certain.

Would it be the cable that clips on to the metal strip of the choke lever has come off? It can be seen just under the front of the top handle bit, where the handle bolts down onto the AV mount. I might be wrong, it may that it wouldn't start if that cable was off, cant remember.

They do come with sliced eyes if that what you ask for! They are all sold by the meter aren't they? So you order the length you want and ask for eyes if you want. I've never bothered with them but can see the advantages.
-
Just think of how knackered it must have been to warrant a full respray. A well looked after one, with a few dents and scratches and a service history would be better than a fully disguised one. But they were good little chippers, so if the engine is ok then it coudl be good, but engine and bearings are more important than paintwork.

It is only static in comparison to try dynamic ropes like rock climbing ropes. It does actually have some give in it, enough to classify it as semi static. If you ever climb on a static rope you will feel the difference.

Only for speed lines, not lowering lines.

I only wish I could write a better post!! Oh, what a failure I am!!!!!

As long as you enjoy winning it more than you now enjoy the thought of winning it. Often its the other way round and that causes problems. Be happy with what you have and not with what you might have. And when you win the lottery be happy with what you have and not with what you might have if you won a bigger lottery etc. etc.

So change the perspective on what you HAVE done and let go of the possible perspective of what has not yet happened. That can be done, without losing ambition, ambition is still important. But knowing when you have succeeded is very important too.

I've not read any of htis thread except Deans first post........ We all think like that. A psychologist would help you to reaslise that you have already achieved something big in your life. Job done!!
-
Thanks mate. I'm not a grumpy critique am I? Just a realist with no idea when to shut up! I guess thats the same thing. Normal service will resume!
-
Congratulations, your not really 40 are you?! Oh, and thanks by the way, your too kind!!
-
Yes today! I'm an old git, over the hill, past it and eligable for the veterans climbing comp at the AA show yee haa!!
-
Thanks guys, just a few out tonight, sensible cos I'm old and have to work tomorrow!!

I think once they have accepted the estimate on the quality paper then its too late for them to worry about tatoos, although the company could lose further work.
-
I think its fine if you just want to work for someone else all your life. If you ever want to run your own business and be the "Director of first Impressions" then it may not work for you. Now if you lose work cos of tatoos then the clients are snobs or whatever you want to call them but they choose who works for them simple as that, and if they choose clean cut and presentable over cleancut presentable and tatooed then thats up to them. Infortunately its the snobby types that have all the trees and the money.
