  1. id re-itterate the above. Without the drop-box its debatable what its worth when you also consider what to do if it needs a new rope as well. The shafts can be made if need be but not the dropbox. The superwinch H14 comes up on ebay occasionally in both pto and hydraulic forms. so that might be worth a check. Ive the H14 pto winch. H
  2. Where are you based (with the series 88)? Id look on ebay but also keep a look out in the local adds papers etc as you can get great bargins. H
  3. From my research for the easiest setup you need a manually adjusted distributer to adjust the time of ignition (gas burns slower than petrol) and also not too large a capacity engine of a lower compression. EFI can be used but you need to use something like megasquirt to get it to run properly. Im building a V8 90 atm with a 3.5 V8 on carbs and in time I may have a go at building a gas setup. There is lots of information out there, as even the UN funded research in the 90s and produced a booklet and plans on how to convert a vehicle using everyday items in the case of a national disaster. I have a link to a copy somewhere. I can post it when I find it if anyones interested? H
  4. Hi, What year is your bedford or is she on a q-plate? Thanks, H
  5. Theres also a gap between the roof and the screen that does leak. When new theres some filler there, but with time this disappears. Might be worth checking. H
  6. Well you'd be looking at some sort of harvesting operation soon I would have thought at a guess. Either a thinning or clearfell. This might have a large bearing on the money being asked. H
  7. From the title of the thread I thought that you were going to be looking to buy a jap larch woodland...... In all honesty I wouldnt see a problem with buying a spruce woodland. The viability would be more of a financial cost benefit analysis with considerations towards markets and site conditions. Im not sure what virus you are considering for spruce? 1k acres is a fair size. What age and yield class is it mostly? H

    superwinch h14

    ....but dont cut it off.....they are very straightforward to put on and take off, just somewhat heavy. H
  9. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82lnkp1gtuU]YouTube - Fast And Powerful Hydraulic Log Splitter[/ame] Is this the one? I think they're about €750 but not too sure???? H
  10. Was just going to type the same thing. TD5 is post 1999 and a different kettle of fish. H
  11. Thumbs up to Bangor! I finished my degree there 3 years ago. I hope Christine and Colin are still there, going strong! H
  12. A nice mod I did was fit 2 batteries in parallel (200 amps total!) and a later Bosch TDI starter. I had no problems after that getting it to start. H

    Ben, Id not bother with the willow unless it was already dry and not split. It has huge amounts of water in it and unless you can turn it translucent it'll split. The fruit wood is good to have though. I started out with an apple tree and it was very forgiving. I made a selection of boxes and bowls done both side grain and end grain. H

    woodturning

    Ive only ever used firewood type material and I also turn 90% of my stuff relatively green (im not organised for it to be fully green). Its certainly the cheapest way to go about it. H

  16. Afternoon all, Ive been given a roll of 3/8s chain and I was wondering would anyone known where I could get a box of joining links? Its Oregon chain and id be looking for mail order. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, H.
  17. You wouldnt happen to know what year that is would you? H
  18. Ive used parcel2go.co.uk a couple of times and had no probs. H
  19. Id say parts for it might cost a fortune. I do know that deutz engine parts can be very expensive too!. H
  20. Those are black modulars. Easy to get hold of. H
  21. This is the way the FC do it. Basicly take a number of plots, measure those trees in the plot and go from there. H
  22. Hi, Is that 16 days in total(Uk to UK) or 16 days actually in Morrocco??? H
  23. Hey, How long are you spending on your trip? H

    Hey, Would you be able to sort out a delivery price to Ireland too? I'd take note of your company if you would send them over the pond.... H
