Thats a nasty break,& you are a lucky man to not be knocked up worse. Get well soon,& leave the nurses alone..............................at least till lights out!

I like the music!

Could hardly believe this guys luck! ?????? ?? ????? ????????? ?.???????? - YouTube

Glad my machinery isnt hired out to people who would do that,but you were joking of course!

That will work,but you must remember these old petrol/parafin tractors run carbs,not injection pumps.

Bad luck there,hope you get it back.

Do yourself a favour,especialy if you are uncertain of the fuel type,keep it out of expensive machinery,sell it on & use the money you get on the right stuff.

I stand corrected,and glad of it. Looking forward to a pic of it with the back on.

It realy is refreshing to see good british engineering & versatility moving forwards,superb!

Looks very nice,The insurers will have a hissy fit.

Thats lovely! La chalice....oui!

Its a bi-product from the process of cracking or whatever it is,so petrol deisel etc are the main products,this alkalyte fuel is only a small percentage of what they get from it all

Well said Stevie,I'm too old to bother with other peoples bitching,I give a comment a thought,if its worth note I log it,the rest just pass me by.

Your maths is right,but remember,like any fuel we use on the job,its tax deductable.

Good post.

Say you use 5l in an average day as a climber & 1 groundy team,an extra £10 would about cover it,out of a job you might expect to pay say £450-550,so no great deal of difference on the overheads.

At the 1999 World Women's Conference the first speaker from Canada stood up: "At last year's conference we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well, after the conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb." The crowd cheered. The second speaker from France stood up: "After last year's Conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had done not only his own washing but my washing as well." The crowd cheered. The third speaker from Glasgow stood up: "Efter last year's Conference ah went hame and tellt ma man that I widnae dae his cookin', cleanin' or shoppin' and that he wid hiftae dae it himsel. Efter the first day ah saw nuhin'. Efter the second day ah saw nuhin'. But efter the third day I could see a wee bit oot o ma left eye."

Thats not a blinking font,its a gurt great punt! No seriously,lovely work & a lovely bit of figure in the wood.

the piston pump goes on these,an easy fix by bypassing it,but also carb manifold(rubber) could be split / not fitted right,tank vent & other pipework blocked /split. If you are good with spanners dismantle check/replace all rubber carb & ancillary parts,give the motor a compression test,give it fresh fuel,set the carb to its standard settings & go from there. Also make sure the exhaust is not carboned up. That should keep you busy! or get hold of Spudulike on here,or Gardenkit,& have them do it for you,if you are not familiar with the 200t workings,this might prove your best option.
