Does anyone have any manuals for a 1986 JCB 525b tele
gensetsteve replied to gensetsteve's topic in Large equipment
I need to buy a set or at the least get a diagram for wiring under the dashboard. -
As description

I bought a new alternator for the 525 teleporter before xmas. Thought I would stick it on in an hr. 4 hours later a different size belt and pulley it finally fits but now have a wiring fault anyone know where I can get drawings for a 1986 525 jcb. I am now covered in dirt and grease eyes full of grit. Should have stayed in the arm chair.

dont do this if your ram auto returns.

I have a cheapo from Lidls which cost £20 is very close to the jolly which sells to arb boys for £150 . It takes longer to remove chain and sharpen so I hand file for 5 times then give a buzz on the sharpener. I would not be without now especially with the wood processor. The taking too much off or blueing chain is down to the operator. The result from the machine is better than my hand sharpening but that taht could just be me.

Ouch thats got to hurt more than a cut as it was torn open. I would imagine you are also recovering from shock as well. I crushed the end of one finger and I winged for weeks cant feel the end now. Hope it fully recovers guess its typing with one finger for a while.

You got to have hypo filters or something. Cant see why when the dyson leaves 1/4 inch of crap round the skirting board. Miele stuff has a design life of 20 years.

Any timber we dont sell this year can wait till next. I think a few people will be getting burnt fingers this year. Its more by luck than planning we are not one of them. There is still time for some cold weather so we are no where near finished with the season yet.

Yes 1 at home 1 in office 1 in van 3 wore out for spares. I wont be giving up but down to one cup a day unless I am having a bad one.

If I give up I will have to sell 3 gaggias and 3 senseos. Think of the ebay fees I am getting a headache thinking about it. I came off a flight from a weeks holiday in the summer and had blinding headaches rang nhs helpline and they kept me on the line and an ambulance showed up. I talked them out of taking me in and agreed to see my doctor in the morning. Doctor asked did you drink much coffee on holiday no not a drop I replied. Do you normally ' o yes I like my expresso at home' was told to go home and have some strong coffee and not to go cold turkey again

No you are right he has no road tax in the window.

I expect it changed hands free or for a drink so cheap raw material before the hard work was put in. The reason firewood is so expensive is the government demanded the fc charge a £15 a tonne tax. All the private owners then jumped on the band wagon. There seems to be alot more cordwood about this year

wind the springs of at the top especially in the winter.

selling an item, do you add VAT?
gensetsteve replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Business Management
Yes you are right. But just to confuse it even more if you sold me 500 of them and I told you I was going to sell them on you would have to add 20% vat. But what if I was a pub. -
I thought about doing this but somewhere along the line I will paying to receive all those unwanted sales calls my answer phone gets rid of.

gensetsteve replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Business Management
My understanding is if you bought a commercial vehicle for you business and they were not vat reg ie no vat should you come to sell it you would have to add vat. Which seems odd and have never had a straight answer from anybody in the know. So 20 years on still dont know. -

gensetsteve replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Business Management
If your not vat registered its not your problem. If I buy a piece of kit I look at the net price new ( because I claim the vat back ) then I deduct 25% per year or more if its had a hard life. -
I had this problem. Check the bar is vertical to the bed if not you should be able to adjust by undoing bolts around the back. If its not perfectly level it will wear one side of the bar first. But The most likely cause is uneven teeth on chain as been said by graham. If I have your problem 9 times out of ten its cured by using an electric bench grinder sharpener. If I hand sharpen a few times I can feel the problem creeping up on me.

Are you sure it was an accident did the rider have a somerset accent.

Can anyone beat £1.80 net hardwood
gensetsteve replied to all seasons firewood's topic in Firewood forum
I cant buy the cord for that price let alone process then stuff into nets and deliver. We do 9 logs approx in a net for £6.00 we thought about wholesaleing for £4 but would not be worth our while. £1.80 is a bargain even for softwood imo. I think I could cut the bags and load my tipper for that price. -
Any more info ? price age etc
-
I know that feeling some days I just give up as the damage would be with us for months. If it freezes will be alot better.

So it looks like I am getting Hard core for christmas not a shiney quad:bawling:

The picture was taken last year its far worse this year come spring I will pull a harrow across and it will look nice again. I cant put down a track as the bottom half is under option and should be purchased in the next year or so. I may go hard standing on the rest then as I will have no choice as will be using the remainder much harder. Its supposed to be the field behind the house so eventually will be empty again. Apart from the 500 houses

We have something around Andover Newbury area called Oracle. A business card size ad costs about £30 for several weeks. Not sure what you are advertising but we used to get at least 7 new log customers ea time, then they would recommend. We have not used advertising for about 3 years and cant cope with more log deliveries. We advertise in the firewood directory on here and I think when you post on the forum it helps refresh your presence online. Leave a few buisness cards in notice boards in villages and schools.
