fanbelt, leading to flat battery, near cooked engine, me having to dig chip because tipper is electric! went to buy new belt, reversed over a wirebrush in landycentre carpark and got a flat tyre on the chipper! now i have to change them both in the dark/rain watching out for werewolves cos its full moon!

yep, cheap n nasty. springs are rubbish, pulleys stick, small spring snags and 'doing' its gone! oh and ratchet mechanism packed up ages ago. perfect for holding bt wires out of the way though

a maillon? and just keep a small spanner next to it.

mine has a sticker saying change blades and grease nips/sliders every 20hrs, dead easy to do, good chance to clear out all the chip/twigs that get clogged by the right hand side of the roller box. don't forget the grease nips on the hitch too. i get all my genuine kubota filters posted from a place in essex (engine power ltd or something?) very reasonable too.

used to use a meths burner (army type) that folded down pretty small and light, then used a petrol burning stove, now we just rely of customers taking pity on us because we look scruffy and cold, even had customers neighbours bring us drinks/food:thumbup: can't beat hot soup for reviving you on a cold wet windy day -

why do anything yourself when you can pay others to do it?

another flat tyre, and the landy spat its power steering fluid out and converted itself to heavy manual steering.

i've got some leaves for you rob, had to freeclimb to get some good ones from the top (between you and me i wasn't even wearing a helmet with chinstrap!) then consigned them to the cab of the landy so fingers crossed they ....ok they havn't a chance of surviving till sunday haha, but you can look for them if you sign a disclaimer saying you went in there at your own peril. many apologies, Ed.
-

best holiday of my life... flew to sanfrancisco, had a few days there then hired a motorhome (RV) for three weeks, drive where you want, stop where you want, campsites are cheap, people are friendly and i'll do it again one day. oh and fuel is virtually free compared with uk!
