  1. There's some info on it on the paving expert site, for a proper job it's quite a bit of work Paving Expert - AJ McCormack and Son - Reinforced Grass Paving If it's not going to be used heavily, I would maybe try the thin mesh that you can roll out onto the grass.
  2. Spotted one on ebay that would just fit, not got a fan but that could be added, just the radiator on it's own would help though surely? Black Universal Aluminium 13 Row Oil Cooler 250mm x 175mm x 32mm AN-10 Thread | eBay
  3. Saw this on local gumtree, Husqvarna 346xp for £600, christ! https://www.gumtree.com/p/power-saws/husqvarna-346xp-professional-petrol-chain-saw/1193534293
  4. Thanks, is an infrared thermometer the best thing for the job? Should've bought one when I saw them in Lidl a while back!!!
  5. Yes I had been looking and wondering if an engine oil cooler would do, there's some lovely cheap ones on ebay, but they all seem to be too long to fit I don't know how hot is too hot, I've adapted the machine to run a log splitter, and after about half an hour of use the flat face quick release couplings were too hot to hold! I don't want to boil the system!
  6. Thanks, it's ok the machine has electrics so 12v fan would work
  7. Hi, I'm looking for any suggestions for a small hydraulic oil cooler, new or used. I've got a hydraulic track barrow that I'm running an extra service off, but feel it needs an oil cooler. Later models of the machine are fitted with a small hydraulic oil cooler (with fan) by moving the battery to a new location, which seems the best place for it. The space for it to fit in is a max of 280mm tall and 210mm wide. So I'm wondering if there's any machines like mini/micro diggers, chippers etc that I might get 2nd hand parts for, with a similar sized radiator and fan?
  8. [ame] [/ame] Nice old bits of machinery in this video, never seen a log splitter like that before. Hope everyone went home with all their fingers and toes!
  9. Surely a bog standard flue damper would do the job? Something like: 150mmø Stovax Cast Iron Flue Damper | eBay Hunter Stoves 6" Cast Iron Flue Damper | eBay ?
  10. Sounds bliss, but do the shops accept Scottish banknotes?
  11. Surprised no one has said - fell the tree!
  12. Tourist traps! In saying that, the Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition* is worth a look, very interesting, I was doing a job for the owner so he let us in *not to be confused with anywhere with a similar name Rival Loch Ness Monster centres resolve name row - BBC News :laugh1:
  13. Tell them they can stay in the caravan in my garden for 2 weeks in exchange for an Easy lift Harness All of the above available here! There's defiantly some culture growing in the caravan
  14. Just got a new welder the other week, a Parweld inverter, £200, what a step up from my old buzzbox!! XTS 162 MMA Inverter - Parweld A real joy to use
  15. Interesting thread. I don't like to stop for long for lunch and usually round off the bill down to allow for a quick sarnie and cuppa. I remember one woman who kept bringing cups of tea, which was very nice, but each stop for tea would involve her nattering for 45mins (no joke!). I think one tea break was well over an hour Now I like a blether, but after spending half the day not actually working you feel like you can't charge for a full day, so I knocked a wee bit off, and she was delighted!
  16. If you're stuck the filling station in Muir of Ord has a red diesel pump
  17. The large domed washer on the far left in the photo should also be used with the blade
  18. The "deposit" isn't actually a deposit, it's the fee for using shiply, they keep it either way.
  19. They are a really good saw, wouldn't sell mine no matter what you offered. I can't imagine many come up for sale, why would you, unless it was knackered or nicked? Have you tried asking at Macgregor's in Inverness? Just incase they know of any customers who might sell
  20. Have never used one but seen Kellfri make them, https://www.kellfri.co.uk/forest-firewood/forestry-equipment Dunno if any good or not!
  21. The real problem is the landlord ditched going to a wedding with his wife so he could fell this tree.....

    I remember seeing this in the news a couple years ago, it was on the news again today Looks cool F1 engineer makes 'first flat-pack truck' - BBC News OX Global Vehicle Trust • All terrain mobility for all I want one! [ame] [/ame]
  23. But if you had gone to the wedding with a pocket full of business cards think of all the work you could've got!
  24. Found this on youtube, wow, what a beast [ame] [/ame]
