Ok I'll let it drop.............#unconvinced
-
Well yes it looks that way but this elephatine trunk (in the few I saw in london) is standard in these, and does the regrowth look like.. well regrowth to you?

I'm being a bit mischievous 'cos it's on another thread. (hama's pollard thread) I think it's an Oriental plane but I am not sure it's ever been pollarded.

Ok Rob whaddaya reckon?

Pollards, the forgotten art-discussion
Le Sanglier replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Obviously I'm wrong, but isn't that the usual growth for an Oriental Plane? -
Yes the rollers have bearings, as for the adjustment it's a rather rudimentary affair involving a welded on nut and a bolt to adjust. Not sure exactly I'll get a pic for you Thursday when we re-start. Will it last? time will tell, repair should be easy enough, and at 3 grand I won't lose the farm if it's a lemon. As I said, a Boxer would have been my preference;

You see a post like that and realise there is absolutely nothing to add. Very nicely put:thumbup:
-
Didn't you say the same thing two weeks ago?
-
Yep, Me too Put your climbing line in underneath if you're a bit nervous.

It's the controversial posters who push the envelope a bit who pull me (and others I"m sure) in. It can't all be fluffy bunny stuff surely?

Covering my back when customers don't pay/cancel work....
Le Sanglier replied to Pete Hart's topic in Business Management
Trying to think of something clever to add but no, all totally correct Rupe. -
Good shout Same happened to me but I was lucky, just cost me the pocket, turned the anvil changed the bearings while we were there. Blades had been in for ages 'cos they had stayed sharp.

Bit cold in the garage atm! The engineer is back next thursday, start painting the weekend after.
-
Ha ha, don't agree totally but you make a very good point.
-
All a bit mischievous imo.

God I love those machines!

Lifting lombardys:confused1: right up there with thinning them. Ridiculous! If I'm be arsey, so be it.
-
I am aware of that Tony. Would you advise the OP to do it now then?
-
Fair enough. saps rising here.
-
Pete I don't want a row but killing them..... you're 'avin a larf. They'll react well to a good hiding. Not every one will agree but Lombardys are best topped..... and hard. They'll come back strong. One problem is that the roots can sucker after topping causing a mini forest in the adjacent gardens.

Imho wait until the walnut is in leaf otherwise it'll bleed like a stuck pig.
-
Thinning Lombardy Pops! anyone ever done that?
-
Are they lombardys?
-
Just ordinary bright steel plate around 8 mm, the rods 20 or 25 mm dia. All the profiles are laser cut on site, you get the profiles, gas struts, bushes, engine, pump levers etc. I looked at buying a S/H boxer but they simply weren't available.

3000 of the Queen's finest will get what I got. I'll be honest you really have to know a bit about fabrication/welding or know someone who does. (as i did!) Mine was the first machine and the putting together has not been without problems, the plans were sketchy and they don't have a fluent English speaker. Give it a couple of weeks and I'll have it going and will post photos and a review. Compact loaders are the way forward I reckon. Mick
