    What volumes? How much two stroke per litre? Dave

    I'm sure I've seen that on a farming forum as being from uk or Ireland. Dave

    Quite common in td5 engines, more from cracked injector seats in head. They don't run on............just destroy themselves due to lack of lubrication. Dave

    Injector stuck open? Fuel dribbling into cylinder and passing rings? Agree also pump. Dave

    Over to latest Tapatalk for android app would be great. Thanks, Dave

    Says opposite. Logs are forestry. 'In 1986, a Judge found that converting trees to hewn poles or logs was “forestry”, but that planning, shaping or sawing logs into specified dimensions was “carpentry”.' Dave

    If you were just processing your own wood from the site I think you'd be good. Clearly 1 acre doesn't need a 3 bay shed etc. Bringing wood into process/store isn't forestry, it's classed as industrial. Plonking an industrial unit in a wood is probably how the council see it. You've come a long way in the fight but it looks stacked against you. Dave

    Wet. Ground can't take much more. Neither can I. Dave

    An old hub for use with brake shoes best but you're right it's a disc. Useful just to sit copper in while I get it up to cherry red. Like the horse Mat! Dave

    Heard there's a Leyland 270 2wd, starts and runs well all for £1700 near Banbury. Off a farm. Dave

    A rose tinted with eau de Michelin! !

    Every year I have great intentions which end up as garage flowers and chocolates. This year I'm bucking the trend and making a copper rose. Got some sheet copper from a Newark brewery which was taken down in the 60's and I'm cutting, marking and annealing it before shaping it into a rose bud. Come on guys, make something for the missus this Valentine's, you've still got time! Dave

    Ford 4000 from 1973. Cost £1800. Spent £550 on parts and put in about 40 hrs labour. Splits logs Tows trailer Lifts logs Works for me. Dave

    I should learn. Ford 4000.... first the new radiator didn't fit, then the new battery tray. I just needed quick fixes and instead wasted time fettling them to fit. I did email with photos but they acknowledged email with out addressing issues. Maybe I expect too much from a parts supplier. Who do you use? Dave
  15. ballibeg
    Now why didn't I think of that before. Brilliant. Dave

    Woodwarm also excellent. A good stove will cost more but it'll seal well and be efficient so gets through less logs. Dave

    Took me a while not be embarrassed asking for 95 a bag but I realise now it's worth it. Dave

    Lots of softwood around going out for £65 a dumpy bag (0.7m3). Not much hardwood in the plantation covered west so it's hardwood a premium product and I'm priced the same as my competition but mine seasoned for 2 years not one. Dave
  19. ballibeg
    I've gone for 0.75m3. Old tractor lifts then no bother from trailer to stack 2 up. I fill then two at a time from where I'm splitting then stack. Look good size for customers and selling for £95 + vat. Dave

    You'll be grand! Have a good tinker with the bike then get on it! I recommend padded bib shorts for comfort and don't forget to cream up to avoid chafing. 60 a nice doable challenge. Enjoy! Dave

    .....for firewood. I'm skilled enough to know how little I know. Hence I need help on the bigger and problematic trees I'm felling. I've two large dead uns, a larch and a Douglas fir. My arborist friend said with fierceness, 'you cannae burn those....you just cannae. The woods too good.' I don't mill. I can't afford to invest in a mill. I can't afford to store the planks under cover and I can't market them. Nothing's too good for firewood! Dave

    I'd go cable over wireless any day, faster, and more reliable. Had digger to run power line in so shielded armoured network cable joined it! I considered cat6 but read lots like this http://www.cabling4less.co.uk/downloads/CAT_Cable.html and rejected it. Dave

    85m long buried 1m underground! Dave

    Spent my morning wiring a cat5e cable into my network. Cursing is not the word! It's an armoured cable only needing two male rj45 connectors to bring broadband to the new shed. What a fiddle! First the armour springs open, then you have to cut the pairs to size, untwist then the insert them into a tiny connector before crimping. Big hands and small wires don't mix. Thankfully the little access point WiFi device works a treat so I can be happy the shed is now 'connected'! Back to big things, Dave

    Good to know. Thanks! Dave
