  1. Yeah arbtalk is great for picking the brains of someone with as much knowledge as jase ?. Not met jase but think I saw Pete b at the black isle show 2018?
  2. Lookin good Reg. Brilliant engine too ?.
  3. That's just up the road from me! When I told the wife I'd found her a new car she was not impressed ?.
  4. Thanks Jase, fingers crossed its the pressure switch, not got time for an engine rebuild at the moment ?.
  5. Thanks for the replies. I changed the oil recently and its at the correct level. To check the actual oil pressure am I right in thinking I should fit a gauge in place of the pressure switch? If the pressure is low fit a new pump?
  6. When my safetrac is warmed up it cuts out when at idle, the display says low oil pressure! Could this be caused by a faulty oil pressure switch? Or worn oil pump? Or something else? What should I do ? Its the Isuzu engine.
  7. Nice one Ratman ?
  8. I'm in Scotland so most people will still be drunk then ?
  9. Cheers Ratman I will give them a call, hopefully they will be open before the 7th.
  10. My Gardener Denver 135 mewp developed a fault on site, it would only boom up and tele in so I had to turn the emergency key inside the cabinet to get it down. Now the fault lamp on the base is lit and boom up and tele out don't work. Has anyone got any advice? Is there any way to reset the fault code?
  11. Nice one thanks ?

    Which Welder

    I found the gasless migs hard to weld thin steel, just kept blowing holes in the metal! So if you plan to weld car bodywork or similar I would get a gas mig.
  13. The bottom roller on my safetrack has stopped turning but when the machine is turned off it can be turned by hand. I'm guessing this means the splines in the roller have worn away? What's the fix? Complete new roller? Tia.
  14. Check out the chainsaw guys videos on you tube, I saw one recently where he was welding damaged crank cases and re drilling and tapping.
  15. I think the tops of mature spruce have too big a gap between the branches to make a nice looking xmas tree. Imo it will look shit! Cheap tho ??

    Woodcock .

    Still plenty of woodcock in Argyll. Seems a shame to shoot them after they have travelled all the way from Russia though.

    Woodcock .

    They usually arrive here at the first full moon of November. But they were here at the end of october!
  18. Just out of interest, why travel all the way from Dorset to Aviemore for seed?
  19. Greenmech 1928 would be my choice.
  20. Transit size but with the same engine we get in the old 7.5 ton daf lorry ?. Love it.

    More Rigging

    Nice slick work as usual Reg. Do you ever get rigging rope damage when using rings for big stem pieces? With the rope running between the stem and the ring.
  23. Is no one using van based mewps (cherry pickers) for tree work?
  24. Who would you recommend for insuring a 5 ton sprinter mewp that is registered as plant? Roughly how much would it cost? Thanks.uu
