    I find the above hard to believe I have a 51plate cabstar 30k on it when I got it 6 years ago got 63k on now pulls Ifor tipper about loaded and well loaded it had been looked after before I got it and looked after since apart from servicing (on a regular basis ie every 5-6k) its cost me 4 tyres 1 exhaust, 1 starter motor,1 battery and 2 front shockers over 6 years ,just been to Cardiff to collect a dumper in it on sat 496mls round trip 65-70mph worked out 33.8 to the gallon, so have i a shed load of money to spend on mine in the future,?.

    Yes and foggy had one in bsb and was on one when he had his epic battle with hislop onboard the 588 Norton on the isle of man in 1990, I just wish I could get Ben to part with his but its like every thing else he has you ask , and its I will get round to it, but he never will.

    Hi yes I think its correct title would be Yamaha fzr 750r exup owo1 I am sure its on a G plate so that would be 89/90 so that should be correct as I think they first appeared about 88 ?.
  7. spuddog0507
    It snapped a con rod big hole in engine block, but as I said Ben is Ben he can't leave any thing as standard every thing he gets he has to do improvements to it,but never gets owt sorted properly ,my mate can do that, his garage (30x60 ft farm building) is full of unfinished projects or things he has f----d up, the one project I wouldn't mind is a mid/late 80s Yamaha 750 exup with about 3000mls on it he's said he was going to get it doing 180-190 mph I don't think the factory race bikes did that ?,its all in a box in about a thousand pieces.

    It may be a returned uigate milk float with a chip box on and a new shinny tow bar .!.

    Good things and bad things about this, a guy I shoot with got a new ranger 65 plate (sure he said it was about 210bhp as standard ? Tell me if I am wrong ) after about 4 months Ben being ben had it re mapped to about 255bhp 6 WK later it through a con rod nearly destroyed the engine totally took it back to ford, they new what had been done and when so they said the warranty was void, £5400 for repair all to get a extra 5 mpg , he wasn't right happy when I said £5400 would buy an awful lot of diesel.

  11. spuddog0507
    Yes check by all means and changing it would not hurt: many Years ago a old bloke I worked with quoted to me one day,,oil is cheap mechanical parts aren't.
  12. spuddog0507

    Hi take it off if it has a number on it ? Ring whitehouse products (big hydraulic company at port Glasgow )if no number to cross reference, email a photo with dimensions on I am sure they will sort it out for you and they arnt dear either.

    ChasW originally says 30 cube from a clear fell, fresh felled birch is 1.07 cube per tonne stacked in the round, your cube is cut n split logs which 50% of is fresh air so your timber is costing £50 tonne delivered in which you then cut n split which is where you get your £25 cube delivered big difference between a cube of timber stacked at roadside in lengths in a forest to a cube of 10" split logs either in my yard or yours.
  15. spuddog0507
    AND WHAT ? £30 a cube or tonne is very very cheap to hardwood delivered in we currently getting £32.50 for softwood chip roadside.! What's the difference on a MTR cube & a tonne of same said birch ?
  16. spuddog0507
    £30 a tonne delivered for processor sized logs ,em, I was getting £35 a tonne for larch at roadside 2 yr ago ,£30 a tonne delivered I think you better get me a couple hundred tonne please.
  17. spuddog0507
    Hi, I take it the 80-100 quid is for cut split seasoned logs ready to burn ? Roadside price from £37-47 per tonne depending on quality .

    May be gob to small and hinge a little on the big side one thing I learnt many years ago off a old guy was 1 fifth gob cut 1 tenth hinge,works fine for me but back to the cut in question defiantly should of been a dog tooth .

    Sad case , had a work college on the dury for the case , haven't got the full SP yet.

    I totally agree with the above the trailer is there to be used if you put stock board in with rocks like that you will proberbly create more of a problem , steel is cheap for what it goes through and lasts along time.

    Sorry about this but you asked, as said before groundie no helmet ear protection or gloves 4/5 people including guy holding rope not a helmet in sight(may have been one on ground near guy with rope) you say it was on a building site? Who was running the job ? As there is something else that stands out to me besides helmets gloves and ear protection there is no hi viz vestsor jackets on site! The guy on the rope has a white husky t shirt on that's cool but not worth a sh t if he gets hit, you need to pay not a bit but a lot more attention to your guys ppe helmets gloves ear muffs and hi viz are not expensive and its up to you to make sure it is worn, if I catch my lads with out it I tell them get it on and keep it on till you leave site I give em all 3 verbal then tell em if you don't want to wear ppe look for another job.
