just been clearing up and doing some little jobs around a place today, then started decorating the dinning room, and spent a couple of hours on the phone to some friends I haven't been able to visit this Crimbo. Will spend any spare time over Christmas doing some jobs on the bike and I have a machine to build, so need to get it drawn up.

If it's any use to you and I don't know if it was just because its a new store but I just opened an account at Howdens joinery and got quite a nice set of Irwin Marples chisels in a case free.

Well it was listed before Husqvarna 550 xp Chainsaw Not 346xp

Jees at £120 for a turkey i'm glad I hate the stuff. Local free range chicken for us this year, we normally do a few other meats but haven't got so many people around this year.

A standard size builders bag holds about .66c/mtr so 1.5 builders bags to a 1c/mtr bag. Either way it's madly cheap and a shame its north west, I wouldn't bother picking an axe up at that price. But I would imagine thats a typo or scam.

I am running 2+ on my 130 and haven't touched the prop, it has been like that for 2 years now without trouble, although a 110 would give a steeper angle.

An unhealthy eating tax on takeaways ? They can also have a clear their crap from the side of the road tax -
Free to good home I have a pair of Bearmach HD 2"+ rear 110/130 springs. Now the story behind them is I bought them and they didn't fit, but that may be due to it being a new galv chassis and everything being very tight, the people I bought them from didn't want the hassle of collecting them so refunded me and said do what I like with them.. If anyone wants to try them you are free to come and collect them, sorry they are far too heavy to want to post, Maybe if they did fit a small donation to the childrens trust or little havens childrens hospice would be nice, and if they don't you have some quality scrap

with that budget I would have a 130 and don't have the rear body overhang, rather than a 110 with the overhang, it will tow so much sweeter, a 300tdi with a full width intercooler and VR Turbo and pump mods, a galv chassis, hydraulic winch, galv bulkhead, 265 BFG mud's, HD rear suspension, rebuild doors and overhaul all the major parts.

That looks totaly ridiculous imo

The first ifor tippers used to run their power straight from the tow vehicle, one of the reasons they stopped doing it that way was you need some pretty substantial cables to run all the distance up to the battery of a truck and not melt them. If it was mine I would buy a new battery and also wire a fused auxiliary socket to the back of the truck and then wire a plug to the battery, we use ours endlessly some days and have no trouble at all. If you remove the battery good quality battery cables and high amp Anderson won't be very cheap anyway, and you will be stuck with using the trailer with one truck.

you beat me to it

The main reason I use a fuel card is one receipt every 2 weeks makes it easier for the book work.
-
Best way for road diesel I have found is on a fuelcard, I pay about 2ppl less than pump, we now use a firm called BWOC, and get a text friday night with next weeks prices. I wouldn't want to store road derv through fear of it getting stolen just to save 4ppl over pump price

Ask Dean he may know why

Try eating sunflower seeds an hour or so before you go to bed, as others have said, lay off caffeine from the early evening. I have some pretty graphic dreams if I watch films involving water, have concluded that it's linked to me nearly drowning a couple of times when I was a young, it's always the same dream and I normally always wake up just before the inevitable end. Never again will I watch titanic

service metals will probably be your best bet

Long time ago now Jon, I think it was about a 16 ton payload but was a 6x4 flatbed. Nice lorry but the Detroit's were supposed to be juicy
-
Some of the TM's had a Detroit engine. I nearly bought a 6 wheeler TM years ago but the Detroit turned me away.
-
That was my thought aswell We regularly do work on new houses where the client hasn't moved in yet, and just meet them on site.
-
Whatever or whoever it was it was good to have this pointed out in case anyone else falls for a similar scam.

I like stuff like that, we are just a grain of sand. I have always liked this one
-
6.3m reach and can lift just over half a ton at that. It's powered by a 6hp honda, would be too slow for general arb work but its good for dragging and lifting big sticks.
-
If I was a copper I would love to put that over a weigh bridge !!. A Feel free Forklift has a weigh checker fitted and it will be close but not close enough Actually the truck is light on that one, it can take 2 pallets Not worth the fine or the hastle
-
It can be done but keeping the nose weight legal can be tricky, depends on the type of crane you want and how much you want to lift at what reach. The best way to fit them and keep the weight right is fit it at the front of the bed, not on the drawbar. triaxle trailers can make it easier. On this one the crane weighs 600kg with the engine and strengthening, but it has to be unfolded out across the length of the bed when empty to make it legal, wouldn't be without it now though.
