  1. When my kids were little I stuck luminous stars and planets on the ceiling, if it was a dull day I would use a remote thyristor flash from a 35mm camera to charge them instantly
  2. How has it progressed in the last 4 years? A full height tree with targets
  3. Hell I'm not that far gone yet!
  4. How I wish I could share a shower with a girlfriend again ?
  5. Yes it's not an imminent hazard and there are plenty enough arb firms around Elmbridge to give competitive quotes, I was working there last week in the rain.
  6. I actually agree with ALL your points
  7. Yes and a big, vigorous tree for an urban street plus it's turkey oak which always militates against retention in my book. The disease issue is a try on.
  8. Only some and how do you define basically good? Looking from the outside it seems there has been little attempt to assimilate "britishness" and the youths involved see themselves as colonising a territory and needing to displace the natives to do so, cowboys and indians.
  9. So two of them will potentially be out very soon?
  10. I get the impression the evidence wasn't good enough to prosecute or identify the whole mob involved. If the prosecution took 2 years were the 3 on remand all that time?
  11. About 150Hft then, 5.5m3, what's the firewood price by you?
  12. We have a few sites where it grows wild, a notable one being the Sheepleas above West Horsley, normally a good display at this time of year.
  13. If anyone buys it I still have the remains of one I cannibalised to repair a mate's tough some of the plastic parts got eaten by rodents.
  14. If you are impatient and the parts not valuable brick acid is fast. I recently used it to clean the rust off a Fuso canter fuel tank as it also acted as a flux for the solder I used to repair numerous pin prick rust holes. Also sulphamic acid found in descalers , the one I tried left a varnish like surface that did not rust much after.
  15. Is the top baffle in place? it does need to be there and a good fit so the offgas is forced forward to meet the incoming air, else the two don't meet before the temperature drops and they pass unreacted up the chimney. I have a damaged jotul 602 which I have been contemplating repairing with vermiculite fibreboard for the baffles to up the firebox temperature a bit but have been so pleased with my morso 11 I haven’t bothered and have just put the jotul up for sale for spares.
  16. Probably as I doubt there was much change between the 300d series and the cargo. The six cylinder tractor engines changed with the TW engines in the ford 8100 I think.
  17. No just put a new driven plate in you should be able to take the top cover off the gearbox and see if the first motion shaft is turning
  18. At the moment I do a couple of days a month brash dragging and bring some of the arisings home in the back of the Vitara but that may dry up. one of the people on here has been good enough to let me cut some from his heap also. I was more thinking of when I get too decrepit to cut and split them but thanks for the offer.
  19. If you're lucky the centre will have ripped out of the driven plate.
  20. I see I had replied much earlier in this thread and forgotten about it. Anyway my experience of tractors parked up to a long while is that the clutch sticks to the flywheel and won't release so if there's grinding I'd suspect the gearbox.
  21. Yes I will just rely on gas if I cannot manage to cut and split enough in my dotage, it's uneconomic for me to buy logs at local prices.
  22. Does the PTO still drive with your foot on the clutch? The County is IPTO and I hadn't considered that.
  23. Too late to use a verynear caliper (sic) on the width of both bearings I suppose?
  24. Wasn't that the 300D engine, basically a less well balanced ford 2714E industrial engine which was fitted in the County 1004 and 1124. if so the County clutch should fit.
  25. I thought it would make an interesting mobile hanging from the workshop ceiling in the same arrangement as on the grass.
