MIG or TIG? Before and after photos would have been interesting.

It's the way of business isn't it; sole trader vet sells up to a company, gets money and continued employment, without worries of running practice or employing staff but the net result to the customer is increased costs as the company has to pay his wages and a return to shareholders. Our excellent vet ,who helped us with three consecutive dogs, did just this for the last 20 years and finally retired a year ago. Luckily we know a new vet that has just started a practice, he seems very good and old school. His set up costs are frightening though, the scanners and other fittings cost would have bought two new forwarders and a harvester.

Do you mean the drum has sheared from the shaft? I don't know how it was fixed but husky drums were brazed to the drive.

They fall over each other and the tiny rootball of some ends jacked up in the air, I wouldn't have thought the roots could be so rotten and support any leaves

Yes I am aggrieved but the other driver claimed he was indicating right, had not reversed prior to turning and my wife passed him without indication. His word against her's despite overtaking on a residential road is a bit strange, especially by a little old lady. The thing is insurers are just glorified bookies and fairness is not part of their remit. False insurance claims put up all our premiums but fighting them in court is too expensive, hence knock for knock.

What was the actual charge and why were you on the pavement, many people on my street park on the pavement/foot way/sidewalk so drive on it to get there.

Similar recently happened to my wife, I have fitted a basic nexrbase after the horse has bolted. She was driving along a residential road, a transit van was reversing, she indicated and started passing when it swung right into her. A plumber looking for a house had overshot the driveway, reversed and turned in without checking rear view or indication. 50:50 decision by insurance companies meant a £1300 write off payout for her followed by 90% increase in premium for both our cars despite protected no claims bonus. Kicker is transit drive claiming several thousand quid damages to his power steering via a no win no fee lawyer despite only a marked bumper.

Surge in sales of used double cabs after Xmas?
openspaceman replied to richy_B's topic in Arb-Trucks
My thought is it benefits any self employed or small business owner who is VAT registered. Many double cabs with full hard top and no tow hitch used as big estate cars round here. -
It looks like mechanical damage and also the shape, or lack, of buttress suggests the ground has been made up, so it possibly occurred at the same time.

presumably one needs a prescription for one, I know one older man who has one for wasp stings and a girl who has one for a nut allergy. What's the shelf life of an epi pen?

In the meanwhile; small Riko A frame pto winches had both a friction brake and a crude ratchet sprag clutch which applied directly to "teeth" cut into one side of the cable drum. I never liked it because if you winched in so far that the hook touched the fairlead when you left the pawl down inadvertently everything jammed up. You could try something like this spring loaded one way wire rope clutch to hold tension, it is a beefy mechanical prussic like device.

I used to have an Hinowa manual with track mot0r diagrams, the final drive were an italian firm with a name like Bernouli but... I found this (forgive the chinglish): The swash plate motor and axial pistons circled blue provide the rotational power. The disc brake is applied by the springs and released when pressure is sent to the motor , a shuttle valve then allows pressure from either the forward or reverse lines to operate the brake piston to release the brake via a shuttle valve. The shuttle moves from the pressure side to block off the line to the other side.
-
I don't have a lot of experience of the guts of track motors but the motor is often a swash plate piston motor driving through a set of planetary gears for the big reduction ratio. Once pressure is removed a spring loaded transmission brake is applied to the motor shaft, often a band brake.

Why not? Hydraulic motors are torquey even the gear motors. What's the pull and can you get a photo of the face plate for the specification? The

There will always be creep as some oil from the high pressure side seeps past the spool valve or to that drain line on the motor. On track motors a brake is applied if there is no pressure being sent to the motor. If it is leaking past the spool valve you could fit a check valve in the supply to the winch.

The petrol fumes kill them without need for fire.

Luckily I have not been stung by hornets, I don't remember them in the garden before ten years ago and never saw them as a child. I got stung a few times last year by wasps when the dogs and I blundered into a ground nest in bracken, this summer we only had the occasional visit while in the garden despite an active nest in the roof thirty feet away.

How is this field maple still alive?
openspaceman replied to spandit's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
It may shoot from below the ring barked bit and in a plantation root grafts can keep the tree alive until wound wood bridge the gap. I have not done it but people ave grafted bark from above to bridge the gap. -

Bark cambium/phloem feeds the root, the sapwood supplies water to the foliage so when it is rigng barked it is the root that dies -
I do like those olives stuffed with anchovies, it has just reminded me I have a few left in the fridge. Nope they got eaten, it's the ones stuffed with Jalapeno that's left, just as good.

An this is the nub, old money has the history of managing inheritance. As @doobin says agricultural property exemption has only been there about 30 years and the result is farm properties have attracted outside investment , This is a trend as the wealthy look to conserve their wealth and get a return, often only in increased capital valuation, as was pointed out earlier farming profits are not a good return for the asset. We saw how the subsidised selling of social housing did not lead to much higher house ownership but did increase the revenue and profits of financial services, those benefiting from this windfall have meant an increased demand fro property in general, not excluding increased population, and forced rents up.

I had that happen with my long reach stihl, I am pretty certain it was because of my bashing it up against stems that were too thick for it.
