That's based on a tube, an incomplete periphery will rupture earlier

Not to mention getting a bit of barbed wire embedded in shin

It doesn't happen though, just look at all those tree guards embedded in plantings since the 80s and have you tried extracting an ecoplug? A hatchet cut every 6" and dose of 50% solution glyphosate in oil with do much the same. If you must drill holes roundup and a clay plug is cheaper.

I doubt he is wrong but that is not a problem we had, I replaced an axle on a Greenmech when the bearing collapse and sent a wheel down the M25 in rush hour. These axles tend to be standard Avonride and even if not one will be available to fit. Last one was a 1500kg one for a bowser and that cost £264+Vat in March 16 cw carriage and that was from a trailer manufacturer in Cheshire

Ventilation keeps mould down. It's warm and high humidity where it causes a problem. We had a customer took a load of logs out of the kiln part cycle and loaded the pick up with them still warm. By morning the load was covered with a grey-green velvet fur.

So the axle has bent??

Neither is a necklace of plastic as the stem decomposes

It looks like made up ground and mechanical damage from earth moving machinery many years ago

Good , what did you find?

Those first ones are only supposed to be summer visitors in the Scilly isles and only passing through on the south coast in summer so were they in England? I'll pass on the last picture

Yes agreed, my freebe einhell is still running fine, it isn't as good as the Husqvarna 545 I am provided with as a ground saw but it's not a lot slower and revs less. Worst feature is that the oil runs out before the fuel. I think I saw the same model rebadges in Costco for less than 70 quid.

I cannot offer much help as we had tr6s and they had tandem pumps, one for each track and one also doubled up for the feed rollers IIRC. It's been 18 months since I had anything to do with them but from the manual it looks like a 2P series pump with a 4 bolt flange and a tapered drive complete with an outrigger bearing to take the radial thrust from the drive belt. It will have the spec stamped into the aluminium. In fact as these gear pumps are all copies of the original Dowty pump once you know the series 1p 2p 3p you can measure the length of the aluminium body to get the capacity, then all you need is the type of ports and the direction of rotation.. If it's sucking air I'd check the outrigger bearing for play. My guess would be this: https://www.mikrospin.co.uk/gear-pumps/group-2-gear-pumps-motors/flanged-body/galtech-2s-a-11-10-n.p.aspx I have not used this firm as I normally used whitehouse or hydraulic equipment supermarkets Ours had only recently come out of warranty when I was put out to grass so although pumps were replaced under warranty I hadn't got around to needing any but would have bought them by mail order as we always had spare chippers so a day or two didn't matter. I do have the OEM makers for filters and the hopper gas strut if that is common with the st6.

Cryptomeria japonica?

I just did this at home, Openreach wanted a minimum of £140 and up to £250 to disconnect and reconnect when I had the windows replaced so I did it myself, less than 5 minutes each time. I still have some jellies left over from 87 when we were given them by an telephone engineer after I broke the wire going to a peer working for the admiralty. The connection at the pole was then two jellies and a spiral lashing so an easy job to lay the line on the floor first. As to penalty, what can they do, it's a civil matter and they would need to prove a loss. IIRC there's 70V applied to the line if it rings but only a small voltage normally. In the days before internet fax machines were a bit sensitive to polarity changes if the wires got swapped.

It's clinker, the fire has got hot enough to fuse the ash. I've never experienced it other than with coal where it blocks the grate and stops air getting through. It is worse with fuels with high ash, like straw or willow SRC.

I suspect it's a deposit of molten fly ash. Molten potash forms a euctectic mixture with silica and glass is largely silica so it fuses into the glass. You said yours was a ceramic which may be different from glass.

During a faculty dinner at the university of West London's the Professor said experiments with ground penetrating radar were showing up annual rings when used to detect decay. From the little I understood the science was in the algorithm that processed the return signal rather than it being a breakthrough.

Sounds like an ideal case for a self gripping puller based around a two spring loaded quadrants, like two giant opposed STEIN adjustable rope grabs. Drop them over the post and lower till the cams are apart, then lift so they self grip, pull the post. To eject crowd forward and lower simultaneously.

This sort of thing is why I'm not a fan of overrun brakes. It's another of those anomalies along with no MOTs for trailers and youngsters driving big tractor and trailer combos that seems to exist because the relatively few numbers mean the contribution to accident statistics is low. I would like to see heavier commercial trailers with proper proportional control from the service brake and sensed ABS but suspect the expense would outweigh the advantage.

But Bob we've only had a couple of inches of snow, none of the main roads had snow cover for more than 5 hours and even those roads not gritted had only a hard pack and no drifting which, because there were few out and about, meant I did not get stuck in jams because some numpty had gone 9in a ditch. 2010 was worse IMO. Now a thaw has set in even our little road is clear but it could get exciting tonight if it freezes to black ice.

Is this just the exhaust, wiring will only be an issue if there is no roof to splice new bits in.

Are all the clutch springs present?

What makes you say mine failed with a f* tyre, indeed which one of mine are you referring to? All my cars passed their last MOT although the "sports" car broke down for the first time ever on the way home when the posh electronic fuel pump broke, so I put the original one with contacts back in.

So there'l be no PG9 for private vehicles slapped on them? Mind I find it quite strange that my "sports" car will no longer need an MOT.

...and alder buckthorn for the fuses apparently. Possibly why the army decided on Aldershot
