Thanks for all your input, let's see if his offer is accepted! We have a very old JCB so that should help digging it out, how would you get rid of the cuttings? No hurry for a nice lawn as the rest of the lawn is about 18" high

My son is looking at a house that has a large patch 20ft diameter of Bamboo in the middle of a lawn, its about 12-15ft height from memory. So how do we remove it? And a small patch of Nettles

We have a very tatty looking but structurally sound 1968 Unimog 404. Its Ex German Military Registered as an Historic vehicle and used a a toy not working. It's fitted with two Hitches that I am not familiar with. One on the front one on the rear, I am assuming this is all ok and legal as I see other vehicles with them, it just seems to be a big dangerous lump sticking out of the front and rear, I just want to be armed incase a police man chooses to stop us Also what are the rules on tyres that protrude the body work? We are about to fit smaller tyres that won't stick out but I just wondered? IMG_0890.HEIC

Thanks

Tyre fitting is one of the many jobs that look easy until you have a go. I am old enough to leave it to a professional.

They have been cheapest for me but someone calling me tomorrow too.

Just been recommended this place, very helpful and competitive pricing too, just need to find one more wheel! Do you think any one would want the old style cookie cutter wheels? We have two on the front and normal steels on the rear. Specialty Tyre Store WWW.BIGTYRES.CO.UK Buy specialty tyres, tubes & wheels online from Big Tyres.

The brake hoses are well past it, I have seen a kit of hoses for £100ish but local factors are about £10 each but we have as yet only identified one the rear Torque tube hose is a Porsche 911! Any one know the part numbers? We have a manual but sadly no parts book. Also any leads on a carb rebuild kit?

Its a 1968 404 2.2 Petrol. Have been looking at these 10.5-20 Alliance 317 Industrial Tyre (12PLY) 131G TL - TerrainTyres WWW.TERRAINTYRES.CO.UK 10.5-20 Alliance 317 agro-industrial tyre Speed rating is G 56MPH which even down hill I don't think it would achieve The rims are not split, front are Pizza cutters no size stamped on that we can see but look to be 9" wide? rears are 20 x 9 as its stamped on them Current tyres are 16/70-20 MPT

One good idea I have seen was post sunk in to the ground with a tow hitch bolted and welded to it. The trailer was hitched to this post and a hitch lock over it all. I thought it was a good idea?

Its under 3.5T and not a HGV

Do you know of any other options? We are struggling to find used tyre suppliers

Thanks Just the local Pub meet and car meets at 10MPG I can see us going far. It currently has the tractor type Agri tyres but they are badly cut and worn but cant find any cheap, most people fit military type tyres that we have seen as its the cheapest option?

Thanks Spoke to my local tyre place and the 10 year rule won't apply as its not a truck it weighs 2.9T and is not a HGV Correct me If I am wrong please.
