Gopher, Central Suffolk Tuesday 19 march
Pasty Muncher replied to Andy Collins's topic in Employment
See what you can get from turning up to do a day's work for an amount which so many people derided - a glowing reference and 4 weeks work. -
Another for your register - a one off built for a tender to replace the Scammel Commander. Now being run with a different engine and gearbox by ALE as a ballast tractor

Thought I recognised it from your first pic Twisted! Don't forget the hard-dogs they had patrolling too. Nothing ever got nicked though - fortunately! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Common problems would be rust along the top of the chassis rails from the doors backwards, rear crossmember corrosion (not always easy to spot) and also the bulkhead, at the top between the vents and the hinges and in the footwells, especially the panels ahead of the doors (crud gets trapped between the wing and the outside of this panel, which is generally not waxoyled). Then there are problems specific to which engine is in it. May be best to join your local Owners Club, they aren't as nerdy as you may think and members will be all too happy to make recommendations and view potential purchases. Also a good way to learn the limits of the vehicle and how to safely drive to them:) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

You won't get much of a defender for a grand, and it'll not be cheap keeping it going. Anything for that money will probably not have too much chassis left. Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Not on today's rates you wouldn't Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Wouldn't it be better to burn the diesel used in the shipping of the timber and all the diesel used by the offshore wind turbines in the power stations? Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Arbtalk Christmas Raffle 2012
Pasty Muncher replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Arbtalk Christmas Charity Raffle 2012
Tickets bought. Would have liked to have done more, but I'm a bit quiet right now. Hopefully next year .......! -
Probably lets in less rain than a standard one too Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Been thinking about doing the same for a few months now. The arrival of the Tamar recently has made me even more keen Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

I have genuine heavy duty springs with Decarbon shocks. They've been ok for about 11 years but are starting to sag a bit now Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Went in and saw Albert yesterday. Broken rivet replaced for £1.50. Hopefully I'll get another 4 weeks out of that chain now! Thanks for the tip Andy:thumbup:

Experienced hand-cutter available next week, all own equipment, will work north Suffolk / south Norfolk area, or further afield if it's worth my while! Please pm if interested Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Could also be due to lack of pollination by bees, as they've had a lousy year too Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Thanks Andy, I'll pop in and see him next time I'm home as that isn't far from me Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Thanks all for your advice. I only wondered as it is only about a quarter worn, but in my view safety will always come before cost-cutting, so it'll go in the bin. Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

I was wondering if that was possible, as I know reels of chain are sold so someone must be able to join them up Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Would be grateful for some advice regarding a damaged chain. I noticed one of the tie straps looked a little strange, and on further inspection discovered that the rivet seems to be in 2 halves sliding in and out of each other, allowing the 2 parts of the tie strap to spread. Is this something that can be repaired or is the chain a write-off? Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Bad News Ash Disease discovered in East Anglia
Pasty Muncher replied to arbwork's topic in Tree health care
Unless I've missed it, and I've looked in all the obvious places, we have so far received no advice or guidelines on biosecurity measures. As a forestry sub-contractor in East Anglia working on several sites I would hate to think that I could be spreading this disease from one ancient woodland to another without even knowing it.

There's plenty of hand cutting coming up in Norfolk and Suffolk if you don't mind caravanning or staying in digs. I can pm you the number of someone with a long run of work if you're interested Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

You could always reverse the vehicle (gently) to take up the slack Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

I'm up in Lowestoft myself so wouldn't be a problem to come and see you if you want. Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk
