  1. Thanks ill look that up, wouldn't mind a brand new pump if im honest.
  2. I got a 461 from fr jones a couple of weeks ago, theres no weight difference and hardly any in cost between the 2, iv only used it once, but I was cutting with all a 25inch bar, well impressed:thumbup1:
  3. Ive put all the bits back on it after painting, had a new windscreen fitted, sorted the winch and the front and rear spots, looking good. Then I was driving home from the barn and... someone skidded into the front of it:thumbdown: It was a 62 reg vw estate, which is now missing a wing, headlight and bonnet, while my truck has a couple of scratches, thank god for 5mm steel bumpers:lol:
  4. Iv got a kat 1 and a non Kat 1, the front of the kat 1 gets a lot hotter, worried me a bit at first, I prefer the older 1.
  5. But then it came back:thumbup:
  6. Progress being made, the windscreen is being refitted tommorow, the wheelarches and snorkel are back on and the winch goes back on tomorow:thumbup1: but I have got to take the tipper motor back to the reconditioning place again as its packed up after less than 100 tips:thumbdown:
  7. If you or a mate can weld id definitely go for a disco, the main problem with 1 in your budger will probably be rust:thumbup1:
  8. If I used all that on my tractor id wear away the tinwork!
  9. Yea hes painting it for me, I had him waxoil it a couple of months ago, he does some great stuff:thumbup1: it certainly wont be getting lowered, its got a 2 inch lift:001_cool: I need to get a snow plough for the winter:lol:
  10. The photo at the bottom was taken on the way home from a scout expedition in Scotland, in the space of 4 weeks I took it to Scotland, Norfolk and the peak district:thumbup1:
  11. I thought id try and share a few photos and a bit of details about , my 127 tipper. Its a 200 tdi that iv been working on for a couple of years and i started driving it again 6 months ago.its had a recon gearbox, new transfer box, replacement wings, bonnet and doors, winch, front and rear spots, raptor dash and pod, new fuel tank and brakes, recaro seats 1000 watt inverter, ndeds new tyres though. And its been painted this weekend:thumbup1:
  12. Looking shiny!
  13. <p>Hello I would be able to supply you with 10 cubic meters of split and seasoned hardwood, or more or less if requiered, at £75 a meter delivered (a great price from my research and what others have told me), please pm me if this is of interest to you, thanks, William.</p>

  14. I have an 044 in pieces in my garage, if you wanted to sell it without the hassle of ebay, pm me:thumbup1:

  16. I could probably help you with that, I will pm you in a minute ( just about to eat dinner)
  17. :lol:Bit late now! but buying that 1 let me wind my husky mad mate up, sent him a message saying I now own a husqvarna, he messaged back saying what 1, I sent him that photo:lol:
  18. Decision made! A 461with 25 and 18 inch bars, and a new combi can so all the petrol that goes through it is mixed by me!
  19. I have a 1000 watt 2 socket from maplins hardwired into my defender, will comfortably run a 4.5inch grinder, electric drill and a cement mixer (not at the same time). I have left it on charging drill batterys overnihht by accident without flattening the battery:thumbup1: iv had it nearly 4 years aswell so good value too.
  20. I think the world wants me to buy a digger!, id decided during the week that I was going to get 1 early next year and yesterday I was driving along and saw a farm sale, pulled in for a look and there were about 60 diggers in the auction! Then I get home and this thread had just been started:lol:
  21. That's a decent bit of discount, especially as to get 10 most of us would only need 2 chains per saw/bar:thumbup1:
  22. Definitely meant 461. Thanks for the opinions, thought that might be the answer. When I finally commit the cash I should have a good line up- a 170 for brash, 291 for smaller poles/in the logmaster, a 461 for the bigger stuff and a 390 with a moddified exhaust for making a noise with:thumbup:
  23. I need to get myself a bigger saw than my 291, im looking at the 2 above, I will be mainly running whatever I get on a 20 inch bar, with a 25inch for when its needed. It will mainly be used for ringing up hardwood truncks for logs. Will the 441 be alright on the 25inch or will it be constantly bogging down? On paper there isnt much wheight difference, but is that true in reality? The difference in price is £130, so not that bigger deal if it lasts 12 or 14 years like our 044 did! Thanks, William.
  24. at's exactly the way I plan to make 1 for my 127, im gonna make up an extra couple of attachment s as well- saw vice, plain shackle, battering ram!
