    Keep going you are nearly half way there for a transit Fodens not far away from 1.7 million miles now. I blame the cheap old 10/40 semi synthetic we chuck in everything from Rye oils for the way they keep going That said the transit connect has just blown an engine at 143000 so it spanner time:thumbdown: Bob

    The depth and content of your H&S package will depend on who you are targeting for work. Bob

    One of our lads was kicked off of a Balfours job for using a top handle on a motorway bank, he was also put on their blacklist of never to be employed again. Also caused no end of grief with paperwork flying about the office. Another lad that was trimming back a massive hedge picked up a top handle to trim back some of the larger twigs and it flicked back into his helmet, it ripped off the visor and took a lump out of his eyebrow. Top handles now have a chain through all them and only the climbers have the key. Bob

    If you personally own all of the machinery and hire it back to your company, its then all covered on the "hired in plant insurance". Bob

    I think you will find the problem is with the broker and not the insurer. Any of them will insure a tipper if they know what they are insuring, on any of our non standard kit like cherry pickers or tippers on 4x4`s our broker just asks for a photo. Job done, and thats with Allianze who are not that accommodating. Bob

    Aside of the housing the bearing itself is slightly different, note the groove and hole in the greaseable unit compared to the sealed one, the sealed one wont grease. Its probably easier to just change both parts, while your at it fit the flexi tubes to them so the grease nipples end up somewhere accessible.

    Dust cover got ripped off the bellhousing on the Foden and a load of crud got dragged round the flywheel and tore the gear off the starter:thumbdown: And another guard got ripped off Because of this man.

    The Fast track mower took a hiding on a grass cutting job when it found some concrete. It bent the shaft where its welded into the drum , down about 15mm which made it vibrate like hell and throw the belts off Managed to straighten it with a 50ton hydraulic air jack and chain. Got the shaft to within half a mm which seems to have done the trick. Took a whole day though of tweeking and measuring. Bob

    I agree but when selling timber the question does get asked and answers are needed. Bob

    I purchased a cheapy like this [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/diy/dp/B0036PSX0K]Moisture Meter - Moisture Detector for wood, building materials (screed, concrete, wall) and other materials - With switch button to select material: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41oGRJ7YzVL.@@AMEPARAM@@41oGRJ7YzVL[/ame] which is used a general moisture meter, it gives a reading in just about anything so I assumed for example when its poked into a damp wall its measuring between the probes as a percentage its water content. When I find it I will give it a swimming lesson and let you know the reading. Bob

    We mix 800ml in 20ltrs of fuel and it goes in everything. I know its over the top but we genuinely have never had any engine issues. Bob

    We are still using Carlube oil with no issues, normally batch mixed in a 20ltr jerry can and dispensed from that. The only problems we have ever had are when the lads try to guesstimate a part fill/mix or mistakenly run a saw on the grinders fuel. I have only heard of horror stories using this oil, never witnessed any so believe most failures are down to incorrect mixes. Still under £10 a gallon Bob

    Could you not check calibration by dipping the end in water? Bob

    keruing costs a fortune, £1500 for enough to re lay the bed of the low loader. From some weird foreign country £7.50 per mtr for 6x1 Bob

    The hundred cube walking floor trailers carry 30 ton of chip if brimmed. Thats with a mixed bag or cord and arb waste. 30 ton of cord takes up much less space. Bob

    I would go along with UTV advice, those Britax ones on the bowser have done a five year watering contract on the motorway where they have been on for eight hours a day five days a week . Still good. Bob

    Weld a big washer onto the head of the screw, then weld a big nut to the washer and they will come straight out. Half an hour tops for the lot. The heat will destroy the locktite or rust and they will just unscrew. Same method as this http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/maintenance-help/83747-broken-stud-repair-2.html Bob

    My late father was a session player ( rent a drummer ) Jazz and big band . Back in the day they could read music and frowned upon skinbashers in pop groups There were always premiers set up in the spare room. Two of my brothers and one sister have musical talent but unfortunately for me no musical genes were passed down I blame him for my strange taste in music like Clyde Stubblefieds Funky drummer and Maceo Parker [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame]
