The very word "stump grinding" is open to interpretation, there are guys out there just buffing off the tops while others will bowl them out properly. Perhaps an option for either at the quoting stage would help add clarity for the client. Bob

There is always the bump start.

I never bother with the decompressor, you can get a feel for when they have just gone over tdc. Get it to that point and go for it, if you go a bit girlie it will tear your fingers off but if you commit they just start. Bob

Possibly, Ms441 will be 14mm plug size, the Ms362 can be 14mm or 10mm. Whatever the size is use the stepped tap.

The bladegate scandal is still running I would like to think Forst will be modifying the blade set up and putting the blade behind the rotor with a clamp to hold it down rather than the two bolt system they currently use to hold it on the front. The system on the left vs the one on the right is a no brainer.
-
The biggest problem with fitting a helicoil is getting the tap to thread the hole true to the sealing washer face of the plug. Draper make a stepped tap kit that picks up on what's left of the original thread and uses that to chase out the new thread. If you take your time its sort of fool proof. Bob

Piss taking aside just for a minute, the design of the blade fixture as a whole looks a bit suspect. In my mind the base of the blade could sit on a machined ledge on the rotor so the bolts are only used to hold the blade back. As is the bolts and countersunk holes are taking an unnecessary hammering, they would take even less of a hammering if the blades were not canted away from the rotor like they are. If left like they are I would consider closing up the anvil/blade clearance to minimise blade stress. Take smaller bites. Bob

I thought they liked everything to go in dry Bob

We have run our Landrover cherry picker for over fourteen years now, nothing fancy but its in constant use. It's on chunky tyres so gets about well and its got a pull out drawbar so it can tow a chipper, also got spades and a six ton hydraulic winch up its chuff which is useful. Cant see what's not to like Bob

I was thinking of the DCM . Bob

I think we have a serial kerbist amongst us

Copperslip is not a lubricant, it's an anti seize compound. Bob
-
Its a load of bollocks, if you buy any new cap screws they are covered in oil in the box and the rotor when new will have lubricant in the threaded holes. Is the nobsocket suggesting they are degreased/dried before they fit them? Bob
-
Have they not got those weigh pads now that they can carry around? A lot of them use the mobile weighbridge or pads, the strips in the road are quite accurate so they use info from these to initiate the pull, the system is linked to dvla so by the time you arrive at the layby/pull in they have all the relevant vehicle info to hand. It saves them a fortune in lost time from the days they did a visual guesstimate assessment prior to a pull, basically every pull will be a nick. Bob

It's a bespoke vehicle and won't have to hit kind of production numbers Land rover needed to be viable. Bob
-
True, the single wheeled rears are a lot less forgiving on weight distribution. Overloaded 3.5 tonners are easy pickings for Vosa , they are hitting them hard at the moment. Lots more weighing strips going in on dual carriageways and motorways, they can nick you at the side of the road now instead of the long haul and time-consuming trip to a weighbridge. Bob

Last time this question was asked I think it was the Fiat Ducato with a 1.605 ton payload that came out on top. Shit truck though. Bob
-
I would split the quote up into two, separate out the work quote from a pc sum for the supplying of ground mats and let the client make the decision. It’s not worth overthinking about at the pricing stage, the work won’t change but they get to tinker with the ground pressure solution and make up their own minds. Bob

Chuck a few hand fulls of pea shingle in there with a bit of water/detergent , put the lid on and give them a good shake about. Bob

Not so sure I would want a 14ton machine on a trailer behind any tractor, 14 ton is the dry weight, add in the fluids and head it's probably nearer 15 ton, chuck on the grab tank, normal clutter and the extra weight of a trailer that will poke up with the load and its all getting a bit too much. It's a lorry job. Bob

Hills kill tractors, even the ones with 300+hp. They make very inefficient use of transmitting power to the road, fully loaded trucks with the same power would fly up the same hills a tractor would crawl up. Bob

Dont know how that happened Bob
-
Great looking truck but where do they get 4.5 ton from? Its got to be a tad under 2 tons as it sits there so are they saying you can dump 2.5 ton on the back axle which is the only place you can put it ?Thats going to be 3.5 ton on the rear axle with BFG tyres and1 ton on the front. Spurlain that one to vosa at the side of the road . Maybe 4.5 ton mam Bob

Its was black , I have some 40 year old photos of it somewhere. Not quite sure how to get them on here other than taking a snap of the photos . I will have a dig about in the week and see what I can do. Bob
