The guy that does our balancing is not far from you, I will get his number for you. Its worth doing some basic checks prior to throwing cash at the balance, the obvious like a bent rotor, spigot shafts into the rotor, bearings and that all the flails are new or at least in good condition. Typical mobile balance costs about £350-£450 depending on time and you will need to be ready with a welder and various sizes of steel slugs . Bob

I cant comment on the machine the OP posted on but I have recently tipped out my other yard and there were vehicles/plant I had forgotten about that were last used when Long John Silver was running around on two legs with an egg on his shoulder All of it started and drove out of there, there were a few with stuck clutches but most of it drove onto the low loader, providing no water has got into this old school kit there is no reason it cant be got running. A while ago scrap prices went through the roof so I fired up an old Drott and Hymac 580c that had been out of service for yonks , drove them onto the low loader and ran them down to Muddles. £2.5k for the Hymac in the iron, seemed criminal at the time running working machinery into the scrappy Bob -
Here you go @woody paul give them a call https://systemh.co.uk/catalogs/WEB Bellhousings & Couplings Catalog 2016.pdf Bob

The one above may be available if I can find a wet pack to suit the truck. Bob

Paul you need an sae bell housing , from there you can get a plate and pump to suit. Bob.

The more this kind of kind of crap comes our way the more I want to take to the hills. Bob

If we could see a snap of the munter that chap had to hump it may shed light as to why there was a need for a blue bullet and jab in the pork sword . Just saying Bob

Is it poor money though ? A lad on £150 is going to cost his employer north of £200 by the time he adds in all of the bullshit associated with employing someone, stick a truck, insurances, admin and kit into the equation and the two man arb team rates are getting on for £450 a day before any profit. Only so much a client will pay for this type of work which ultimately reflects in the wages. 80d

Depends on how limp under the cap they are. A punctual, reliable kick arse van driving non clock watching job minded groundie £150ish, a non driving disinterested half asleep sicknote text addict that`s just crawled out of some crispy bed sheets is sub minimum wage. Bob

I dont think 40-80 ton makes it viable. By the time you hire in a screener, then put a guy on a slew and dumper for the day its going to be expensive soil. Probably cheaper to lose or remove what you have on site and import some decent gear. Bob

Does look very poor, I was surprised to see the concrete laid on top of what is basically fill. Something with a bit of aggregate would of held up better irrespective of the concrete letting water through. Bob

Thank you Sherlock, nicely deduced Bob

`s , a man in the pub reckoned the damage was caused by some confused Irish muslims in a boat, something to do with fasting iirc Bob

Thats the one I will take some more snaps of the pipe in/out. The lads dug a 14 foot deep hole and I craned it in today. 110mm philmacs next to a 32mm philmac.

Its a shame there`s not a section in the milling forum where decent sticks could be offered up with the location and not buried by other threads.Tidy few tons of interesting oddsnsods here @Steve Bullman Bob

Using jacks seems a bit of a faff just for lifting posts , we knocked up a lever tool for popping out posts, just wrap the chain around the base and push the handle down. It can pop out 4"x4" posts with concrete around the base so wont have trouble with tree stakes. You can buy similar. Bob

Lets not talk about 7 pin sockets and trailer boards

So its chips for Spudulike , they will be no Amora Codwood here we go. Bob

Yes Someone broke in the yard Stubby and covered it in graffiti

The RAMs would still make an interesting night time read Chris. Bob

As above get it down as soon as possible, if the client leaves it any longer walk away. I recently mulched out a very large compartment of failed/failing Ash , most of it shattered as soon as the machine touched it. I would not be happy sending any of my climbers up dead or dying Ash. Bob

Its being piped inline with all the rainwater run off , all the soakaway water will go through this big tank which will then when full overflow into a rainwater harvesting tank and only what's left over will actually go into a soakaway. Between the two tanks there will be 2500ltrs for garden watering and the 15000 ltrs will always be held back for the emergency hydrant use. 8oD.

Reset the clocks! Its just gone out of the gate for the first time Bob

It’s miles from the nearest hydrant and the owner is paranoid after the last house burned down, marsh made this as a special with a 110 mm outlet for the pumping equipment. Bob

Dont think so Mark, the umbrella had not been invented back then so they probably just thought feck this. Bob
