I have done a few e6G, not too bad a job if you take the front of the van off first , its only a mornings work if you dont fanny about. As Ken says its worth buying the pin kits, timing covers are bonded on and you need to take care not to muller it taking it off or you will be buying a new one, I run a blow torch around the outer edge which helps. If you dont do it you will be looking at something like the one below at some point Bob One that shit itself a few years ago

Your work is worth more than a like Graham so I will top it off with a Bob

Kinnel Bill, we have to bin all our lids when they get to three years old. Bob

Well thats pissed on some fireworks, an arborist is semi skilled Serial killer job breakdown Top 3 Skilled Serial-Killer Occupations: 1. Aircraft machinist/assembler 2. Shoemaker/repair person 3. Automobile upholsterer Top 3 Semi-Skilled Serial Killer Occupations: 1. Forestry worker/arborist 2. Truck driver 3. Warehouse manager

I have a guy on the road all day looking at work and he reckons its a bit quiet, that said we are busy and had to recently take on a few more guy`s. I always think quiet times are the golden opportunity to get out there and see whats about, sitting around waiting for the phone to ring is futile. Bob

Its from premier supplies Lee so is probably a rebadged copy, I did ask the question and he said its from landrover but I doubt thats true. Its being fitted this weekend so I will report back http://www.premiersupply.co.uk/ Bob

Feck all happening in this section so I am going to bore you all shitless with a bit of a landy refurb. Our old 90 has been neglected and for the last three years only used for dragging a roller and some chain harrows about the farm . Sort of forgotten about it but the engine despite showing the lions share of 300k miles is on the button and a good runner ,I rebuilt the gearbox a few years ago and fitted a new clutch so mechanically its all good. The rear cross member was a bit crispy and had been patched a few times but other than that its sound. Anyway its having a bit of a refurb and going back on the road, worth nothing as it is really so may as well make it roadworthy. Looking sad Lifted the rear body tub off because Mick Dundee wont grovel around underneath cars. Rear cross member has lost its newness. Nifty new rear crossmember comes with enough chassis extension to cut out all the rust in one hit , not bad for £135 Rubbers look a bit perished so may fit one of those polybush kits. Anyone here got any recomendations? Bob To be continued .............................................................

Ye of little faith , that thing has had three tons in it so 800kg of grinder is nowt. Just need to make sure its loaded spot on in the middle or things can go a bit squiffy. Thats why I was there, the loonies would of had it in the drink Bob

The turbo run down time and oil thing is from the day of shite oils , not necessary today but its obviously better to turn off a motor from idle rather than rev the balls off prior to shut down. The warm up thing with hydro-static drives is much the same as anything that's about to be worked hard, nothing with bearings belts or hydraulics should be caned when cold. Bob

Ply bolted down on decent industrial draw units makes for a solid bench that will take a vice, done this and covered it in offcuts of that heavy duty lino thats used on hospital/school floors. Bob

Farming is a bowl of cherries, just swan about in flash 4x4`s raking it in, bowl of cherries With brexit we have a real chance to make a difference for britains farmers , the government needs to strip the system back to bare bones and have a rethink on production, tariffs, ecology and subsidies. The agri policy we have in place does not work and its at a very high cost to the taxpayers. Bob

No idea e6g , probably what someones is prepared to pay for it. Seems expensive for an old truck. Bob

I am not surprised e6g , had one festering in the yard for years and got 1k for it.It went for export, all they wanted was to hear it run and for it to make its way up the back of the recovery truck. With the pound so low against some other currencies its cheap for them to buy so a good time to off load junk/deaduns. They also bought some old perkins engines which were shot but turned and a vauxhaul brava. Bob

My Stihl multitool turned up the other day, nice well made tool supplied with a belt pouch and mall enough to live in a pocket.

I was just changing the alternator belt on it the other day Alex thinking the hat must go Three full days worth of grinding on that little kin island Stumpy , winch and clobber loaded up Winched off the boat back on dry land

I really cant see what the fuss is about, if the tree is that rotten get a tracked mewp in there and dismantle it. Even the limp wristed among us would mange to hold /cut and throw down the few twigs overhanging the railway fence. Does anyone here see getting that tree on the floor safely as more than a couple of hours work ? Bob

You would not want to drop it on your foot but its not heavy, two lads can carry it but they tend to just throw it into a wheelbarrow with all the rest of the clobber. Bob

Two stroke thought he would start his own mining company today, looks well pleased with his handywork

I wonder what the love child would look like Bob

So you never knew whether you were coming or going then Matelot. Not much changed there then Bob

The goodship SS rg35 Rayco Cleared this small island a while back ,the client wants the stumps ground so he can landscape and seed it, long term he wants to be able to just go over there and mow it. Looks quite small but there are hundreds of stumps on there, we winched out all the willow from the lake last year . Flopped it in there ok But needed the little winch to pull it out of the hull

Probably made of chocolate and does not really contain the correct tooling but I do like the idea. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHAINSAW-BAR-COVER-SCABBARD-WITH-BUILT-IN-TOOL-KIT-3-16-12-TO-16-BARS/361893561333?epid=532146668&hash=item54428983f5:g:pYAAAOSw5cNYj57O Just ordered one of these, so will report back. Looks like the plug spanner may actually have enough reach. https://www.toolstoday.co.uk/stihl-multi-function-tool-for-chainsaw-service-adjustments-19-13mm Bob

Trimmed up our insurances this year and gone third party fire and theft on half of them , we run on quite a big excess and as most of the bumps/ scrapes are fixed in house by our one eyed sprayer there seemed little point in going fully comp on half the trucks. Managed to save about 10k on renewal. Bob

This was supposed to be a poll but I fecked it up so it will have to be a discussion Bought this one below and many of them over the years but never really got on with them . Seem a clumsy , flimsy alternative to the proper tools.

If you were to remove the chip box for test you would have to add ballast to the chassis because the brake compensator would be at the top of its travel ( virtually no rear brakes). You need a bit of weight on the back so they can get a reading when its in the rollers and to stop them just locking. Bob
