Turner Trojan flail mower belt sizes ( can anyone help)
GarethM replied to Irishlew72's topic in Picture Forum
Is that Kevlar reinforced? -
I just find them a bit crap at starting, that's why I pull over on run first and not choke. On my occasional use, 261 being the main workhorse. Holding the throttle whilst not best practice usually start then.

Unimogs - Never thought I'd be asking this.

One machine can't do everything. -
Because the argument would be atleast an independent body or company is impartial ish. It'll just be like the old MOTs by mates in the 90s, the vehicle never moved and had grass growing out the tyres, yet miraculously had a MOT certificate.
-
I wouldn't say it's leaking, more the choke is just letting too much build up in the cylinder. Messing up the ratio to the point where it'll never ignite, had to remove the plug once or twice on an ancient Ms250 years ago. I tended to pull it over normally once or twice, if it fired happy days before resorting to choke. Weirdly on my 251, I tend to rev and hit the stop button helps on the next restart.

What does the manual say for the belt, sometimes the part number is just the actual size as most people would go aftermarket for a commonly available V belt. -

They'll usually have a size printed on them that is it's length in mm. 1755 for example. -
I've always been of the mindset, claim for the big stuff and not the smaller stuff. The insurance company will want their pound of flesh somehow, even if you've 30 years worth of premiums they'll get it somehow.

I'm still a little confused by the exhaust going down through the plywood. Fumes are the least of your worries, but maybe the chain brake is only fitted for carrying passengers?.
-
Erm, a paperweight and a free spark plug ?.

It cost you nothing, chalk it upto experience and move onto something better.

The hydraulics have to be open centre, so zero resistance until you engage a lever valve. But every layer of complexity adds another point of failure, a one cylinder hatz runs a hydraulic 13 ton splitter all day on a sniffle of fuel. What are you thinking of running, electric is always nicer but it's then even more inefficient if you're then running a generator.
-
Cheap Chinese tractors are probably the best idea or a ex farm scraper tractor that's rusted through on the tinwork. There are power packs, mostly petrol and you'll need a small fortune to buy and run. Depending what you want to run, hydraulic might be a better option and cut out the gearbox losses.

The jungle is not it's native environment, those places are for the Land Cruiser.
-
That's why I suggested the cheap knock-off impact, not for the ugga dugga part. But presumably they gear them down considerably and for 18.99 on eBay you wouldn't mind getting it wet.
-
125 Nm is enough to throw both of us over a desk!. I check electromagnetic clutches with 40+Nm and that feels like ripping your arm off and have to be quick on the on/off
-
Surely a knock off Makita impact driver would have a better amount of torque in a small drill sized package ?. End of the day it's about the gearing to slow it down and get the grunt.
-
Aren't the Tesla trucks rusting in the California rain ?, even the cocaine smuggling DeLoreon built a stainless steel car in Ireland that didn't rust!. In all seriousness, it's just another excuse to tinker around the edges, it'll all be clarified at the budget where they'll make everything more complicated. Google says 17,000 pages under Gordon Brown, I think it's now beyond the scope of those newspaper printers!.

Maybe speak to the online coal guys, CPL

Conservatives haven't been conservative since Thatcher. In the 50s the UK was broke, yet we said build it and we did it without paying the Chinese or French a penny.

Read the very end, ignore the Iran stuff. He was apposed to all civil and military nuclear, a rhetoric that took over all labour politicians even to this day. So every time the call came for more nuclear it just got kicked down the road again and again.
-
Atomic hypocrisy | Tony Benn | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Tony Benn: Neither Bush nor Blair is in a position to take a high moral line on Iran's nuclear programme. That's a pretty good summary, I've read a few other nuclear power history books that pretty much backup Tony Benn's hate of nuclear power which effectively killed home grown industry.
-
I said it before, but we need nuclear base load. Gas should not be used for power stations, whilst I don't want to lament about the old days as I'm not that old. Gas was almost exclusively heating, burnt at point of use and whilst back boilers were awful, at today's 92+ efficiency Vs a power station that's about 30%.
-
If that was a financial triangle, I think those are illegal. Just saying.
-
It might be cheaper per unit, it's not however correct as you need a base load which means more generation elsewhere this means more cost even with a connected grid to Europe. Wind doesn't blow when you want it and there's no hydrogen storage to make use of it, so we turn then off when it's too windy which takes a surprisingly large amount of power. Next you'll bang on about batteries, yeah battery runaways are so great for the environment. And what fossil fuel subsidies in particular are you highlighting?.
