The 461 needs to be left alone ..............end of Ste

Better still are .....One life .....don't waste it on a Land Rover . Ste

I know folk that use a piece of card to act has a choke while starting , this was a kit car with 4 barrel on a Ford Red top engine, I think it's something to do with gaining space when fitting in tight engine bays and only using trumpets . Ste

Jensen 325 ...... older model but near mint, I bought it has i have 3 Tractors knocking about and could not bare to look at buying another machine with Another engine to maintain!!!. Cracking machine without the Fancy electrics . Ste

A couple more pics for anybody planning on doing it themselves, tensioner has a punch mark to lignin up with the v cut in tensioner itself and the large torx to the right of crank pulley is for taking out and putting long screwdriver in to lock crank . The large nut is for the fan and normal thread plus the bolt in middle comes out and that's one of 3 that hold bracket too block . Ste

The engine in me Iveco is used in the Fiat/Citreon etc but front wheel drive which names them a pig to change lol. Ste

Fairly straightforward job being rear wheel drive, Iveco say 150,000 miles or 5 years whichever comes first ....me 77,000 and 11 years !!!! The waterpump is a long life jobby and the newer 35c engine supposedly have a Cambelt for life of engine. Cambelt kit comes with tensioner and idle pulley , lock camshaft with the hole in gear and cranky can locked via a bolt to the right of crank by undoing and placing a Allen key in . The old belt had cracks when I folded belt back . New belt has direction marks too. Tensioner has a mark cut in to tension to mark , turn engine over 4 times by cranky a hey presto ! Also I marked the pulleys just in case . Ste

Very little time for these Stars that abuse there Lives with Crap (literally) etc . 2016 ...if we take a look back at lot of those that died have pissed about with there Health taking whatever ! ! . He was Talented but not clever enough obviously. Complete Clown at Times. Ste

They will if it's sat blocking there path etc . Ste

That's the rumour to hide to wonky pole but it will want topping next year lol. Ste

A lot of thought must of gone on into choosing the right place , overhead cables supplying both houses has well has the street and BT lines , next door to a regular maintenance job of mine .Only just gone in last week and pic does not really show how close its to the Electric cable coming into house,. A Lombardy pop I think ! [ATTACH]215170[/ATTACH] Ste

You hit the nail on the head there , makes me laugh looking through some of the pictures on this forum of guys wearing the Fancy colorful chainsaws boots and the Breathable chainsaw trousers and then go up a tree with a top handle chainsaw wearing a fecking lycra tight fitting hi viz Tee shirt showing off the biceps ! Unfortunately I have first hand experience of watching my body empty itself of blood has a 14 year old kid falling through a green house ! I will tell you this now ...having a Toniqu or Celox in your first aid bum bag on your harness 40ft up a tree with a Major artery bleed is not worth a **** ! You will bleed yourself dry like a Christmas Turkey hung up . No way can you undo that first aid kit and administer it with a major bleed , you will get a hideous white flash in your eyes then adrenaline kicks in with panic plus you will **** yourself. Pull that knot and launch down hoping your grounding has not passed out first ! . Again planning and Prevention are the best and always protect your arms at least . Ste

Oh dear .. https://youtu.be/rzT9A2K6LBo Ste

None of the above ......just get stuck into a big Wet Coni full of dead wood and shite and the rest will be a walk in the park ! Plenty of ugly branch's to stop you hitting the ground too .

I use the older Brown still for mowing and saw bench .Bullet proof and easy to repair. Ste

Keep up the Routine has you will skip around work effortlessly . Ste

Yanmar tractors are bomb proof , I paid £2700 plus vat seven years ago for a YM 1810D 21.5 hp 4wd with power shuttle box and it's been a absolute diamond , earns it's keep mowing . Correct me if I am wrong but John Deere compacts are Yanmar . Ste

Has above ..... First case at a Turkey farm Lincolnshire! I have culled 7 chickens to make more room while they are hold up for now . Ste

Minimum 8ft ramps to make life easier dragging it up into a panel van. Ste

The older chippers are more simple has they don't have the Stress control so no need for electrics etc, I have a 16 year old Jenson and very little to it . Ste

Different Ste

My 16 year old Kobelco is priceless, 4 bolts and roof Canopy off and under Customers side garage porch . She runs sweet and no Smoke and 5800 hrs . RSL thumb and Tooth pick doing there magic . Ste

Has he says in the Thread , it's his Toy and he wants to have a crack at ploughing and promised the customer. I have not done any ploughing in 10 years and miss it so I understand where he is coming although it's his first time. I think profit is his last thing he is thinking about lol . Ste
