Well had a great day today, 5 mins after entering got a guy flagging me down, can I pull him off a tree, no problem ten mins later he is on his way, I still have my sandals on so pull off to a drier bit to sort my boots out but takes some time as need to do it entirely in the motor as too muddy...

Yep my Troll is up this month, come January I will have had her for 7 years, much abused off road, but still going strong, had to do loads of work due to off road stuff, new front disks and pads, old only 2 years but aggressive mud wears them down, needed new front leading arm bushes 4 off and...

Thought I had better start a new thread on this, I have already mentioned it in Flyingtorquewrenches thread "Time to say good by" but easier here. So it is a Mill, probably around the 1950's heavy great thing, but does vertical and horizontal work, it did however have some problems, first was...

Another good day at the wood, I pulled several out including one who managed to jamb a small tree tween his spare wheel and back door making thousands of little bits of glass out of the rear window in the process, battery chain saw to the rescue, only pic I got is of this guy, said it was a bad...

Had to do the last one of the year, turned out to be absolutely cracking, pulled a couple of guys out on first arrival, one of them standing on the roof with a rope in his hand in impossibly deep water, he came out with a simple pull, sadly no dashcam footage as it had not fired up, it does this...

As said, old unit suffered a control box fire which required a complete replacement alternator, sounds easy enough until you understand that the old one was automatic and could be started from any place in the yard with a two wire switch, I needed to keep this arrangement for ease of use by none...

I told Zac about this some time ago, but thought I would share it with the rest of you, since I have a wood burner I have needed a decent chain saw but with the price of fuel these days not to mention 2 stroke oil, when I saw a battery powered saw instantly took notice, and as I already have...

As title my lathe screw feed has a badly worn gear that is no longer available so will have to make my own, not a straightforward job I might add, but when pushed into a corner one has to respond, plus I have very little time to spare at this time but I need my lathe so has to be done, not...
