Used mine at the weekend for about two hours and its taken about that long for my arms to stop acheing. Only down fall I find with them is the handles are very low and non adjustable for height. I am six feet tall so find I quite often have to stoop down to use them, apart from that they do what the advert says. Heres mine
Yes they are the contract number and date stamped on the tool. I know this as my father in law worked for both the GPO & BT until he was pensioned off and I was given all his old spanners, at a rough guess eighty to a hundred of them which has saved me a lot of money as I wasn't around when imperial was the main sizes.
Sorry Neil I don't have any pump as yet but have been told I can rescue all the dairy equipment it used to run. will put some pics up soon but it was in a sorry state.
On the farm behind me they have got a new valtra tractor that inflates or deflates its own tyres to suit wheel slippage and ground conditions. Don't know how it works yet but told formula one cars also have it. Wouldn't like to fix it if it went wrong though, expect its a laptop job
Great weather in Hampshire today as well, I have put some under coat on the lister d but haven't got a strong enough washing line to hang it on. I also paint small parts on the washing line, missus got so fed up we now have two lines, so when mine isn't used for painting targets get hung on it for shooting with the air rifle. So they are very good things washing lines.
Hi All. I have got most the parts for the model d now apart from the starting handle, so when the winter comes I will have something to do in the man cave. Must concentrate on finishing the tractor why the weathers nice, only problem is these farmers around here keep breaking things so I am forever welding various things up for them. Paul
Had a quick look at the model d today and wondered why it was quite easy to turn the flywheel by hand. Took the valve cover off and found one of the push rods is missing also i have no starting handle. If anyone has these at all and would like to sell them or tell me were i could get them that would be great.
You would think this barn would be empty of old machines now. I have had two rotovators , one tractor, zig zag harrows, trailed cultivator, allen scythe. There is a petter engine in there to come out yet, i don't know what model but has two flywheels about the size of shepard hut wheels and the engine is a bit smaller than me (I am six feet tall) also today I dug out two listers one is a d the other a junior, should keep me busy. Paul
When I got the scythe it had a s12 carb on it but the float had a pin hole in it and the horseshoe shaped pin that operates it was broke . do you have any of these Chris?
Yes that would be mr eames. Very good bloke. Paul at meetens put me on to him. He supplied me with a replacement mk15 engine. So i am looking for spares for it also spare fingers for the blade
YES I may be intrested . This one only had half a engine when I got it and a no blade whatsoever so I got a new engine from a man in petworth down your way so always on the look out for spares. This one is a ts with a mk 15 fourstroke Villiers.
Farmers gone mad in Hampshire trying to get hay done. I have been asked by the local farmer to cut a wild flower meadow down later on in the year so today I got the allen out and cut down the hay where the mower cannot get to ie. round the troughs and fence line and was amazed it started first go.
Hi all. Titch told me and others about this site on his president club site. I think everyone involved should take pride in all there hard work, its excellent and once you have visited your hooked. I visit most days just to see whats going on.
Had Titch down the other week so had most the collection out. Very nice to meet the man and can see why he is called Titch, but his good reputation is bigger.
That's nice Paul, isn't it funny how I put the petrol lawn edger on here then this appears from the same company. That's the only two items I have seen from them to date.
