PDC, (paul cowboy capon) is up and down the motorways every day carting things about and he often see these JCB"s cutting the verge ,he did tell me how/why they can run on a motorway but i have forgotten
-
Lots of things dont make sense in this world these days think they call it progress, also mightbe because the GREENS are taking over
-
Think its one of these ,they have contract to mow the verge as they are allowed on motorway
-
Just delivered my rubble sorter ,as long as its dry the dirt fall though and leaves you cleanish rubble ,not perfect but its had a good few tonnes over it ,local builder is going to use it this week on site
-

Here is a slightly better photo of the exaust pipe bend/extension my mate made up for the Puma
-
When i bought the Puma the previse owner had cut top of exhaust so it would go in his shed anyway my mate has made me a new bolt on bit ,will get better photo later as sun is very bright at moment
-
My mate been up farm a few hrs today so we bolted on new scrapers on powerharrow packer roll , we could not do all of them as delivery company Tuffells has lost the rest of order
-
Drum brakes, photo not good as cant get a good shot ,its also got a slight leak on halfshaft but i am told its because gearbox is leaking into back axle and pushing oil level up higher than it should be and causing it to leak ? I am not sure on that but am looking into it
-
Yes allways busy ,i got the rims for a project i have planned well the cutaway one other 2 was part of the lot ,if next week go to plan me and my mate are going to tackle the brakes on my major and look at a oil leak but the wheel centre is for another major we may tackle allow that is more of a winter thing for me ,will be intouch shortly with some photos maybe
-
Just been and got 2 of the items i bid on in sale , 3 fordson major rear wheel centres ,there is 2 round ones which i will use but it was the one cutout one i needed to make up a set but as one lot i had to have all 3 , other item is a big bag lifter ,sometimes pallet tines cut handles on big bags and on unloading lorrys you have to be very carefull on not hiting the roof while trying to get bags just of the deck so hopefully this will make job a bit better
-

-
