smithy Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 While I was running stones down to my drain in bucket of JCB I had 3 army lorry's behind me,we was passing 2 lorry's going other way it is a bit tight but the British army driver of the year award goes to this dickhead, it's my field and after a few wet days he thought it was hard enough to pull on it, anyway 2nd lorry was same as one stuck so nipped in front and pulled him out ,they did say sorry at the time and with shovels tried to put it right after half hour I did go up to them and say as I got digger here I could put it right so they left and I put it right,I did think they would call back with a case of beers or something but 3weeks later I am still awaiting 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Got my wheels out and tires as tire company was calling in to refit them ,it's hard work then putting them back on tractor even with some help as they a dammed heavy , anyway I been thinking about one for a while so in the end I bought one of these wheel refitting machines ,you can lift to right height and rotate wheel to line up studs made the job a lot safer,only thing is probably won't use it till next spring when row crops go back on 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Got asked if I could lift this fibreglass boat from out on grass field into owner's garden as going to fill it with compost and plant flowers in it ,they also asked if I dare lift this other one ,but I said I think it would break up if I lifted it so we left it alone,10 years ago 2 people started to repair it as it was not to bad but unfortunately they both passed away,it had been sheeted up but last few years it's been exposed to weather and it's just too far gone,it was involved in the 2nd world war so a lot of history with it 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Bit of a surprise at work today, it's 20 years since Crossland took over Massey Tankers, there's only a handful of us ex Massey men left now, I started as an apprentice back in 1995 the Monday morning after my last GCSE exam and been there ever since, Crosslands took over in September 2003 so as a thank you for our 20 years service to Crosslands we got gifted some flowers and a card that was signed by the management and included a voucher for a meal out..... have to say job has its ups and downs but keeps the cash coming in. Maybes I'll stick at it for another couple of years 🤣🤣 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some 20/30 year men at Wheelbase and they knew more than any of the engineers, a very valuable asset but highly underrated. I was chatting to Conor at the Road Transport Expo about job opportunities at Crossland but I've gone to Thompsons Tippers instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
