Take a chance ?

A bloke just phoned me and said; "I've been talking to a fellow car enthusiast and he says that he
has a set of 3ft pyramid rolls. He has no use for them so do you want them for £30?"

Worth a punt do you think?

Snatch his hand off, I paid 10 times that for my set!

Bargain - get round there tonight and buy them.

what did u say the address was

 

[Paul G]

Mmmm. I'm not expecting anything wonderful as they'r at a farm, which probably means they have been cunningly concealed
(for security reasons) in a patch of brambles, thistles, & nettles.

 

[MattF]

You got them yet?

 

[Robotstar5]

I should still get your self round there, just take a brush cutter. I was looking at some for £300, so its worth spending a little time restoring them if rough

Patience lads, patience. Farmers are busy this time of the year.

Anyway, if I push the price might go up.

The bloke that told me about them phoned me last night and said the owner had "found them" at the farm.
I can only assume that all this windy weather has blown the thistles over.

I'll pop over at the weekend and have a look.

It was daylight robbery.

The handle's bent.

 

[MattF]

You literally stole those, at that price. Good old cast iron frames too. One thing to check with those, when you're using them, is to not put too much pressure on in each pass. If I'm correct, those have the brass/bronze adjuster blocks at each end? Saw one a while ago where someone had tried applying too much pressure and one of the blocks had snapped, (an easy enough repair though), so just make sure to stay within reasonable limits.

Bargain of the day I reckon... Is the top roll decent? Seen more sets with a bent roll than straight ones!

 

[Welderpaul]

Rolls look bent in the photo?

I've seen a set of 10" rolls...bent. Evidently easy to do

 

[Paul G]

I got soaked going to get them. I've just left them on my trailer with a tarp chucked over.
I'll have a better look when the rain stops.

I was hoping they were going to be pyramid but they're initial pinch.
