Well there goes my nest post.
"Guess what this is."

It is a old vertical lift tyre pump.

It does pump and is set aside for restoration.

so it *is* a pump?

when i said stirrup pump, i was thinking of for pushbike tyres, not pumping water.

No.
It is my pump.

Googled the the winch , it's a defender fitment complete, it can be made to work on the series, in a quandary , do Isell the whole thing on or break out the welder and grinder , I just knew my bubble would burst , grrr

Thats a shame, I chopped up a series winch when I built this https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/timber-winch.69155/

The Defender one looks a bit bigger, if you do decide to sell it I would be interested.

Today I went to the local garage to have a veeeeery slow puncture repaired. I thought it was either a leaky valve or dirt between the rim & tyre, because I could drive hundreds of miles before the dash 'Puncture' lit up again.

Anyway, it turned to be pin about an inch long [like a veneer pin] so it was a puncture - all fixed for £10

I came away with a cannibalised shopping trolley from his skip which was minus the lower bits. Someone had had it away for the castors and dumped it in his skip - he saw it happen on his CCTV but what could he do?
Plenty of shiny mesh to be had - it's still in the boot so I have no idea hence it came. I wonder if the £1 is still there...

Also, I have a line on getting a small section of rail track to use as an 'anvil' to save the vice from the ministrations of Mr BFH. That may not happen, but the seed has been sown......

A good day, all in.

A Karcher HD750 pressure washer for £14, when this was new back in 1985 it cost around £800! Connected it up to power & water & it's working perfectly apart from a leaking pressure gauge. It puts out 100bar at 11 l/m, enough for most jobs.

I was a service engineer for a Karcher dealer & IMHO this was the best cold washer they ever made. Although expensive it was simple & reliable with a top quality Siemens motor, probably why it's still working after 34 years! This was the last decent cold washer Karcher made before they started making them cheaper in order to compete with the cheap but good quality stuff from Italy.

The bonus is that it uses the same jet size as my current washer (an interpump) so I can swap hoses between them!

You do know that saying something like that after the fact is like an extra kick in the nads?

4 Sandvik F-clamps from 10" to 26", heavy duty if the weight is anything to go by!

A 4' sash clamp, no makers name but heavier built than a Record.

If it needs tyres, chain & sprockets and brake pads it better be mint or it won't be worthwhile spending the money, so the buggy chassis would seem very inviting.

 

[Lazurus]

Why are some of the lots 'RFD trade sale only?'

They were guns or firearms with defects, to be fair it was things such as broken firing pin, slight play on the action, but as they have each gun checked prior to sale I guess it is to cover themselves, also if it is a section 1 you would need to have an open slot on your ticket or be a RFD to purchase.

And the fact it's a zzr.
Not really a fashionable bike when new. Now it would only make money being a scrambler build and that would cost more money. Rather than cut it up and weld where it touches. Then play.

I have bought it thinking it's an engine with bits attached so no loss if the rest is bin fodder.

Sat outside the house now so.

Why are some of the lots 'RFD trade sale only?'

RFD = Registered Firearms Dealer. As Lazarus said, could have defects or be out of proof or excessive headspace or could be "component parts" such as an action or a bolt or just a barrel. All of these things require either a separate "slot" or entry on your Firearms Certificate or you need to be an RFD to posses them. Many Auction Houses just don't want the hassle of the public buying these things so they mark them RFD only. Probably the biggest is Holts and their online auction finishes on the 28th of this month: https://www.holtsauctioneers.com

Thanks, now I understand

Shed would be an understatement. Looks like hedge find. But still starts and runs.

12years off the road.
