Today I acquired...........

[Memmeddu]

An head ache
My friend asked for the floor jack no problems
Went to my property loaded it .
My father and my uncle decided to add an electric motor to the gate this translates in me having to go there next Saturday to cut the gate and weld to make a door opening.

Paid £5. Worth a punt, I think.

Missing the air filter + cover, so I guess someone has been tinkering. Pull cord is snapped. Deck is in good condition. 2008.

I need to get some fuel to give it a go.

I've got one of those kicking about some where! If you can't get it started I'm pretty sure you can sell the deck and make your money back...they always rot out.

Honda engine... not starting? Can't use those words in the same sentence .
Pretty bullet proof engines.
Most likely valve adjustment, carburetor cleaning, a new sparkplug and it will start 90%

What size and make is the spanner ?

 

[Woody.v8]

A fresh sump for the truck, the old one is weeping a bit of oil with rust scabs.
A couple of coats of paint should help the new one.

A suitable size to tie the cord before I lost the end.

Coincidentally my sister messaged me last night - shes currently discovering that me telling her that no-one wants all the old "valuable" stuff from mums house was actually correct - about those coins. She's annoyed as "they are worth 3 grand" and she "threw hers away donkeys years ago" . . .

What she means of course, is she went on ebay and found a few for sale at such stupid money . . . I replied with a screenshot of a coin dealers website where he is flogging them for £1.99 . . .

I've still got mine somewhere . . . and the memories of waving a plastic union flag on a black plastic stick with a red pointy top bit, while stood on the sun on the side of the road through Kinson, Dorset

Is that the 1977 silver jubilee coins?

Cebora panther welder 180amp 240v

Wire speed has gone haywire. Was an excellent bit of kit. The welder part was still working. Needed a welder that day so had to buy a new one. Buy this for spares or repairs. No lance.but std euro...

Pickedthis up tonight, near to @DAPPH and @chunkolini territory. Just a tad bigger than my faithfully boc130.

SWMBO kept on about one for cleaning her little 206. Will run on a Makita battery with an adapter. I'd like to say it'll keep her quiet:

I'm suppressing the laughter at that.

 

[Turbo]

. I'd like to say it'll keep her quiet:

It depends on how you use it and how long the battery lasts.
Google waterboarding.

 

[Jaeger_S2k]

No, I don't need to eat my words. The commerce involved in this transaction was completed before I said,

This'll be my last shopping spree for a while ()

Arrived yesterday.

Can you tell what it is yet?

TADA!

Couple of Beautiful Handcrafted Podgers, from the skilled hands of ... @nickk

These were an add-on from the original enquiry about a Slick.
And here is the original 4" Slick, with its companion Newly commissioned 2" Slick.
These have exceeded my expectations by a long shot.
(She who makes lumpy custard), struggles to be excited

Just need final polishing, without overheating the steel.
Oh, and finding a suitable piece of wood to whittle for handles, suggestions welcome.

Kind of committed to tradition timber framing now!

Don't let solvents near the grips on the crimping pliers.
They do not like it.

How are you finding the metal part of those crimp connectors? The last ones I bought from amazon I have to crimp with the next size down crimps or they sometimes don't grip the wire enough. Compared to some older crimp connectors I have they are very thin.

I only wanted an arbour,the whole lot was just as cheap.

My bloody expensive bluepoint crimpers are like that, nearly always have to drop a size to get a good crimp.
