Hmmmmmm, what’s going on with the picture sequence again???

[vhgmcbuddy]

Replaced the damaged gauze air filter today. Used a very thin screwdriver to prise up the brass lip holding the gauze in place, then removed the old bit. Cut out the new piece from the sheet and placed in under the lip. Turned the piece over, so the gauze side was face down and tapped all around the back applying pressure all the time. Here are the pictures and it refitted to the carb.

I could not believe how unlucky you have been with the weather but looking at these photos your Bog Mats ARE KEEPING IT AFLOAT.

Here is the rocker spring fitted..

Where is the link to pay by PayPal I keep finding the one’s to pay by cheque I know I’m dim and apologise 🙁

[vhgmcbuddy]

from my past experience on hydraulics if there is a filter it is always as close to where the oil leaves the tank to stop any bits etc going inside rams and oil pumps. international ind loaders have them inside the tank to get at them there is a plate on the tank itself for hand acsess to undo it for replacement. hope this little gem helps you find it.

funny you should say that Charlie but I know a middle aged woman who gets turned on by the smell of old fashioned creosote. good job you cannot get it now without a licence, because she lives next door ha ha.

Tidy looking job. I have use the Jetcut in my younger days, bit of a workout. I think Id go for the bike now.

Charlie, you’re more than welcome, I’ve said nothing that wasn’t richly deserved. As for subs, I think its clear from my previous post what I think. Obviously to survive and prosper the club needs sufficient income, but of course with the price of fuel and other necessities for enjoying our hobby, I suspect most of us are finding our personal budgets tight at the moment.

I never knew Teagle did one of those Alan, mine if he be Cornish he be good. Is that a similar engine used on their hedge trimmer. I will try not to put another tank in a basket on here John.

Ok, time for me to have a say…

1. I reckon that anyone who thinks £12 per annum is expensive for an informative magazine, standard insurance for showing our machines, and access to this Forum, has unrealistic expectations (seen the price of a packet of fags lately??) I can’t see why any potential new member would be discouraged from joining the club by the cost.

2. We must all remember that the committee and officers (none of whom I have met or know other than through this Forum) do not get paid – they are doing what they do for the love of the hobby, and a damn good job they do in my opinion. I would love to take the job of editor on, but at the moment working a 50/60 hour week and with other commitments, that’s not an option, but surely there must be a few retired members out there with time to give it a go?

3. We probably all have views on what the future of this hobby, the Forum and our club should be, and it should be possible for those views to be aired and discussed openly without acrimony. BUT, we should do so bearing in mind normal standards of behaviour and not let this Forum descend to the depths plumbed by some other websites I could name. AND again remembering those in charge do everything voluntarily, with a very limited subscription income, and no matter how much it may be desirable, it is not possible for all the desired features of the Forum to be immediately available.

4. Personally, I don’t despair for the future of the club whilst there are members who have strong views (which must surely come from a passion for the hobby and club). But, if change does take place, lets not forget all the hard work put in by the committee and officers thus far. I reckon we all have a lot to thank them for.

(Rant ends)

I had already noticed this! I understand from Geoff that the date relates only to the forum, not to the date of subscription renewal. So, I’ve renewed as usual. Geoff says the wrong date will be amended.

At last the rebuild has started,and taking lots of photo’s has paid off. the bolts which hold the mower handle bar framework are different lengths and pictures helped a lot with getting the main handles the right way around. will not be putting engine in at the moment because the total combined weight will be to heavy for me to manage safely as I had to bring her into the shed on its front rollers in a side ways manner. A hot tip needed to make the front and rear rollers look a lot newer than they are at present. all ideas considered as they look shabby THANKS.
