The 'Today's Job' thread

other than a 20A toggle James ...think Russel was proposing to do a two way circuit he could switch on/off from either location in the truck ... lot of faff though for the distances involved between switches ... and finding suitable toggles, although switching a low draw, like the relay broadens the availability of suitable switches dramatically

Use a Diode then if you don’t want to load the switch. Fitted in the switching wire from the reverse lights.

I’ve missed something though, as your taking about switching from different locations?

Just careful messing with the wiring on those shogun's as they are flyby wire and the controllers don't like unapproved items added

Not technically my job but it’s next to our yard !

First little job for the bobcat finished

Finally decided to do sommat about my micro bucket not fitting the titl hitch. It will be ideal for delicate jobs loading the muck truck (like tomorrow's )

Twenty minutes work with the plasma and welder. So glad of my workshop. Just cut out the protruding round stock and welded in a bit of flat to give it enough clearance.

I can’t imagine they’d be much cop. My r-tech 50 amp plasma for £700 blows my previous generic Chinese machine out of the water
A good starting point would be,what type of torch do they run?

Bit of lorry porn (for me anyway)

Nice that colour is spot on. Looking for a 16/20 yard bin though

 

[Mintsauce]

Might not need cutting down as the bin in the pic is well over 20'

 

[V8Druid]

there're also a few 8x6 hook lift trucks in the sale too ...... bet they'll make some serious bucks

 

[Mintsauce]

Ok 8x8 I might get the wallet out

 

[Mintsauce]

Scrap that the load height way to high

you'd need a wheel barrow there ... not a wallet

and the next 3 lots also Minty

no need to worry about load height, where you could get with an 8x8

 

[Mintsauce]

Bit taller than the 8x4 with boughtons by the looks

 

[V8Druid]

sat in an 8x8 though Con, you could quote Doc Emmet Brown ..... "where we're going we don't need roads"
