For Ducks sakes.

[V8Druid]

Got back into the tracked 8 tonner. Suddenly realised how pleasant the duck is getting around the place compared to anything on tracks

duck time will make you a far better/smoother/slicker operator and you'll probably not even notice

I doubt it

oh it will .... or you'll get yer arse bitten frequently

go to your local leccy wholesalers and ask them for a can of switch/contact cleaner -Isopropol I think it's called or summat like that - you want 'the good stuff' ..... pop the cover off your slip ring assembly and give it a good dose -- slew her round a few times and give it a bit more -- rinse and repeat ... see how that goes


edit
just remembered the trade name of some stuff i used to use a long time ago -- Inhibisol -- was the bollaux ... dare say it was 'nasty stuff' and probably not available any more -- worked bloody well though

Sounds like a date rape drug

Yeah but the whole getting other people to move kit for me just doesn't work for me. I need to be self sufficient. It's not just the cost of moving stuff around it's the organising- waiting around at both ends- let downs- access etc

How far will you tramp it? Very interested to see how it pans out. I've a long term pipedream of an idea to run a duck on local stuff and slowly building up a bit of a network of contacts etc but at the rate I'm going I'll be druids age and situ prob

Hence why I watched Olly's story pan out

The vast majority of my work is in a 10-15 mile radius so I think that would be fine in it- basically be happy to spend up to an hour each way sort of thing I think. It's better behaved on the road then I expected actually- I thought it would be quite noddy and bouncy but it goes fine- just very slow on the hills!
It's cheap to insure to- 3rd party fire and theft is £20 a month to add to existing commercial policy!
I guess it depends what kind of roads you'd be taking it on- would be tedious on A roads but the shitty little lanes around here are so slow going anyway I doubt I'll be much faster in truck and trailer

Looking at ways of leaving it on longer term jobs- could get a lift from the misses. But thinking taking a bike strapped to the machine and ride back- that way I can hold traffic up in both directions

Will the misses be happy with you getting a bike

Yeah good point and I'd have to tell her about the duck too.

Didn’t take you long to feck the case off now you’ve had your arse in the air a few times on the duck !

Whoever that’s going to is a better man than me ! I don’t know how he managed to persuade you to part with it but I know I couldn’t !!
