box is 3 times the Cubic metre-age stated (less contents.)
down side is it's not very portable .. needs an exhaust outlet plumbing in
idea was park it in the doorway for air supply and let it rip for a few minutes - how 'fumey' are they then ?
even cheaper to do ferk all and hibernate for the winterYeah that’s the job.
Cheaper to buy yourself a heated jacket and heated gloved
My mate who works with me has a Hyundai leaf blower and chain saw both are brilliant and he has worked the arse of both . Noisy though . The leaf blower is like a 747 preparing to leave Heathrowevening gentlemen - and all you lot

fed up with p*ssing about with piddly little 'cheapo' washers
Annovi Reverberi (AR) pumps seem to have a great rep. and spares seem readily available
puts out great pressure and'll 'pick up' from a drum/ibc/whatever up to 2m, or gravity feed
light enough for Pam to handle, it's an easy set up and really puts it out, so'll speed up 'washing' dramatically with 15l/min and 4000psi

have been satisfied with all the other Hyundai stuff I've had/got, carries a 3yr warranty and are likely to be about in 3 years too
I have a big diesel Hodna powered beast, but it's a lump - very good - but a lump to handle and is currently tucked away
Honda or Hyundai Vin?
Sorry bud meant to say Hyundai , will edit that
... and that was 26 years ago tonight WTF did that go ???? hard worn thin and just popped through ...) and box back in by nine to go home
I bought, as I think I said a few weeks back, one of their 20" petrol saws recently ... nicely put together, real easy starter and seems to have plenty of guts - went through the butt of a 9" telegraph pole like it wasn't there, for a trial.
Great story buddy , you got well lucky that day!!!so ........ I am reliably informed (and there's no one more reliable to inform me), by Pam, that on this day 26 years ago I took her out for the first time - on a completely blind date.
Her 'mate' Kevin, from BWW, who ran the workforce, had appeared in my workshop the week before to ask (having been tasked with the job of finding her a single bloke for 'the job'), if I'd consider taking 'the girl from the office' to their crimbo do, as she was fed up of going alone (been divorced 3 years).
I had no idea who she was, what she looked like, etc. - couldn't ever recall meeting her, although I was told I had a while ago.
" what's she like Kev? "
" a good laugh, divorced, 'bout 5' 3", 40, she's alright "
thought about it for a few days and then rang her in the office and said we'd better have an evening out and see if we 'gel' or not - be a bit late at the crimbo do, to find otherwise.
went and picked her up from her place, not knowing who/what was gonna answer my knock at the door
So far, so good.
Took her to a nice local-ish pub and had some grub.
I swear she never drew breath all evening " I was nervous " has always been her defence to that one
says I hardly said anything - couldn't get a word in edgeways
took her home, coffee and more yap, etc., jumped in the Vitesse to leave and the bloody clutch pedal went to the floor
fortunately, being me, I'd parked with a straight exit, dropped it into first, turned the key and she started first flick, as always and drove home with no clutch
Stuck the SD on the ramp the following evening, after I'd closed for the day, expecting to have to change the slave - nope - toggle arm was flapping about in the bell housing - box out and the ball that it pivoted on had punched through the arm
a.n.other arm (from my extensive stock of spares - I ran SDs for a long time
I could and probably still can, dismantle an SD in the dark, with my eyes closed
I’ve no first hand experience with these things but a guy who used to work for me swore by them. He did not swear at them. He had them in a caravan, camper van and a canal boat.
aye, 'spose I was Vin ......
and has always been me they turn to, for anything, in the last 26 years. , with families of their own.
I really miss my V8 SD1oooh look what I just tripped over @Routy56
didn't think he'd have a GM180 box behind THAT !!
love his FLT mast for a single post lift, complete with elevating roof
What a lovely story about SWMBO....so ........ I am reliably informed (and there's no one more reliable to inform me), by Pam, that on this day 26 years ago I took her out for the first time - on a completely blind date.

she had the two kids, who were 11 & 13 then and didn't intend to 'intro' me for a while, but a couple of weeks later I got a frantic call in work one afternoon.
She'd been to pick them up from a friend's place, on a farm, had had to reverse for a truck on their drive and had dropped her Disco's front wheel into a ditch - could I help please?
Get there in my old 'historic' RR classic to find the front end sat on the chassis on the N/S -
ditch was 3 ft deep -
got them nose to nose and short slung 'em, high off my bull bar, so's I lifted it as I went back and had it out in five minutes..
think the kids were more impressed with the bloke in a dirty boiler suit, than Pam was
They've been 'as good as mine' ever since
was an 'interesting intro' for them and me .... TBF they're a great pair of kids who're now pushing 38 and 40
