In the second picture, probably an optical illusion, but the dipper looks bent slightly

So went to move the welfare unit today and after a bit of messing about turns out some mice or rat had eaten through the rear brake cluster wires, plus on top of that the htd5 has one squeaky bottom track roller, which only does it forwards. Can this be lubed or is it new roller time

 

[Russell]

I think you should sell it quick before it starts squeaking in reverse.
I'll give you a grand for it?

I've been renovating the backup work bus.
Got a galv chassis coming in a few months so I'm prepping the body.

You still looking for another one? What did you do with tours in the end?

 

[Russell]

I don't think I've got enough cash for anything worth having so It will probably be a £900 valve chest coming my way soon.

Bit more messing today .... tracks to tree houses ... the brief was "accessible but roughish to encourage them to leave cars at the parking "

In a way it's better with something you know than buying the unknown again

That's it, it was water damage from being left outside that messed it up. Looking at most for sale it seams people do leave them outside so I could end up with it all again. Once the diggers paid for I'll have to treat myself to a new cormidi.
