Those gearbox jacks are the absolute bollocks. I’ve got an identical one, although mine appears to have seen a bit more action! And somebody who was ‘borrowing” it threw the bloody chain away!

Mine is ex council workshop..... £20 The best tool in there is the red Benco Engine stand!

 

[Lancs Lad]

Ohhhhh

There's hardly a better feeling that can be spoken of publicly than filling a new workshop .
That a TS760?

Cracking radial drill I take it you have 3 phase

Single, going for a converter

Single, going for a converter

not so easy with that Rory, unless you go for a full house proper solid state phase inverter, or rotary phase convertor, rather than VFDs .... will be 3 motors to run I'd guess .. suds, lift and main spindle which will require quite a VFD to run it and one each for the other two
be damned near cheaper to buy and run a genny for the limited use you'll probably give it and the odd other 3 phase gear you might acquire.
or have a PTO genny sat, to couple up as needed

Yeah, hopefully it will work out. Did debate going for a 2t machine but went for the 8026 instead

The sign writing looks the part, like its supposed to be there.

Watling sorted the signwriting, works well with the colours, have one on the rear too, weren't sure whether to have numbers on or not though

Yeah, wanted to future proof incase ever went down that route. Was a long weight for hitch and buckets though. Machine been sat in their yard since around the end of may

 

[Giles]

One for l

Never saddle a dead horse

One for lynch and @V8Druid

 

[Brendan]

Looking at the book, does anyone warm their machines up like this?

 

[doobin]

Thats looks like for if it's below -15 celcius. I've never seen it that cold here, but even at minus ten machines don't like to operate. If it's that cold I let the engine warm up on a fast idle for a few minutes then jack it up on the arm and blade and wedge the track pedals. Five minutes of that and it's much better.

Didn't see the top part, should probably read more than skimming
