And another of the one I used to drive. They are a lot of fun on our narrow roads. We have single lane roads for two directional traffic, with 60mph limits. Your expected to drive at a speed below that suitable for the road. The expression on peoples faces when they meet this coming round a corner straight at them is hilarious!

I made some changes to the back, by removing the roll down curtain and adding a folding panel so we can see out the back. Once on site you just pull the end of the fly rope and close the gap. Notice the old petzl basic ascender at the bottom to hold the rope tight. Good use for old kit, and the best use for fly rope I've found yet!!

The new chipper is more powerful so I had a lot of dust blowing back out. I added vents in the roof and that has solved the problem. (no pics) I still intend to get white plastic boards to cover the plywood as I know it looks like cr*p Function over beauty, for now anyway.

Tophopper I hopped over from the tree free zone, I don't think this has got much to do with chainsaw petrol.

That little scrapheap cost me 1.300 euro's to buy and during the 1,5 years I had it, it cost me 3.500 more to keep it on the road (talk about value for money).
Never had more FUN with a car than that one.
Sold the bugger and after more than one year I met the friend of the guy I sold it to. Know what he told me???
Great car, my friend had no problems with it what so ever. Auch.

AHHH Old timer pic from a logging tractor we had in the past.
A bucher (austria or swiss made) 4x4 tractor on 15"wheels 3 speed and low/high gear. 4 cilinder diesel. PTO right middle side. We bought it as 'scrap', only axles, transmission, engine. We rebuild it with a homemade cab, PTO driven hydrolics, hydrolic winch, system flatbed (plain bed and also as shown in pic a turnable log rack for long logs), and a watertank.
Here we are transporting a 15 meter dead oak, 25 km trip to the mill.

/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif Tophopper,
The thread fron Ryan in the Overflow/chainsaws and such (not the tree free zone, my mistake, sorry) started out as a gas thread, but after Ronald and I started talking about veggy oil and cars it occured to me that I was abusing the patrol thread by rigs.
So my next post on that thread was a diversion to this one and on this one a post as a reply on your post over there:

I think we are here in the right place to go on now (with our rigs).

Is that a fordson 6 cylinder? Looks in pretty good shape to me, better than most of the ones I've seen on the roads in your area!
Truck looks good too, not dents or rust! Remember if you want to lose the spare wheel, I can get you a nice locking box that will fit there and will carry three 20L jerry cans plus oils and other nasties that you don't want in the cab or the back.
You don't need a spare wheel anyway! If you get one flat at the back you can still drive and one flat at the front you just steal one off the back! Works a treat!
Nice to finally meet you last weekend, hope you enjoyed the show.

i might be interested in the tool box
the tractors a david brown 1200 selectamatic. its not in bad shape really, just the bodywork is in much need of sorting, but that will blast down and spray up pretty easy, need to replace the wheel arches though.
