Annual Vet visit today,

Rattled 140 of these threw the crush in good time and without injury. With TB confirmed less than half a mile away we've got our fingers and toes crossed for Friday.

Cleaned up the mess, while the OH checked the sheep. She came back saying the truck made a scraping, flapping noise then went bang, but its quiet now thougho_O

Unbelievably and idler pully bearing seized and snapped the other from its mount.

New housing is 300 odd quid so got a used one coming ebay for £22(y)

With the truck out of action I set about putting the new regulator on the quadbike

hopefully it's rectified its charging issues(y) Although I'm wondering if its nadged the new battery It had only a month ago:cautious:

Several pigs escaped whilst mixing and ate a large portion of the veg i failed to shovel up from above. After they'd got bored Nigel escaped and came to perfume himself (he must have overheard he was due to go down to our neighbour to a young virgin later that day)


And then today 6 weeks after we agreed to buy this from a place in Essex i finally managed to orchestrate the collection. If i had the relevant towing licence i would have bloody got it straight away, but similarly i couldn't afford a haulage firm either.

You do need to get a decent fencer unit.

Quad charging?
If you have a cheap voltmeter connect it across the battery.
Running and on DC volts (the straight line) it should read higher than it does stopped?
Hmm

When I changed the regulator, the batt was dead as its not been charging. so I jumped leaded it, took it for a good run, came back stopped it, started it again and it fired straight up. Grand job I thought (y)

Hour or so later went to it and its flat, there's enough to light the ignigtion but not turn the starter over. Seems the battery isn't holding its charge now:cautious:

Leave the battery connected to the jumper vehicle overnight (or during the day if you feel safer). Also worth disconnecting it from the quad if you suspect the quad is draining the good battery, negative wire is best to disconnect.
The quad alternator wont take a dead battery back, but the jump leads will be milder than hammering the poor little battery on a charger.

Forgot to say, run the jump lead vehicle if you want to shove another bit into the quad battery.
