Congratulations!

Trouble with those awards......someone always gets carried away.

It was all socially distanced this year and pre-filmed - no knees up.

My lad and his sister were nominated for the work they did for Kingfisher Group and Wincanton Logistics for deliveries of PPE to 138 B&Q stores from
Aberdeen to Plymouth and in Eire in 36 hours from first request.

Been on wi this for awhile, finally got it finished today, found a place to make me some springs.
Done away with the bunjies for the doors on the shearing trailer as they lose tension so had springs made, and made some shocks for the doors aswell.

Just threw a track. Back on now. Took me an hour and a half to sort.

You just have to let the tension off then I push it back on with manitou. A more skilled operator would do it with the digger.

My 8t does that as its party trick and the only way i can find to get it back on is take the pressure off, wedge a fence post against the idler then push it back with bucket then use the forklift. I can never get it back on with the bucket :facepalm:

First time I have lost one off that digger.
Brother kindly knocked one off the old digger (when he was home for a holiday) in the bloody wood jammed up against a tree with a 6 foot deep ditch on the other side.☹

That spring place at Spotland Bridge do just about anything in the spring line . Not bad to deal with either
 
Is that what they're called ? Used to be a very old chap sitting at a bench (one of the owners' father I think ) quietly turning out small springs . He always had a bag of sweets on the bench , and would generously give one or two out to a customer . Sadly , I think he's gone now .
