I thought you were referring to losing a headlight surround on your nice 272 synchro

some people can F off.
I had the morning repairing 2 machines trying to get them out to work, I noticed a car parked in our gateway, turns out it’s a disgruntled hedgecutting customer that has a dyke full of thistles that needs cutting immediately! NOW!
after I was told how useless I was and how we don’t make a good job and that I should of done this job 3 months ago I told them that I would come and do it … in 12 months time! Because that’s how long we usually wait to get paid
 
Cash really is trash..
Strike a good deal with me based on a straight cash transaction for a quick sale, go the lengths of even providing me proof of funding, go silent for a few days and when you eventually do answer tell me that you are waiting for the finance to be arranged!!! :mad::mad:

Have you heard Donkey on Facebook on his videos about the ley-land and the lottery of the braking system and how it might put you over the hedge on one side or the other, your just never know which side!!
those dry discs were a lottery when new we thought that's better than drum brakes you had to book an appointment to stop the new dry discs locked up when you touched the pedal then after the first year the lottery began as said which one would come on first also on the Leyland the pedals flopped about the clutch pedal used to scrape down the side of the footplate making an awful noise even now tractor brakes need more attention by the desighners

Unseen shrinkwrap tied on a pallet.

Chopping them up and burning them this morning as to wet to do Concrete

Didn't see it.. chain bit it stretched it to f**k.

Saw stopped dead wrapped itself around everything. Bar off and choppy choppy.

Daft moment... It had thrown the brake and couldn't get the cover back on.

One of them days.

Was tasked with rebuilding brakes on a 272 years ago. Think they were self energising (or something) as took it for a run down the road to check, braked and slowly ground to a halt in cloud of smoke. Then had to walk back in the rain for my spanners.

Also remember the heat shield between engine and cab was made of wood. 😆
