    Massey 240 engine locked

    Hi folks, thanks for the help with the starter motor, it came back from Rotating Electrics Yarmouth fixed and has been fitted. When the key was turned, it turned the engine a very short way and then the engine stopped turning, feels like a dead stop and the starter won't turn it further. Its...

    Dysect on young lambs

    The data sheet says not to use Dysect on lambs under one week old & it doesn't work well if fleece is shorter than 1cm. Hope that helps. Lardy

    Lamb vaccines and adverse reactions?

    Advice please. Are there more likely to be side-effects in young lambs from Heptavac than from Ovivac? The situation is I've got a small batch of late lambs to vaccinate & I need something with pneumonia in it. If I use Ovivac I'll be throwing quite a few doses away because of the bottle...

    Lamb post mortem

    We've always a few ticks but I wouldn't say its worse than usual. The dogs & cats come back with them from the rough areas & woods but the parks are well grazed & we don't normally get many on the lambs.

    Lamb post mortem

    I should confess. We usually vaccinate the lambs with Ovivac but they weren't done this year (family illness). The ewes are all fully vacced. The lambs in this batch are about 10-12 weeks. Whatever we do - vaccinate or not, we always seem to lose one really big "healthy" lamb at about this age...

    Lamb post mortem

    Yes - that's been a worry here this year so we dosed them a week ago (oramec) & moved to clean pasture that's only had cows on for over 18months. That was when the first one died. I thought due to the change to richer grass. It hasn't been warm here - cold and wet!

    Lamb post mortem

    I've had a couple of lambs die suddenly. Put the first one down to "there's always one" but this morning I opened up a second one. I'm no expert (understatement!) but I reckoned I might tell red gut, pulpy kidney & pneumonia from each other so worth having a look. The guts looked pale, grey &...

    Tracing through ScotEID?

    It was sold to me from an old guy who does "glimmering" while he's waiting for his niece to finish ag. college. He bought several batches of ewe lambs from a market a distance away. Then I bought some off him a year later. I know his holding number but not exactly when he bought them. I was...

    Petrol Post Drivers or other easy fencing ideas?

    Just tried to contact my usual casual labour lad to get some new fence posts put in. His other half informs me he fell in love with a Finnish lass & ran off to Finland ! It's wooden posts & wire. Don't want to replace the whole fence - just the rotten ones. It's on ground you can't drive to &...

    Robust watch that's not HUGE?

    Reckon the Mrs is worth it -- just bought her one of those. :D If the Argyll rain kills it I might run to the similar one that's more waterproof. Thanks for the advice everyone.

    Robust watch that's not HUGE?

    Mrs Lard needs a recommendation for a small or medium sized watch that's waterproof and tough. She has small wrists. She's out in all weather training & working the dogs (& the weather we get here you'll be as wet some days as you would be going swimming) so it needs to be properly waterproof...

    Cleaning Diesel?

    I It's clear with "frogspawn" . It was floating but I'd disturbed it dipping the tank to see how much's left in it. From what everyone's saying sounds like I should use it in the MF35 & try to source some new stuff for other uses?!

    Cleaning Diesel?

    If there was a garage I wouldn't be asking! Thanks though, point taken.

    Cleaning Diesel?

    Are biocides only good for prevention or can I clean up old diesel & use it safely? Does filtering get rid of everything? We've problems getting fuel delivery to the back of beyond just now. We've got an old plastic tank that has sludgy white diesel in. Wondering if I can clean it up well enough...
