Hi all

I'm not sure if i've showed this safety governor from an elevator in Sheffield Polytec before, A friend of mine was involved with making the safety brakes electronic many years ago, I believe two of these were removed as being redundant, The contractors asked him if he wanted one as they were just going in the rubbish!

A few years ago my mate sold up upon retirement and hada house built up in Scotland as he liked stalking Stag in the highlands, Anyhow, He asked me if I wanted it as he didn't want to take it with him so it became a plantstand in my back garden!!

I need to break out the sand blast and repaint it!!

Another Rusty item I was given some years ago, I think this was a (home made) polisher, My mate that got it for me said the previous owner used it to polish new cutlery on a peacework contract in his shed, This is what he used!, I was going to convert it in to a grinder, I bought new bearings as they all were shot then forgot about it!

I've no idea where I put the bearings!, Paid a little over £30 for them off fleabay years ago!!

Don't.

It's the automatic gearbox, I've tried a load of things and it's just not having it.

Then there's the fact the previous MOT was fake, it's missing the rear drive shaft for the back axle which is an MOT fail, the emissions are shocking ect, ect, ect.
