A old Army chipping hammer.
WD stamps of 1938 and a number.
Not one wedge held it on.
Boiled up in Citric acid and grinding paste.
The end grain came up well.
36 years! That's lasted well. I end up changing mine probably every 10 - 12 years.Thunderbox in my house started to whiff... so today pulled the boxing off, & found the (36yo) Durgo Valve was no longer playing.
Ordered one from Screwfix, fixed & tightened a couple of pipe fittings - then picked up thr new one.
Bit of silicon grease & popped the new Durgo on - so far the Thunder Room is whiff free.
I'll leave it a day or two before boxing the waste pipe back in - just in case.
Yamaha TRX 850 recommission.
Carb stripped and rebuilt with new Keyster Full carb kits.
Seized calipers stripped cleaned and rebuilt with new seal kits etc.
Fork seals replaced and stanchions polished.
Alarm removed and loom repaired.
Charging system repaired.
New plugs and air filter.
Bits and pieces to get it to MOT standard.
Didn't really charge what we had in it but nice to see it back on the road!.

That was in a mess! Nice work
Mine needs some fettling on the carbs, are those Keyster kits good?
This has been rolling around the stores since we moved 9 years ago, Its a big old lump measuring 55 inches and I was getting fed up moving it around, it would only be a matter of time before it got smashed!
