Acquired of off the Bay of Fleas and collected it yesterday.
It had run for one bidding cycle and wasn't purchased, so I put in a bid and won it for £103.00, it's been dry stored for about 2 years.
The condition appears to be very good, hopefully a diamond in the dirt, a good clean, some cable and crossed fingers....

I block and tackled mine apart, drained the oil, and it was all good, then put the oil back in. Worth checking.

The guy I purchased it off, bought it of a retired blacksmith and tried to teach himself to weld, but trying to use a 13amp plug to power it...........it kept tripping the breaker.... so he put it in the shed and left it.
No surprise there really, but the outside looks in good condition apart from the dirt, so a good clean is required.

Tell me about it, reset a trip switch 15x today before hard wiring an extension cable into a fuse box.
An hour later I'd grilled the extension cable, ho hum, not mine...

Last week it was a case of being in the right place as I saw the electric people had there truck out in the lane working on the poles so I asked what do they do with the old poles. There reply was we sell them do you want some. I bagged a couple last week and yesterday they were back and I aquiered another 10 making 12 in total and 4, 8to9 foot pieces where they had been cut down still perfect for gate posts. I am using 2 for mother raised area outside the green house. Luckily I had an old trailer chassis sat in the field they dripped them straight on. I don't think it was bad all for 60 squid. They look a lot longer laid down. Now I got a pole barn idea coming on later. I might have to do a posting about building it.

Up here I believe they give them away, but there's an unofficial waiting list and you have to 'be in the know'......

£65. Not sure if that’s a good price but the indicators are pretty mint.
Metric radius gauges I needed too and they are Draper made in west Germany.
there was a lovely wooden “Union” machinist wooden toolbox there but the lady wanted £80.
she said she let another wooden machinist toolbox go with all the tools in it for £80
Looking at the condition of these tools
I’d say they probably had a bargain.

Just been to inspect a Fog 3 ton 4 post lift.
It's not mine yet, but need to go back with a trailer.
50% deposit put down, so it will be mine soon.
Happy days.

I have seen them on tv it is some kind of game, they sort of run a bit and attempt to toss them into the next field, it seems to keeps the tourists happy for a while.Up here I believe they give them away, but there's an unofficial waiting list and you have to 'be in the know'......
