Today I acquired...........

The SGL208 is possibly a reference number for when you are trying to identify it for the insurance annual inspection

Looks good,my dad was from Fermanagh.many moons ago.

Bagged a youngman 3 way ladder set with pro deck and an abru 3 way ladder from 25 quid yesterday. Covered in paint but only had diy use. Should come in handy especially at over a 6th the cost of new!

A 2 inch thick slab of plastic, I'm guessing HDPE or UHMWPE but I've yet to do any sort of tests.
I found it on the local airfield.

Looks good for the money, a mate of ours has a 850 T5 goes like **** of a shiny shovel despite the mega miles it has travelled.

This has done 190000 barely run in , failed the mot on blue smoke from exhaust so plan is to replace the PCV , an stem seals , drop the oil and flush it and fit some plugs and filters ....

I think Pete's T5 has just done 200k, that is 200,000 pampered, garaged over night miles, it looks like new.

Managed to acquire these 2 little thingimies from the scrap bin at work. They are tapered so the 3 sliders move out as you pull the collar upwards, I think they may be pullers to go into a shaft and work with a hydraulic puller. I suspect they came out of a workshop that overhauled undercarriage gear and other hydraulic components before they came to us. Considered opinion of the fine gents here would be appreciated though. Obligatory mug in for scale (cheated by adding the tape too!) so they ain't

small.

 

[mechman]

Look like adjustable reamers

 

[mpats]

Thats what I thought when I glimpsed them at the bottom of the scrap bin, but on removal the jaws were not formed like cutters and there was no way of locking them in position. However, a wee bit of googling has borne fruit, they are expanding mandrels made by W.G LeCount. Still no idea what I'll need them for but they couldn't get chucked in the scrap.

Very handy if you want to turn thin wall tubing, like dairy tube. I've had to do it in the past and it collapses if you put it in a chuck. These mandrels are not something you would use everyday, but very worthwhile having in the toolbox.

Cheers Ronan, I shall give them a clean up then a coat of ACF50 and squirrel them away somewhere so the misses doesn't keep calling me a hoarder! Might come in handy when I get round to acquiring a lathe.

Are they part of a cunning plan?
