Except when my dad comes home from up north he's going to kill me

you should start a new thread for the rebuild.
do you know who used to own it. does it have any signage on the body

Had a pretty shit saturday, dislocated my shoulder and ripped all the nerves and ligiments off it, a hell of alot of pain and one very useless arm can't move it from my shoulder right to my finger tips its all dead.

that sux. I've done mine in the past and it never came right.
I wish you a speedy recovery

cheers mate have to have an operation to stitch it all back on and reconstruct but can't have that until its a little more stable

just put the missile on the weigh bridge at the dump and it came in at 2000kg bit more than i thought it was gonna be..... but i do have about 300kg of winch hanging on the front

How did manage to do that ???

I assume you were not wheelin' at the time

Injuys of this type realy slow you down ... All the best

na should of gone out in the truck, but instead took the downhill mountain bike out.. its fair to say its not the first time i have needed an ambulance but i guess it wouldnt be as exciting if it wasn't dangerous.

i had a nasty mtb accident on woolsey spur a few years back, had to goto the doc and she said MTB was dangerous.... i said only when you crash she didnt see the funny side.... all the best to get back on the D/H rig soon i know how much it suxs not being able to ride..

yea i was riding radi gargen in vic park its probably about as steep and rocky as it gets pretty nasty crash was wearing full body armour and full face as usual but smashed the armour so it could of been worse, ambulance people couldn't beleive i didnt get the chopper up there

Apart from that didn't get much done

Had another lamb born this afternoon, thought there might have been a twin coming so was going to get a photo of clip of it being born but as you can see she's dropping the afterbirth so it was all over


Love this one of the ewe and dog licking their chops - lamb is not even an hour old there. Was just out there and she's taken the lamb about 150m and over two lowered fences and through a gate or so. Poor guy is only a few hours old and mum's got it doing trecking.


another ewe and her two

so 2000kg less 300kg of winch makes it the same weight as mine

No engine - just parts that I need. Was a good price.

Well, after having some more problems with the Wifes rebuilt tranny last weekend at TePoi, and after noticing emilsification in the ATF while checking the dipstick, i called the dude that did the work on it and tried to ummm and ahhh his way out, blamed the gears not meshing on the "transfer case instead of the Tranny", "the emulsificated water must be coming from a leak in the transmission cooler, cant be the tranny..." but.... "ahhh no i cant explain the cup full of ATF that came out the filler tube"

I told him i was going to change the tranny oil to get the emulsified water out, he asked me to keep a sample of it for their testing. Hes going to be sorry that i did........

Today i got under and pulled the tranny pan off. no emusified water to be seen aside from one little spot, so i ran the dipstick up and down a few times... and it appears the white crap is from the last effort, just they obviously didnt clean out the tube, and each time it dips the stick drags it off the inner of the tube...... ok, that mystery solved........

......... BUT WAIT...... whats this sitting in the bottom of the tranny pan????????????????????????? Tiny iron filings??????????????? surely not, because the non-meshing grinding noise MUST HAVE COME FROM THE TRANSFER CASE, NOT THE TRANNY - (tui moment) - YEAH RIGHT!!!! Not unless they have a teleporter to get from Transfer case to Transmission. I hate to think what the other side of the filter looks like!!!!

Anyway, put all the pan oil into a bottle, scraped the filings up as well and put them with it, sealed the top.... and tomorrow a chap in rotorua is going to get a visit, and i will be expecting my wife to get a courtesy car, for her Jeep to be collected from H-town, and then returned with a PROPERLY repaired Transmission.

Thing is that i dont mind too much if someone ##### something up, hey we all do it, but when the person at hand then wants to try to blame anything and everything in order to absolve himself (or company he represents) from any blame really really gets right up my arse. Hopefully this chap will see it for what it is and do the right thing..................

Sorted my steering and fixed the Wifes door lock.

all i got from skim reading that was something about your wife and a tranny...

saturday did some truck stuff..

sunday i went to my house (still livin at feckin inlaws with timelines pushed back on the extensions) and painted the little girls room pink.. looks sharp... have got a real mission in the next few nights and days.. paint the rest of the internals of the house...
