Good morning daily

[supersparky]

Shirley, you are right about the grass growing at the mo'. I only mowed ours last week and it is getting pretty long again. We have had nearly 70mm of showers since last Tuesday.
Bruce, is it shags/ cormorants that are getting into your yabbie pots?
Has anyone heard from Robert not Bob or Molly lately?

[BruceS]

I think a combination of all of them David.
Even the yabbies know it's too dangerous to come out in daylight hours.
I baited fresh at about half an hour before dark, went around them by torch at 11:30PM & got a 'bunch', then again half an hour before sunup & got another 'bunch'. I just went around at 11:30AM & got 2! admittedly it was 'stale' bait.
I'll rebait tonight just on dark & shift to a new place. I'm sure there are more "bunches"!

Gearbox off, pressure plate removed.

There is a strip of friction plate material "glued" to the flywheel and pressure plate. No visible heating to either surface. Wire brushed, roughed with a little bit of sand paper.

Need to buy a new friction plate.

Maybe use a brass button or graphite inlaid friction material, then you really know you have been over working the clutch the smell from the graphite gives you a warning you are working it too hard, the brass button one will shake your teeth out if you work it too hard

We use a tin of cat food in our crab pots, punch a few holes around the top & it last a few days only thing you need gloves it does start to stink after a few days.
Bruce at least you don't have lawns to mow, I did get the front yard completed in a couple of really light showers, started on the street & the rain came down heavy, turned the mower off, washed the grass catcher, returned the full green bin to holiday neighbours house to be emptied tomorrow & it stopped, so a bit wet I put the mulcher thing on the mower & finished the job.
Now the suns out with grey clouds floating around, this is what the weather has been like last week 10 days.
Hopefully we will bowl tomorrow.

Nup. It's only done 14,000 ks. Been balanced and looks brand new. The friction plate not so brand new.

Good idea Jon?

Do they still have that system at all these days?

Bruce, what a good idea.

I have a hand pallet fork lift and stick it in the front of the bus.

It hoists the engine up a little and then I rest it down on wood that straddles the fork lift wheels.
I need to shift the blocks around to clear the axle.

They stopped using this system when they improved the brakes Dottie

I read up on it a bit. Was a very early idea by DAF way back when Jesus was a baby Unisex.
