    The JLG 40F Boom Lift Dilemma

    Thankyou sir, It can be a bit of a bugger to start on a cold morning but is indeed a bonny wee thing. That said its better with the leak repaired on one of the delivery valves and appears quite robust (of which in the hands of our people needs to be lol).

    The JLG 40F Boom Lift Dilemma

    You are indeed the oracle kind sir and i will take you up on your most generous offer. You are also correct regarding the engine that is indeed a Deutz (i found this baked on oil covered plate whilst having a route round): Next on the agenda is this there chain?

    The JLG 40F Boom Lift Dilemma

    I suspect it will sir and will do so when next up there which will be tomorrow evening. Big job I’m guessing is the retract chain has snapped (at least I gather that is what it is for and does look a bit challenging). very much appreciate your interest and help and advice though sir that is...

    Good afternoon from England

    Its green for a reason though sir as it rains more often than shines up here but of course you would be welcome to do so if you ever found yourself in the North East of England. Mind, "if it aint raining, it aint training" as they say :)

    Good afternoon from England

    Its a great sport and would recommend it to everyone as its not only most sociable but becomes rather addictive and is no foregone conclusion as there is an awful lot of sky and not a lot of clay up there :) I do trap shoot but like the randomness of sporting, Thanks to all for your welcomes...
