Thread: Myford ML7 1956 ... Question on drive belt and Stalling when cutting
06/03/2022 21:32:01

@ Ian Montana,

I like that name. (Big country/State).

If it's not been mentioned, are the belt pulleys secure on their respective shafts, really secure.

Good luck.............

Martin,

I'm left handed, and notice other left handed people instantly.

I'm happy with it too.

Brilliant. Thank you.

It would be good, if having past your car driving test, (Not on the same day). You had to cycle around a busy route.

Then take an articulated vehicle around a off road route (Under supervision), it would enable you to appreciate other

users. I know, wishful thinking.

Nice!

The blue piece looks if it might work in a Wallace & Grommet sketch.

If it has not been mentioned, a Fenn trap, placed in the rat run (Path). It doesn't require baiting.

Poison is OK, but the rat chooses where its going to die, and smell.

It won't be a single rat. it will be a whole family.

Good luck....

What about spiral roundabouts?

No signs to indicate that a roundabout has been 'upgraded' to spiral.

Thread: Do you "still" enjoy driving?
29/12/2021 22:14:16

I enjoy driving, Attempting to retain the skills that have developed over the years. As per Peter (Thread starter).

Usually local driving, shopping, hospitals.

This Christmas, did the motorway experience, Stafford to Guildford and return, not the same day.

Southbound: M6, M42 , M40 & M4 ~ 170mls.

I don't like "Smart Motorways".

I must say, the Highways dept. have done a great job, in connecting the above mentioned motorways.

80 in February, and that's not the speed.

Thread: Music on TV Programmes.

Totally fed up with the noise/ music. I have had to invoke the subtitles.

However even they can block out important details.

Never mastered lip reading.

You give the horsetail a good thrashing before applying SBK, Roundup and/or diesel.

It needs to be well bruised. Enjoying it, isn't compulsory.(The thrashing.)

Thread: Hermes. A Company in Total Confusion!
05/10/2021 19:14:17

Last month, I purchased an item off eBay. Hermes claimed the had posted it through our letter box at a certain time.

We were in, but nothing came through our letter box in the from door. We are ten feet/ three metres from the main road. House name on the gate and on the house.

We have CCTV.

After many emails to the Seller, we got a refund. The item was £6.

I'm sure the seller thought we were on the fiddle.

My thoughts were: Cheap Courier, expect failures, but don't expect us to fund them.

Thread: Screw cutting advice ml7
07/07/2021 19:40:30

Hi von dutch,

If the thread tool is held in the tool post and mounted on the compound slide, adjust the slide to suit the mark

on your dial,

I use a piece of threaded rod to mount the thread start indicator, with a nut either side. Easy to adjust.

Good luck, Bear..

If so, welcome back.
