If you're really cashed up, you could always get a 6.6 litre Duramax V8 with Allison auto. The donk was actually designed by Isuzu for GM. Pity I'd need to rob a bank to afford it though.

So was bored at work and decided to see what the fuss about gear drives was about!!! Next thing it's in bits, the clutches shoes have all been destroyed and chunks were floating about the "gearbox". Should I just leave it without the lining on them or replace the pads? As some had lining others didn't!

There used to be a saw builder of some repute who posted on here who could help you with just about anything mechanical. He only charged a BOB or two. Think demand for his services got so great he has no time for AS now.

Advice needed!

1) do I leave this as is or powder coat and rebuild. It is a runner

2) the gear and chain supplied with it don't match as per photo? See how it's munching into the chain? It's supposed to be .404 pitch (041g) how do I determine the gear pitch?

Been looking at getting a compound bow for a bit now and today I bit the bullet and got one, its a Bear authority 70lb and no I don't know a thing about bows! here's hoping I can hit something one day haha
Didn't get much change out of 1k had to get a trigger release arrows and crap I don't have a clue as to what I'm getting myself into, We have an archery club here I'm going to join so I can lean how to use it but yeah something different should be fun lots of skill involved and I'm yet to prove I have haha...

Shoe linings are completely gone, they were not very thick, I am thinking if I have a spare 076 clutch to compare.

Good stuff. They're awesome fun! I just recently got into it as well. Haven't been hunting with mine yet but have a ball shooting an old bag of rags down the farm. Ha ha.

One of my timber customers has bought a new GW petrol, he reckons its a beauty. 1st man I have heard say that, have they improved them.

An old friend has a GW station wagon, had it for at least two years now and she likes it.

Yeah I've had mates keep telling me I should get a bow for years, had one when I was a kid and was in a archery club but that was a life time ago all I remember was shooting at targets of deer and bears don't even remember If I hit the targets haha...
I can sit on my verandah early morning having a coffee and watch fallow deer and the odd pig walk through my yard. One day I may have the skill to make a clean shot with a bow, would only take a shot if I was 100% sure no different to a rifle in that regards just have to be hell of a lot closer with a bow..

Hahaha.

Quite a few months ago the venerable old Defender was off the road and I was running around in a 2.8 hill detector Lolux.

I walked out one morning, went to start it and, bugger, no keys.

Looked high and low, in the house and out, knowing full well they were in the (now ex) partners Mazda ute.

Hmmm. Hot wire it ?

How do i break the steering lock without fecking things ? (it's a mates ute)

I look down and the Deefer keys are sitting on the seat beside me.

Hmmmm, that ignition key isn't dissimilar to the Lolux key.......

Bugger me, it went in, and with a bit of a jiggle it turned and started the Toyota !

The day got funnier as I took a coffee up to the hospital for her for morning tea.
While I was waiting she walked out of the ED and said there was a fire outside !

Sure enough, just outside the hospital the lawn was ablaze.

One of the domestic staff walked out with an extinguisher, so I gallantly took it from her and did my bush fire brigade duty while waiting for the town brigade

Ha ha. That's perfect! Yeah plenty of practice you'll be right to go in no time. I reckon the fitness is a fair part of it. I certainly know it after I've fired a few dozen arrows. [emoji2]

 

[chippy]

I found it to be costly....too many broken and lost arrows....any ideas on how to reduce breakages?

Helps if you hit your target! Hence I use a pretty big target [emoji1]
