Pissing rain here for the second day in a row its fantastic sure needed it

Woke up this morning with it pissing down along with lightning all over the place, we got just over 30mm and heard of falls just over the 40mm mark around the place. Started out with the day off till the boss called that one of the other skidders has a flat so I went around to the tyre shop and picked up the spare. Headed 2 hours up the road only to find out we got someone elses spare and ours is nowhere to be found. Five hour roundtrip for bloody nothing :msp_mad: and I get to do it again tomorrow after pinching a tyre off the skidder in the shop for repairs

we always had a spare tyre rimed and ready to go.
these tyres were good ones to change, 2 x 44's of water in each then chains and every one can guess which tyres went down.
rolling chains onto the tyres takes some practice as well.

been pretty much continually bucketing down here. had over 80mm the other night, place is still boggy as hell and the track in is a km of slop. gunna need a couple of b doubles of limestone when it dries out a bit.
had some really nice days tho, today was glorious. drained a few litres of water out of the cruiser doors and got a full 9litre bucket of sand/dirt/gravel and .22 shells out of the footwells!
fair play to 'yota's paint dept. no rust anywhere! LUCKY!!!

to be honest the first shot missed ,but I was only pointand shoot as I was about 10 feet away,bit too close for the scoped 223

I am going to go by the pics and say the old one is externally regulated.

The large wire with the nut is the main power to the battery.

One of those smaller wires will be for the dash light the other no idea could be for a tacho or something like that to make it work you will need to un plug the external reg and plug the wire for the light on the alt to the wire for the light in the multi plug for the regulator and all should work but the clincher is working out what wire goes to the light is there anything on the alt where the wire blog is saying L or R

super 2,,,, sounds like awesome non Chinese horse powers ready to rip into something.
cannot view the vid, (megs finished this month) but know it will be cutting blocks.

actually the super 2 homey looks on par with the little dolmar saw I was given last weekend, can't tell what size is as top cover is missing.

Glad you got it going well Wayne.
Actually, has there ever been a saw you haven't been able to get going???
