Mark Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Gentleman and Ladies Myself and stollyriddle have a BIG favour to ask, here goes; We will be down at the War and Peace show from the 4th July (as normal) sometime from then on we hope to change the gearbox in the stolly as there is no reverse gear, for this we require some lifting gear i.e. WLF or such like (Mike,Mark,Vince)?? to lift the old one out and the new one in, plus some willing and knowledgeable hands, also we would like Lee or Harry to film the whole episode as a "How to" for HMVFTV it should make for some good footage and choice language no doubt!! In return we have on offer a beer tent stocked with Stella :beer: (2 barrels of course) tea, coffee :coffee: and food etc. some good banter, friendship and hopefully a stolly with a reverse gear at the end of it. If anyone would be up for this please run like hell now, no seriously if you can help we would be ever so grateful for the assistance and hopefully all gain some knowledge as well. :thanx: Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Blimey did I say the 4th I meant the 10th July, I was thinking about American Independance day. The same question still stands though plenty of time. :tup:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poptopshed Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Having removed the gearbox on Grumpy's Stolly, I would suggest a big ball of string for tying spanners to wrists and the workshop guide. It lists step by step jobs for man A and man B and the tools needed. Worth its weight in gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
