Arbtruck storage solutions

Just a few modifications/storage solutions for my Landrover Arbtruck

 

Pole pruners and rake mounted on chip flap with quick fists, also a 5lt jerry can holder also does a pretty good job of holding a 2 stroke can

 

Under the passenger seat I've managed to fit a set of jump leads and a bottle jack next to the battery

the bottle jack is wrapped in foam to stop it banging around

 

In the drivers side under body storage box I've got a socket set, spanner role, can of WD40, marking spray and a tool bag

 

Tool bag has most of the things yours likely to need, including some fencing tools for when you need to take down (or repair!) a fence, there is also spare chains for all the saws

 

 

The passenger side box has 2 cans of Aspen, a spill kit and bottle of engine oil

Decided to do something about my old climbing saws that had sat around unused since I got my new husky. They had both been pretty temperamental for some time, and only one would ever work at anyone time.



 

 

I can do most aspects of saw maintenance myself, but I felt these needed something more, so having read good reviews about the work of 'spud' on Arbtalk I decided to send them to him. 

 

Turned out they wanted quite a bit doing to them and the parts replaced included the following: Fuel tank breather, Second-hand Crank, Secondhand Flywheel, Fuel pipes X2, Carb kits X2, Recoil Handle, Crank bearing, SealsX2, Sprocket X2, clutch springs X6, Lower AV buffer, Throttle trigger, Chain-catcher. They were also cleaned through, pressure tested and retuned to run on Aspen

 

 

This will be especially beneficial for these saws as they will be back up saws and may sit for months at a time without being used, which would be detrimental with normal pump fuel.  

 

Slowly making the switch over to aspen on all my saws and hedge trimmers, but this is another post altogether...
