just wondered, did you used to work for reilly seen some of your pictures with reilly tele, i got mine from reilly had it now just over two years, once i beat the concrete off it its been okay pump same as yours its difficult, not to get drawn into a price war, i price loads of jobs i lose more than i get because someone esle is cheaper than me, oct was a good month i done 26 jobs but nov looking shit only done six so far, get though this winter then things will start looking up |

teletubby | 11-16-2009 | reply profile send pm notify |
hey there mate, yeah she reminds of old wibsy sometimes. probably not as much black smoke, but almost. been a good first month really. better then i expected anyway. been tinkering with a few little things here and there on the old girl but pretty much up to speed now. you mean a 5 inch double ender? i've got 1 as back up for me boom pipes but she can stay on the back as far as i concerned. hope you are keepin busy over there Brendo and goin easy on that new gearbox! |

nice one teletub -good to see your up and runnin now, bet the pump dont make it off tick over now the meters runnin!!! So whens number2 appearing? all the best |

Mr wibau | 11-16-2009 | reply profile send pm notify |
hey mate it is easyer on the boom if you run the double before running a pipe line. yeah i am always busy glad to see you are. |
||
teletubby | 11-17-2009 | reply profile send pm notify |
cheers murf. number 2 is a long way off mate but if number 1 starts earnin enough who knows? brendo is there that much different goin from a 4 double ender from the boom to the pipeline tho? i just go straight from boom to steel when i need the extra rubber on the end. do mean its harder on the boom cos it has to absorb the kick? |
||
pudg | 11-17-2009 | reply profile send pm notify |
tele. if it was me and being you will be needing that pump to last you I would always attach some type of rubber between the boom and a rigid pipeline you just cant see the long term damage being done to all your pins and bushings and pipeline hangers and so on,just another mans opinion but one with your business in mind, over time those days of that boom absorbing that shock will eventually start to show. |

Mr wibau | 11-18-2009 | reply profile send pm notify |
hey buddy yeah any type or size of rubber is better, it is very hard on the boom to do it that way. got to look after the old girl. but she is your rig BOSS, does that sound good mate. |
