Hoping for a full recovery.
Thanks to all, surgeon said the tendon took some 'chunks' of kneecap with it when it went into orbit, but otherwise a textbook re-attachment. He did mention drills and installing anchors, so I suppose a shout-out to DeWalt or Milwaukee is in order. He did mention that being in (sort of) good shape for the age helps recovery, so another shout-out to Husky, Stihl, Echo & Fiskars! Apparently looking at 6 weeks crutches with increasing knee rotation starting at about 2 weeks, then formal 6 week rehab once off the 6 weeks of crutches. Cannot honestly say that I'm looking forward to it, but without the muscle attached a one-inch leglift was impossible, soooooooo yeah, pretty sure the Doc's orders will be followed pretty closely.
Thanks again for the well wishes!:):)

gooder evening boys & whatnots..

I stripped the shredder in quicker time as it’s probably 4th time 🥱.

It was as i finally thought, (process of elimination). The semi seized shaft caused enough resistance, the circuitboard thought it had a blockage/jam and then cut the power to the motor.
I wirewheeled & sandedI as much as I could and then greased it up. It now works as it should . “For a homeowner shredder 😴🥱

Btw I thought you,d be wanting the dirty shaft pic's. 😉

Good evening boys

I brought 40Lts of bar oil for £55.98 that arrived this afternoon, as it’s not getting any cheaper so I thought I,d try and make a saving by buying now.,
😉

Edit: as the pic says £95.98 not the 55.98 I some how missed when i posted it

New tires. Cheap-o ones that I actually really like. I had them on my last truck that got hit. $650 shipped. They do excellent in the snow and mud. Very thick tread.
Nice! What exactly are they? Did you look into the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 at all?
