How daft. Surely they need to reduce the price of E10, B5 and especially E20 to encourage greener motoring and the use of home grown bio fuel. They have reduced the price of all the wrong products. I can't imagine anyone would buy gasohol E10 now as it's  the same price as petrol but contains less energy.

Golden tree snake, they are mildly venomous but timid and considered fairly harmless.

Ho, You Dastardly Dick, you. I can't tell from the photos, How many H.P.? it looks like a 3 metre  tray. is it?Does it have drop down sides?Where abouts will it operate ? Carting what? Congrats, it looks good. Bill


It's a 10hp motor, it feels rather heavy and underpowered, maybe we need to lower the gearing a bit. Yes I guess the tray is about 3m long, the sides are fixed. It's up in Nongbualamphu province, main task is to haul sugar cane about 7km to the local factory.

Could you possibly post some pictures of the front end of the gearbox.
Im interested to see how the belt drive & clutch are mated.
I've been toying with the idea of building something like this myself.

Thanks

Here you go PL. Just financed this one, it cost around B60,000 "new" excluding the engine. It has lights, indicators and electric start. Power to the clutch is transmitted by three V belts, another belt runs to the alternator.

going from Pattaya to bangkok there is a Toyota dealer on the left hand side.  [past the one on the right hand side].  Across the highway from them is a store, cant remember the name, that completely accessorizes cars. GPS [many to choose from, iphone connections, English spoken, etc etc.  good service and great inventory

Sounds good.  So I assume this place is on the East side of Sukhumvit somewhere a little North of Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, does that sound about right?

yep

Boy Air and Sound?
