I bought one earlier this year at a good price from our former chairman.  It will get used when I remove the diesel engine and put the petrol engine back.  It will then be passed on to my nephew on permanent loan and the one he risks his life with can go back to his track car friend.

I am about to pass on a 5mb diesel flywheel and housing that was in the pile for scrap.  I got the engine when it was advertised locally as being scrapped. It had been stood for years without a head on it.  I also have the injector pump for this engine if anyone in the NW can make use of it, no charge, just glad to get it out of the way.

Reminds me of  a garden roller that literally did the rounds, basically a large concrete lump with a tubular metal bar through it.
It was in the garden when my sister moved into her house. Brother-in-Law used it. Then I borrowed it.
Interesting getting it into the back of a Transit, by reversing upto a grass mound and utilising a scaffold plank !
My Brother borrowed it off me, two of us walking it through the streets.
And so it went on. if you borrowed it, it was yours until someone else wanted ?

Sounds about right, it differs from a 'club-pool' of specialist-tools. No need for "They should..." or students of human-nature to see why it succeeds.
