Yes.
A 250A three phase one where I used to work, when the power went off we'd clonk it over and run the farm off a PTO generator.
I built an alarm system to send me a text when the power came b ... |

...and different MOTs and various other things.
Which I think most people ignore! I often get overtaken whilst I'm doing 70 by a Ranger towing a trailer.
I feel sure that the 2040kg restriction ... |

Ironclad Cold Condition Waterproof have done me well. I need a new set after 10 years use.
Bought them one winter after putting up a load of scaffolding in the snow whilst at university. |

Yes, it would be perfectly possible to do that.
A Puma's alternator is rated at 150A, a TD5 is 120A though I doubt either would come close to that at idle.
You could probably power 800-1000W for ... |

An 80Ah battery is smaller than the standard Puma battery. The standard is a 019 sized battery and you can just (with a bit of fiddling) fit two in the battery box.
There's really not a lot of poin ... |

^^ Did you reinstate the brackets on the 2014 axle?
No, I didn't.
They're still on the old axle sat in a corner.
Didn't seem much point, maybe I'm wrong but the reason for going with a newer ax ... |

I had the recall done on my 2011 110, was never very happy with the brackets as a way of making the end fall off the axle less badly.
When I broke my front diff last year I took the opportunity to ... |

AC for aluminium TIG, yes.
I have a DC TIG that I've tried using on steel bodywork and it doesn't have a low enough current settings.
I've moved over to a MIG and it's a bajillion times easier.
