Have to say; it’s not the worst job; I had to get bearings pressed off and on; and is a great lesson in how to deal with other issues such as tightening belts etc. was def bearings as knocks and vibration gone. How long these bearings last is anyone’s ; prob not as long as it’s my first time; with the amount of bearings I have in kit; Im looking at a hydraulic press.

Love to know the price of that

That was its original bar from one of the first 500i , it’s had two nose sprockets on ..one a few weeks before 3 t of ash pinched and rolled on it popping the saw apart anyway.. I know years back I had 200ts which had the spark plugs helicoiled back in … they never lasted though , I’d just buy a new head or saw.

Clearly not oiling right, you need to focus on your maintenance regime before blaming the lack of a sparkplug for a lacklustre performance... 😂

Something tells me that a fresh sparkplug might not change it's fortunes overnight...

I never found the spark plug on this one… would not like to guess where it went 🫣

Ah yes, I should have read further...

Strange occurrence on my oldest 2016 MS 261 it didn't just unwind to my knowledge, it was running great but suddenly the sparkplug popped out and saw dead. I tried red loctite, that lasted until the saw got properly hot again. Is there anything else I can do to fix the sparkplug in, tap out a wider hole or some permanent metal glue perhaps before consigning it to the parts bin ? I could do with an old near valueless saw to keep at my wood storage for occasional use. It's only ever been run on Aspen On the plus side, I now have a damn good excuse to buy a new saw, been over two years since I did that Cheers Stuart

Generally East maybe . Here in West Sussex its Toby . When I was keepering I had a fox get into a partidge pen . Killed all 50 odd birds in a frenzy biting the heads off them . Must have taken one .

Thats mad... Robots quoting work against us now! Rise of the machines! That being said, an AI program to manage TPO applications wouldn't go a miss

I’m guessing stoat mate

Not sure if this is the best place either, but honestly that sounds like a really solid service call. Hihi

Yes, true, though I will drive it in reverse for the most part which will limit that and can open the infeed to lower the weight on the drawbar. Jockey is due for replacement anyway so I might look at fatter model. The original one fell apart very quickly and the current one is a design that folds up as you wind it. Bit close to the truck and the winder has been hit a few times. I'm sceptical about the longevity of the control box given heat and vibrations.

That’s Charlie isn’t it? I left the headless one out for 36 hours and it moved a few times so it’s something strong enough to drag a chicken but not strong enough to carry one. And only a bit of it eaten. Littler nibbles than a fox would take I’d have thought.

Nice. I always feel the jockey wheel digging in on soft surfaces is going to be the big problem with that set up.

Fox .

Aye. Very vexing. What’s Toby? I’m too posh to know rural slang.
