Anything ...absolutely anything but Christmas songs I cannot stand the fu£5&ng things !!!!!!!

I have the guide which I got a few years ago, but decided I should spend more time on freehand filing and never used the guide! I think like you, for the 1/4 chain it would be better without.

looks like turkey oak to me ....

This is true, we have lost all the concessions that Thatcher won for the UK, we would start again as a new member including things like taking the Euro. Once out, no going back under the same terms and conditions. If the politicians (listened to the current 'will of the people') worked to go back again I reckon all our past membership would give is a fast track membership. The Brexit vote was a hastily thought thing to appease the Tory back benchers giving Cameron a hard time, his gamble failed, and as they say, act in haste, repent at leisure

I've learned, measure the bits because they are not always on size. For the small Stihl chains, no one sells a 3.2mm bit specifically for chainsaws, however a worn 4mm bit, works very well. Theres also 3.2mm bits in most diamond bit sets. I got a load of them from amazon. I did try with the fancy guides that screw on the tool but its much better free hand.

There doesn't look to be much in the way of BMS electronic circuit board in there, but it maybe behind the charge level lights and reset knob, I will strip it again and look for it.

When you get the digger only slew clockwise, if you go counter clockwise the cab will fall off!

Good idea! I've got a Dremel and I think some 4mm rotary Granberg bits, I'll give it a go! Just got to get the battery up and running.

Theres equal chance its just flat. A lot of packs do not have any fuse or mosfet capable of disconnecting the packs, often connections go directly to the tabs and the BMS is only there for charging and monitoring.

Load of poplar, to me the smell was a bit 'sheepy',

I didnt have anywhere decent to rest the camera so this is not a great example.. I did miss on the second tooth but no harm done to it. VID-20251212-WA0004.mp4 Rotary grinder is good for these. Razor sharp and better than a file will get it. You only need to concentrate on the angle and let it work a couple seconds per tooth. Move it just a little so the bit wears evenly. I hold the chain in one hand and also use that to advance the chain, it works really well but you could do it on a bench etc.. This is the only decent cordless option, Milwaukee M12BLROT. https://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/milwaukee-m12-blrot-0-12v-brushless-rotary-tool-body-only

Yes sorry, I was thinking about buying second hand parts.

Sounds like Land Rovers business strategy!

Correct! It has a torx end but I didn't see a purpose, I haven't stripped it down fully yet as it didn't show a replacement shaft on the parts diagram. What I was looking at doing was to bore the plastic starter piece (number 23) down by 5mm or so and machine a new groove in the shaft for the clip. Next job is to see if the shaft can be removed or is moulded into the cover.! Thanks for the offer on the machining.

Yessireebob. (Sorry) This is a new one to me but a superb song. I love the line ‘You big talking’ man’

Do you like Johnny Cash?

I don’t listen to music in the sense you do, it’s just ambient when I drive or watch telly. I like country for a couple of reasons, 1: in the 70s when I was growing up and you had little choice what radio stations you listened to, country was mainstream, Dolly, Kenny Rodgers, Dr Hook and others were in the charts and on tv all the time. 2: I enjoy the storytelling aspect of it, it has a beginning a middle and an end plus often a moral lesson. rather than just a nursery rhyme type jingle on repeat. It’s not all I listen to, but it’s certainly a part of it. Heres Kenny handing out some life lessons.

I think the BMS has disconnected the battery, the small voltage you see is an ephemera of the bms connections. If so nothing will happen. If the battery was just flat the sudden rush of current would probably melt the wires you jumped the two batteries with, after all the 40V is 3 times what a car battery will zap if you touch the terminals together and a lithium ion battery has much lower internal resistance. I've had similar on a cheap ( but useful) Ferrex 40V grinder battery. It was one cell out of the 10 that had failed. I made the mistake of not de soldering the BMS to get at it and struggled to pull the bad cell out from the nickel strips it was spot welded to. Knowing what I do now I would take it to our repair cafe with a new cell with solder tags ( about 6 quid) and get one of the electronics experts fit it. If I am right the other 19 cells will be good. I recycle them by taping 4 together, adding a usb charger with type C charge port and protected usb output as little power packs.

So the broken part is no 14 in this diagram, the cover with the fixed shaft. 22 and 23 are the spinny bits and are retained by 24/25 that sit in the broken circlip groove. The shaft has a torx end but looks like its only for assembly purposes? Does the shaft remove from the plastic cover? I might be able to repair that easily, or turn a new one on lathe. Another option, if you measure and draw the part up in a CAD program, you could get a new one machined quite cheapily with https://jlccnc.com/ I've not used them myself but I know of somone who was prototyping a climbing device and he got them to make the parts.

The door in that scene makes me laugh. Fck off great locking mechanism and then swings open like it's made of cardboard.

I would fully expect such a move would bring out the worse kind of reaction,, and almost certainly result in a chaos that would be uncontainable.

I used to listen to Bob Harris Country ('folk, roots and Americana') driving home from Bury Smallbore in my fabulous little Vitara. I can still remember a song about a crofter dismayed at Londoners buying them up for leisure. Searched and searched. Never found it again. Think about it often.

Not in the way that describes. If your going to try connecting the battery to anything to "jump start" it, it should not be another battery or high current device, it needs to be done with a current limit. This sort of thing, but it will need power from an 18v battery or similar https://www.amazon.co.uk/POFET-Buck-Boost-Programmable-Adjustable-Automatic/dp/B0D93WBZ7F There are more expensive ones that power themselves but for a one off use... https://www.amazon.co.uk/adjustable-switching-precision-charging-interface/dp/B09C8MT4KM You need to have it on constant current mode, 100mA. After 5 seconds, measure if the battery has taken any charge. Once its up to 20v, try it on the stihl charger. Fully charged is 42v.

I’m sorry I had a fight in the middle of your black panther party.
