Thanks for posting, I will ring the saw owner and confirm, if he is up to looking at the marks on the bar.

Thanks for the tip. I dont know the thread pitch untill I pull the nipple,then my mate will make one.

Add another one to your list.

Do you know the thread size? When I needed a nipple for my smoothbore .58 I ended up ordering a few from an Aus bookshop via ebay, these bods: https://viceroybooks.com.au/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Nipple

Voluntarily taking regular cognitive tests to prove to the smooth brains he is not loosing his marbles. If he refused to have regular cognitive tests you smooth brains would ask what is he trying to hide. Acknowledging that at his age there is an increasing risk of "losing his marbles" should be lauded as responsible yet somehow those so blinded by hate manage to twist it to suit their own pathetic agenda. Jog on Shoe size.

Not spoilt for choice in the 8" diesel tracked variety though? 4 off the top of my head, one of which is hybrid?

Aggressive feed until the top roller shears off its hydraulic motor, as happened with a few I know of.

Go with the thicker option if you don't want cauterised fingers every throw

Archer and Husqvarna do bars that will fit the Efco, I think A095 fitment (Oregon ID)

I just tried the reset button, it's a AP200, this is what happens when connected and switched on, plus took battery apart to try what Kram suggested, but over my head, not have the brains to understand how to test each battery without pulling the whole thing apart!

looking for a 15 inch 325 x .050 that takes 64 link chains as I have a buncn of them new that I kept / SP33G. Not sure if I had them for a 16 inch bar or 15, sold the saw two year ago.

The cocoons are very similar, only the caterpillar's differ. I've not witnessed the caterpillar and have only gone on what the customer has detailed. I've ask them to send me photos of the pest in the sporing for a formal iD. My control advise was to remove and destroy, as they could return again, and again, and again. thank you for you communication, it is much appreciated.

What did we do before google street view 🤣 looks like a huge Oak tree, maybe a Ash tree and a plum tree. Not sure the possible plum has been taken down but the other 2 (maybe3) have

The Stihl cuts well, I also use Panther chain from chainsawbars.co.uk - if you get the unguarded then no bumper links to make filing the depth gauge difficult. Not tried Oregon, didn't know they did 1/4.

I renewed with Trust so they still have my CS38 cert, no further questions. Looking at HSE news roofers keep falling off roofs, but there was a tree bloke recently who fell trying to get down from a stuck mewp so falls from height are a hot topic.

To me Oak has quite a distinctive vinegar like smell. Judging by the end grain in that last of the first lot of photos of yours I'd be surprised if that wasn't Oak. If you think you may have a mixture of logs then maybe some of it is Poplar. Superficially quite similar to Oak when it it gets big in diameter, the bark especially. I've a vague memory of it smelling sweet when fresh cut, but I could be wrong, it's been a while.

Had to check it out on Honeys, must be good if it's a game changer... "The Samson Zing-It 1.75mm Throwline is a game-changer for professional arborists, ..." but then it goes on "easy to handle and maneuver, reducing fatigue during long hours of use. " Something definitely wrong if you're at the throwline for hours, get a ladder instead. It's out of stock anyway so I'll have to make do with something else.

Yes....would need to change complete recoil assembly and flywheel as a matched set. That soft starter is shite anyway.

Not had any oak before so not sure how it should smell. But it’s got a sweet smell to it. Maybe a mixture of logs 🤷‍♂️ One of them were huge, I’d imagine that was oak.

I was thinking he could swap flywheel, starter, cover, the whole shooting match and convert back to normal C type of saw.

I've just watched a Youtube short where a guy plugged his AP300 into the charger every day for 9 days before it started accepting charge again. Another possibility. Sadly I found no mention of a reset button on your battery but don't give up; as you say earlier it's a lot of money - I was looking at £230+ for a replacement Ego battery. Let us know Jon

My insurance is do in January, last couple of days broker is asking a lot of questions about working at heights, and where abouts. Never had this before are any of you getting the same.

Sweet like cherry or cat's piss like oak?!

Handsome French Jæger Rifle in .58 cal. First time out with it today,needs a new nipple but its ok otherwise.

Photos below! It looks possible to maybe weld a 'blob' on the top then grind a groove back in with a Dremel for the circlip. The post does not show as a separate part although it has a T27 hole in the top! Just priced it up new £74 with the VAT and shipping, Unless somebody has a complete flywheel and cover assembly then it looks like a new one! I see lots of Chinese starter housings for sale but reluctant to take a risk on those! but £15 complete!! The washer is on after clip to keep it all in position, not as it should be under clip!
