  4. I could be wrong, but I recon they'll be fine, a quick search has a average saw running at 350F or 180C These would be an option with a smooth outer surface rather than ribbed, and you've only got to buy 2. TC Skeleton Oil Seal Ring Rotary Shaft Sealing FKM Double Lip Seals ID 11mm-19mm WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Type: TCSkeleton Oil Seal Rings. Due to factors such as lighting, angle, display ect, there may be slight differences between the photos and the actual product. Features:...
  5. I'd reiterate the following points, to Hkarb, especially: Whilst the 'battery pruning saws' typically only have 5-10m/s chain speed, given the inevitable occaisional (and anticipated inexperienced) one-handed use, they pose a different, but rather more serious hazard to users, than the top-handled 2stroke equivalent chainsaws, IMO. Cut resistant gloves* and ballistic cuffs and x2 should be a mandatory minimum, and supplied with each unit, IMO. After a year's occasional pruning use of the Makita saw, I'm glad I didn't remove it's top guard -it doesn't actually get in the way, at all, and adds safety. The Milwaukee M18 Fuel saw is a wildly more capable unit (than even the GTA40) , but has too much torque and 'grabiness' to safely cut on the TOP-side of the bar, even with two hands firmly braced on it! And as such, the top hand guard is very useful feature . Never bothered trying the Dewalt unit, but I'd be very interested to hear how 5thelement has found his GTA40, after a few months use ? *After a fair bit of research, I have concluded that the following gloves have very high 'cut' (and wear) resistance, and unbeatable value for money: Portwest A645 Green cut nitrile foam glove. Not too difficult to obtain, but very strangely not used in our industry... Really sorry, I just don't know how to post a link to them..

  9. What Steve said. All or nothing. Raising, thinning or isolating is just going to potentially yield a raised, thinned or isolated tree sat on the garage, plus you've messed with nature in the intervening period and let wind through, doing no doubt complex things. Not worth the headache. Man plans, god laughs. And what Steve said about the measuring. My first thought was a screw, a plumb bob and a mark on the floor but whatever. And yes, checking after weeks/months, not years. Better yet, plumb bob, mark on the floor and have the customer check daily. I bet the slope in the neighbours' is recent and something to do with this. What sort of area is this? If you climbed one of the trees and looked left, would you see miles and miles of wind fetch coming off the sea or something?
  10. I was saying the other day how Tesco mobile phone shops are great and the people who work in them saints for spending entire days teaching the elderly to use iphones. So anyway. If the rattles and dummies don't work out, Steve...

    Chain storage

    Yes those pouches are good but you still need somewhere to put them. Halfords were selling a 3 draw metal tool chest a few months back for 25 quid, I got a couple. Ideal for chains, I thought. I then aquired mire lathe tools that needed a home so they are full now! 14L clear plastic tub has most of my chains. Ignore the mess, theres not much space and was charging the car battery.

    Rate my oiler

    I had to look it up. The M25 was started in 1975. Wikipedia says it was finished in 1986 but that’s not what I saw crawling round it the other week.
  25. None of the above. The g30r was built for McCormick by valpadana. McCormick were a mainstream British tractor manufacturer. The g30r was just a badge engineered model to expand their line up.
  26. Ahh right ok thanks. Good job my nesting box is on far trunk.
