  3. For who's interested, I finally got some time to strip the saw down and have a closer look at it. All the flexible fuel lines etc. were fine and on initial inspection so was all the wiring. It was only because I had dismantled the saw and the top handle assembly was hanging off the body did the problem show itself. The black wire coming into the handle had broken about an inch inside the sheath and the weight of the dangling handle pulled it out. Otherwise I'd have never spotted it. Luckily just enough wire left to solder the two halves together and it's running fine again. If the fix doesn't last I'll replace the loom but I surprised myself solving it, so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Happy New Year!
  4. Delicate. Lovely work mate.
  5. Great looking truck!!! Dunno if this is of help/interest?
  6. Frosty here, just really got up. Tom has a visa application in for the USA, if he gets it, I'll sell up at Shepshed and Caz and I will live together! My only new years resolution! What's yours? Lie, Caver, Gin.

  8. Check the pipe size to the spool valve, 1/2" or larger and don't use quick connections or compact 90s as they restrict the flow. Plus check the case return pipe is as large as possible, had an old Leyland with a 1/2" return, bored the nut out and made it 3/4" made lowering the loader less like watching paint dry as open circuit means your dumping into the returning high pressure oil.
  9. Does it smell of burnt oil ? Could be getting by the rings or the valve guids ...

  11. We are looking for a climber and people interested in other aspects of countryside maintenance work! If you're just interested in climbing (and have your relevant tickets), do get in touch. But if you're interested in the other aspects too, that would be a bonus. Anyone else who is interested in only the other aspects, get in touch too! We offer a wide range of services across the north York moors (based near Whitby) including tree surgery, tree planting, brushcutting, knapsack spraying. We've got a large planting contract starting soon and its a lot of work! So more than happy to hear from a good number of you. Here's a link to the indeed post for a little more information: Just a moment... UK.INDEED.COM Thanks!
  12. It has always confused me that with more automation, computers, robots, faster cars and tractors, all this tech, that we need to retire at 70 and not let the machines take over, retire at 50.
  13. Looking for a 2nd hand 4th edition ISA study guide, before I drop £100 on one Cheers
  14. did you see the clip of Trump this week moaning that the Ukraine had targeted one of Putins houses, he was very upset, and very much ignored the thousands of Ukrainian homes destroyed by the Russians. I reckon Putin cannot admit to doing badly - he has built his whole persona on being the tough guy - from his calendar shots bare topped horse riding, bear wrestling type things, cannot back down, so yes will keep going at it till spent or till the Russian Generals have a quiet word with him, tower block open window accident style.
  15. More lead in this one, 280g. I'll add a steel ring on each, would have been better to buy them in advance and insert while it was printing.. While I've been trimming hedges today I left the printer on, I now have A pair of Stuka sirens.

    Fungi on oak

    I'm back at this one today. The informationI could find, was that puffballs only grow on dead wood, and will not decay a healthy tree. Here is a better photo showing the position on the buttress root. Short video to show the spores, which are now dark green. VID_20251230_114444.mp4 Please ignore my ladder-hedge cutting safety shoes Should the fungi give any concern to the long term health of the oak? Thanks
  18. Looking for a permanent position in Leeds or close to. Full time ideally but would consider part time on the books. I'm new to it so don't have loads of experience but I've done a bit of subbying as a groundie for the past 6 months or so whilst putting myself through my tickets. I have CS 30, 31, 38, 39, 40, 41. First aid + F. Is anyone hiring, or know of anyone who would be interested? Thanks
  19. I ment to say round here it's a mix of flexothene and then really rather expensive clobber. As mentioned I am mostly in flexothene bibs with an ex RAF jacket or old sip or cut climb- just so any birds on the footpath know I climbed a tree once.
  20. Last week
  21. I need to replace my lines. Had tachyon for a while, bit stretchy for srt, once your weight is in it it's good, find it's great for drt. Not sure how one would cope on a windy day the stretch is handy then. Did replace my short line with some drenaline but I find that hard to hold onto, but is improving as it fluffs up. Not sure what to get next.
  22. A.J. injured in Nigerian car crash with two others dead .
