I thought that a few pages back . I thought that maybe it was you 😃 . Suppose it still could be 😃

Everybody wants to rule the world...

the tracked exhaust was fitted with a flexi pipe to combat the greater vibration caused on the track models. The road tow exhaust will fit the manifold but is prone to cracking earlier.

I've got a 2002 Jimny I want to put a towbar on, not to tow 3.5t or anything obviously, but just because every vehicle should have a towball and will be useful for a 6 x 4 trailer. The rear tow points have been cut off the chassis (where you'd normally bolt the off the shelf towbar kit to). The kits don't look particuarly well made or good design. Do I; 1. fabricate up the bits needed to be able to fit a standard towbar kit 2. fabricate a towbar from scratch (stronger than off the shelf kits) from some decent grade box section and weld to chassis? Is this legal, how would if fair in an MOT?

Got to understand the tip sites a bit... Most of the local firms around your area, the ones doing the majority of the work, will be set up where to get rid of their waste. If someone is working in your area who isn't so local their usual tip sites could be 1 hour+ round trip way and so will be looking for somewhere local to tip. What that means in reality from the tip sites alone, they arn't going making a track to your door with piles of logs - it will be the occasional load from out of area tree surgeons. This is compounded with many homeowners seeing the prices of kiln-dried-and-delivered logs and their freshly-cut-down-unsplit-and-green tree thinking they are quids in off facebook marketplace and ask to keep the logs. Fewer logs for the tree surgeons to take away to tip. I reckon on a load or 2 every year but most of these are from contacts I have made locally - hearing a chainsaw in the distance and taking a lunchtime walk to see who it is and ask nice (when they arn't stuck up a tree of course) So the tip sites are a handy thing to use, but don't rely on them for all your winter heating. You ca make your site more visible perhaps with a consideration for petrol or whatever offered and to make tipping at yours as easy as possible

Morning all, Flu jab this morning, then some office work. Looking at a large ash with die back this afternoon. In the hedge between field and garden. Farmer wondered if we could push it over with a loadall. I explained that it was not a good idea to be standing next to the trunk doing a back cut while a machine pushes on it. Sounds like use the mewp to get crown off is a safer plan.

Really sorry to hear about the loss of all this gear -you must be really gutted... Well done for listing out all the details of it too -if it's any consolation, you'll now have lots of Arbtalk's 'eyes' looking out for it. Also, a useful reminder for me -and all of us, to be mindful of our vehicle security/complacency!

Comes with built in chassis rust . 😀

Yeah, I'm not going to do that every day. It's fine on vibes etc though. Impressive machine really. Apart from this monstrously bad running on. And I mean bad. Like quarter throttle easily. Wasted loads of effort dragging the chain to a stop on wood and using the chain brake unnecessarily. Not to mention it's horrendously dangerous if you don't have your wits about you. Where you'd normally gribble through the last inch of cut so the chain has already stopped when it drops into space, you now have to worry about it picking back up to quarter or third throttle. You're effectively stood there with a machine gun that's stuck firing unless you want to abuse the chain brake.

I'm having similar problem. As I tighten the clutch cover nut, the (new grey genuine husky) cover seems to catch the rim of the clutch drum preventing the sprocket from turning. If I don't tighten the cover nut, chain runs. It's a husky 435II. Any ideas gratefully received
