a couple of shots at the end of a busy week working in the lovely village of Grosmont. We dismantled 3 trees with serious basal decay in a very congested church yard- no access for any machinery unfortunately.

I got lucky and found one of these, however it came with the wrong bar and chain, it should run a 404, but this had a 325 fitted. the bar is an old roller tip [not a sprocket tip] and while it fits and oils fine it's not suited to 404 chain. it looks like a universal fitment of some kind as its got multiple holes for adjustment and oiling. the slot is 9.5 . so I require a bar that will fit a Jonsereds XF, for a 404 063 chain somewhere between 16"-20" although at 110cc I reckon it will pull a tad longer. I can make a chain to suit once I have a bar. cant find much relating to bar mount pattern and despite having more than a few bars I ain't got one that fits right on. any help would be greatly appreciated so I can get it in some wood.

Roadside. Dead standing lime. Easy Access. WhatsApp +447811385870 or call 01159255953. Wood cut to movable pieces by hand. Largest rings quartered. NG72GZ. Yes lime isn't fantastic firewood by itself, but can be mixed in with other loads and burnt succesfully. VID-20251008-WA0009.mp4 VID-20251008-WA0008.mp4

My set up for Tobroco giant. Pulled over a number of trees with it also used it to recover loader when I got it stuck in middle of woodland

That's right, when standing and green it is unpalatable to animals but dried mixed in with forage it gets eaten.

As above, I always just start by giving the carb a clean, remove and clean needle valve and just replacing the diaphragms and pump. I check that the fuel inlet pipe will hold light pressure and vacuum. Generally this is all they need and I don't go any deeper into welch plugs etc. I've had some that still leak and then its a case of finding the leak.

What you've done is air layering, a common method to make a new independant from a branch of an established tree. It tells me your graft may not have taken. If nutrients are not getting down to the roots it will encourage root growth at the end of the cambium where its been ringed. If the graft was successful, the roots may be a secondary result of it being covered. I'd suggest carefully snip off the new root growth and check the graft and leave it uncovered.

Morning all, Had a really productive day yesterday. Felled a row of conifers, dissecting round a climbing rose, then used branches and three trunks to make a trellis for it. Crown cleaned a lime. Not sure about today, maybe rain, maybe get more done. Stay safe all.

He'll open the cavity walls if I hide food so that's not happening. I have an even clearer than usual day tomorrow so a big walk for a great reset I think. I now retire for another beer and to throw the squeaky elephant (replacement for the squeaky reindeer) for him.

Biggest thing, for a lot of us, is checking your cover includes commercial vehicles. Standard cover doesn’t include up to 3.5t.

Try pulling the seals on the crank bearings first, they may tell a story although the flywheel side may not give you much of a view....not done many 61s...ADW would probably have a bit more experience on these. Looking at the bearing through the open part of of the crank lobes may also help but can't really see the metal being anything else than the main bearing cage. I had similar on MattyFs 560xp many years ago, one of the stuffers had disintegrated causing similar damage. I managed to grind the port damage out, a good friend machined a pop up and took the base of the cylinder down and it worked on for a few years before detonating.
