  1. Past hour
  2. Generally its re-mounting a new tyre. I can break the beads by getting all the air out then jumping on the tyre. Agreed I use lots of fairy liquid and push the tyre into the centre and any old compressor seems fine. A ratchet strap can also help temporarily force the rims to seat while you put air in.
  3. Yes. 3/8" is the pitch wheras the 0.050 and 0.043 are the gauge. The width of the rail on the chainsaw bar will determine the gauge of the chain and the pitch needs to be the same as the nose and the drive sprocket.

  4. Dunno, he’s dead now so cannot ask. I know he said getting the footings right was the biggest challenge, as if they’re too big (sloppy digger work) it costs a fortune in extra concrete.
  5. How are you all getting these slabs to dry flat? I don't even bother slabbing now because anything that has the pith in turns into an Escher painting after a few months on the stack.

  9. Hi Dan It does make a difference, that's why we asked. We are trying to only post on a Friday, with whatever we are promoting on our socials and emails. I do notice that when we update the classifieds, they all pop up in the unread posts. As these run out after 2 weeks, I've started to try to spread them out so it's not too much at once. I can't control this as it's an Arbtalk thing. Pricing-wise, we should always be cheaper as we are only there to move on end-of-line products or out-of-packaging products. We will have a think and discussion on how to be more engaging in our content - any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your feedback, it is valuable to us as it should be for any business.
  10. I would think the oil bath air filter would be a no no due to you needing to use the grinder on slopes etc. Have a look at the Chinese Honda copies for a replacement (Lifan etc). About half the price, electric start versions available. Obviously check crankshaft length/diameter before ordering. The foam sleeve that goes over the paper air filter element is an important part of the set up if working in dusty environment. It needs to be dipped in clean oil and squeezed out at regular intervals after washing out in petrol to catch any dust etc. before reaching the paper filter.
  11. Morning all, The autumn hedgefest of regulars continues. Bread and butter.

  15. Weird, I would rather go with Carmen Electra on my bog roll TBH. Enjoy your time on the toilet staring at Keir if thats what floats your boat mate.
  16. I was just wondering if anyone had used it who knows it might be ok
  17. What’s the chain speed Steve? Is there a chain shot/safety zone issue or can it be used within sensible distances of 3rd parties?
  18. thanks for the feedback gonna go ahead with procomms
  19. How fckin big was this chicken! Reminds me of the scene in Young guns where they were all off their tits getting high.

Maintence day for my other kit, have a few files started but this came with a nice looking file guide, and I've never used one so gave it a try. File is shite, wouldnt cut toffee. A worn Pferd file is massively better than this (Gustharts sell them). Handle, a bit smalll, not very ergonomic. Without heating the file tang I'm not sure how your supposed to fit it as it wouldnt go in very far. The guide, works like it should, but guides are shite and annoying to use. Luckily I dont need them although my right hand, for left hand cutters, needs practise.

    Chickens?

  23. Fungus appeared this year on twin stem sycamore tree. Growing out of top of old cut wound. Given left hand stem on picture is leaning at appropriate 20 degrees at base is this a problem it terms of the tree becoming unsafe. Tree is approximately 25m tall.
  24. Very interesting, many thanks everyone. C

  27. I had a similar case with an old apple tree that looked half-gone after a bad winter. Pruning back the dead wood and giving it a season with mulch, compost tea, and slow-release organic feed really helped bring it back. Also worth checking for root rot or girdling roots. These trees are tougher than they look once stress is managed right.
