  2. Any meathead in any flag who has nefarious purposes. I'm not one to discriminate..
  3. It's just recently been laid, and my telling him he should've bought a roll-a-lawn without weeds in it didn't go down well.
  4. I have used it just once. Most of the paperwork hassle was avoided by using timber hauliers who were used to dealing with FC. I did still have to prove I had £10 million public liability insurance. As for prices, the FC do publish average prices once a year I believe, so this might give you an idea.
  5. Also interested in peoples opinions on this jacket. Thinking of getting one as well
  6. If the fitted cylinder is OEM and not too bad, I would always try to salvage it and fit a decent quality aftermarket piston if one is available. Take note of Stubbys advice, no point fitting new parts until a vac/pressure check is done and the fuel system is checked out and adjusted correctly after fitting the new parts so the saw isn't over revving.
  7. Might have told this story but.... Back in the 80's, a Lebanese came over in the garden of a local vicarage. I deal was done and it was mine. I lived in an ex council terrace but planned eventually to get a bigger house. I took the usable lengths to the sawmill at Whatton Hall and Sid, Keith and myself discussed the butt's with Nog, the local carpenter. There was enough to get a decent sized table and church pew type seat so we set about the job and the Robinson Reciprocating Saw rumbled into life with the slapping of all the endless belts. The grain and smell were fantastic! The smell of Cedar and the purple through to orange and yellow pippy grain were excellent! The finished lengths of different sizes and widths were stacked to air dry in a lorry body to dry! The container was also workshop/store/bait room and always smelt good! Every year I used to empty the stock, turn or adjust the stack to get an even drying......Several years went buy and eventually I had a 24'x12' kitchen and I saved up Nog's fee. That summer, some b@stard set off some fireworks and one shot under the glassonite lorry body and burnt the lot to the ground!!! The old use of Cedar was in the manufacture of furniture - drawer bottoms especially, so that your knicker drawer smelt sweet!

    So a bunch of lads turn 40 . Where shall we go to celebrate they say . Lets go to Weather spoons in Uttoxeter coz the waitresses have big tits and short skirts . 10 years later they say now we are fifty where shall we go to celebrate . Lets go to spoons in Uttoxeter coz the waitresses are easy on the eye and there is a great selection of beers . Ten years later they go to spoons again coz the food is reasonable and you can have a nice quiet meal with no loud music . 10 years later they are 70 . They decide to go to spoons again coz there is wheel chair access and disabled toilets . 10 years later they say where shall we go to celebrate . One says , I know . Lets go to Weather Spoons in Uttoxeter coz we have never been there before ...
  11. hi . We can help you. There will be an upgrade for it. We will need a machine serial number and the details of the engine. The 35 should be the Kubota 35hp engine so if you can confirm that it will help. This helps us to know what the upper and lower rev settings it would have had originally. You have the 108 tooth wheel I can see from your picture. Green Plant UK - 01483 235111 option 1 for parts.

  22. The roller I was talking about is the chain roller, not the mower roller.🙄
  23. Typical seizes are using old fuel oil mix where the oils lubrication has been degraded, lack of or no two stroke oil in the fuel, air leak or running lean. Running lean can also include split fuel lines, blocked fuel filters, blocked gauze strainers etc The piston crown damage is interesting. It is possible that someone has damaged it using a poor choice of piston stop or it has caved due to the heat. The damage looks like a bad case of pre ignition but that could only happen if the coil had developed a weird fault or the flywheel managed to shear it's key and stop a few degrees in advance. Never seen one that bad before.
  24. Hi im currently looking into a working holiday in Australia, probably perth. Ive been in contact with some people and have been told the "busy season" is from roughly march to july. My questions were: how true is this? Would big companies still potentially employ new workers in the "slower" season? Or is it basically hopeless to try and get employed before march ish? Ideally i would love to be in oz before the miserable uk winter lol, but obviously moving and not getting a job isnt a great idea.
  25. Wind yes, sun to the south probably also a factor. I'd guess it will always be uneven now, although there are some buds on the north so they could possibly develop into branches. You could try removing a few of the longest branches, don't shorten them else you are liable to cause even more sprouting on the cut ends.
