chain de-railing

[treequip]

IMO I wouldn't stick the chain back on with burred drive links - they will quickly claw out the bar groove and start causing chain slop - you'll end up needing a new bar as well as a new chain...

 

You are right, but in the middle of no where with no kit to fix it and a job to finish sometimes needs must.

New bar and chain from Jonesies delivered to your door via a quick text from iPhone while up trees £30, not having to fart about and just crack on with the job in hand and keep a squad going, PRICELESS:thumbup:

Fair enough!

 

 

I was more thinking if you had another small saw you could stick a strop on to carry on with the job but as said may not be practical or possible...

It's like not looking at a map Rob, I have seen me with the choke on and shaking the saw trying to get a couple more cuts out a tank of fuel:blushing:

Thanks guys, as said chain was tensioned bang on. and no circlip as 192t has external clutch so thats not a prob.

 

I have flat filed the drive links back to health, and thanks for the advice RobD, having just bought the bar and chain from you, i would rather not get replacements just yet:blushing:

 

Finished up with a silky and 346xp so no great problems with finishing the job.
