Oldfeller

MS90F a thing of beauty, you got some interesting stuff there, I haven't found anything yet with a nordfeller fitted, I have used a 20t jack on the odd occasion, but that weighs more than the saw.

Ok, another Tale from me and the late big John. so I bought this old 35cwt transit drop side, got it cheap as it had the useless v4 in it. I'm struggling along with it as it's a good solid truck, I'm thinking of putting a diesel of some kind in it for economy, the usual kinda thing that was around at the time was a perkins 4108, or similar. talking to John in the pub we get around to talking about a replacement engine for the snail like transit, John suddenly announces,," I know where there's a good engine, it's brand new in a crate" really John? "yeah It's a mate of mine got it" so Saturday morning were off to see this new engine, I'm kinda thinking it's gonna be a waste of time but hoping I'm wrong. we rock up at the guys house and head for the garage, sure enough there a crate with FORD written all over it, "what is it?" I ask, "don't rightly know not good with engines" "ok lets have a look" gets a pry bar starts opening the crate, "how did you manage to buy an engine but don't know what it is" "Er,, I didn't buy it" and quickly added "it's not hot" I prize the top from the crate and immediately recognize the engine, it's a Ford V6 Essex motor, and not just any old v6,, it's a 3.1 a feckin' RS 3.1 not nicked you say? ok , what's the story, well guys a swimming pool builder, and he builds a pool for some customer who then decides he cant, or wont pay, so he starts down the usual route, solicitors, letters, etc,etc, this is how John gets involved, engine guy is a mate of his so naturally Johns offered to er,,, help! so John pays them a visit and discovers a very irate wife who has discovered her husband is screwing someone else, presented with this John is about to leave and the woman says, if he's not feckin' with his bloody car, he's off screwing someone else. and there's the crate engine, "I'll take that as part payment" help yourself she says. so he did. 3 months later after numerous letters, phone calls etc, it transpires the adulterer has run of to Europe somewhere with the new squeeze and vanished, she owns the house so matey boy has shitout, she comes up with some cash for the pool to avoid any ccj and he keeps the engine. "feck me what a story, ok how much?" "two hund,,"DONE", I hold out my hand and he shakes it, red quid" result. two weeks later the engine is in the transit,facilitated by the v6 bellhousing, on the tranny box, and the diesel front panel to accommodate the extra length of the v6, soon it has the required 500 mile running in period and boy this thing can really move, the acceleration is frightening for an old transit truck, due to the rear axle ratio, and a little care needed in the wet, but ton and half on the back and it doesn't even know its there. and at sensible speed it's no worse on fuel than the v4 as it's barely ticking over and has bags of torque, John is itching to drive it,, but I'll tell you about that next time.

It might be a good idea to install a couple of trail cameras on your property, placed at strategic points but not obvious to any potential trespassers intent on tree damage, could prove useful at a later date.

At the sensible suggestion of a fellow member,[thanks, you know who you are] this is the place to post those saws ya'll have either tucked away, or being used to pay the bills, all welcome, saw related stuff only please. ok lets give a shot. here's most of mine, I can do more pics of individual saws if need be.

I call most things as I see them, I wasn't aware I had threatened anyone? you're the one who suddenly turned up wanting my address,and claiming others wanted it too, as you appear to be in france I see no point in giving you any details at all, however the lesson I have learnt is to simply ignore you and not allow you to succeed in annoying me any further.

thank you for that, it makes much sense. I'm not used to this level of online conflict, I come from an era where you faced your accuser and reacted accordingly. simply put, "the way I look is down to me,, my attitude is down to those around me".

just as I thought more evasive questions, and no answers.

I know how,, the question was have you got something you want to say to my face. yes or no, or are you just gonna shout from the back too.. so who's "US"

why you already stated you don't believe me! who's "us" I don't get asked by anyone else. or you got something you wanna say to my face?

what I did notice, and have been noticing for some time now is the number of posts so elaborate and purposeful in their construction that it would be almost impossible for one not to notice that their main purpose was to antagonize a particular person, something they succeed at every time, I am also aware that anyone agreeing or even associating with said person is automatically ignored or equally antagonized even if they ask a perfectly reasonable question about saws, but think nothing about entering any thread with yet another similar post to get a rise from the same person. someone said a while back that the members engaged in this behavior would not be as keen to meet face to face and act the same way, they were correct, and there's a good reason for that. anonymity can give certain people enormous superiority as they will never get a punch in the mouth, in reality they got a lot to say,, usually from the back stirring up others at the front. I believe they are known as cowards.

but evidently quite popular with the mad hatter on here.

that feckin' Andy Warhol gets around don't he, I thought he was dead.

thank you, that's what I was planning to do exactly, now you have given me a positive example.

oh, evasive bullshite that you think makes you look clever, but just convinces me of every thought I previously had about you, you are just an unfunny condescending cnut with an unhealthy fixation on trump and just about anyone who doesn't agree with you. I doubt you know much about those saws, which in itself is feckin' astounding, as you think your the feckin' expert on every other subject under the sun. I'm a pretty neutral guy in most respects but you are working very hard to sway me from that. you are just as guilty of straying from the definitive subject of the thread, any thread, but of course that's ok 'cos your very "special" I don't doubt you could answer many of the questions asked of you but you avoid them, probably to bathe in the apparent attention it gets, there's probably a medical term for it, you are probably an expert in that field too. recent events in media have shown undoubtedly fanatics who display similar behaviors as you project are generally hiding something far more sinister.

I got 3 new saws to my collection this weekend, a Stihl 08, Homelite xl12[a real one] and a Lombard super lightning. what's your opinion on those, or any other saws . @SP

100% with you on the government issue, I'm not sure the current clown knows what balls are,, or who has them If I were given total control over the country it would make Vlad the Impaler look like Paulus the wood gnome. once the sh1t has gone we can concentrate on cleaning up the bowl.

That looks a well usable bit of kit, very similar to many of them, I have the cheap as chips Kelfri version as I no longer need a larger commercial rig, but my crane is tractor mounted, seals, bearings,tires, are generally easily sourced and replaced if needed, should you be unfortunate to bend or break anything it can be straightened, welded and made stronger with a little bit of back yard ingenuity.

por15 tank sealer, is different from por15 rust preventative this is the stuff , it's inside the fuel tank, not a lot of sunshine in there.

To be fair to them they both have dozens of employees, I spent 33 years doing work for one of them, I've done security work for the other periodically, they are responsible for giving a decent wage to all their employees, without that group they cannot function, some of starmers antics have made it difficult for them, but they take the hits so those they employ can keep feeding their families, and paying their ever increasing bills. so much for his bullshite about kickstarting the growth of the economy, feck off, kicked pensioners, kicked farmers,kicked businesses, believes in free speech, lets criminals out of prisons, locks people up for a feckin' tweet! spent plenty of our money on fecking' rubber boat cnuts, and plenty of sweet deal contract for his feckin' mates no doubt.

yes, but he isn't doing very well is he, even within his own party, we can attempt to change that, we do not have a choice of who the potus will be, I haven't met a single individual who is happy with our current pm. and believe me , I know a very broad group of people, I live between two millionaires, both are fine hard working families, they hate the bastard with a vengeance, but they don't spend every feckin' minute searching the net for dirt on him.

Its politics, as far back as I can be bothered to remember it has been rife with corruption, deceit, bribery, murder, extortion, blackmail, torture, you name it, in just about every party and country all over the feckin' planet. the way some single Trump out and ignore every other bent scheming cnut in politics, even those in their own backyard is not just obsessive, it's downright feckin' disturbing. a professional, qualified person might even say dangerous. the depth of disdain for a single person on the other side of the world must take up a lot of time searching for the next verbal onslaught. I dread to imagine what that level of obsessiveness would bring forth if they were in the same city, or even the same country. everyone is entitled to an opinion on anything, but feck me sometimes there's a list of posts by the same individual you have to scroll down the or go to the next page to reach the feckin' end of it. you don't like or agree with him,, we feckin' get it. Trump would struggle to write a book, everything he's ever done in his life,, you already told everyone. I am as guilty as anyone for straying off the thread topic, it happens on all forums, and I have been reminded often enough, but going back to the title of this thread, it was a question of who would win, trump or clinton, well that result was known for some time now, I looked at it from back at the beginning and several americans were in at the start, some pro trump, they haven't posted for some time now, maybe they are busy, maybe they just got fed up with the constant derisive references to their elected president. I guess we'll never know.

Here ya go SP,, a little something for the weekend. he'll have arms like feckin' popeye by this time next week

I'd happily put the cnuts through a woodchipper.
