  1. If you periodically wipe or brush the swarf off the file they will last a lot longer
  2. Thanks Andy. However the part I need is the older trigger - part no. Ends 1000 which as you can see from the pic is slightly different
  3. I was hoping for something a little closer. Thanks that is now an option
  4. Whilst working on a friend 038av, I accidentally broke the trigger & I am having great difficulty finding one. I don't think Stihl stock them now as it is an old saw & I'm hoping someone has one on a shelf or on an old scrapped saw that I could purchase . Thank in advance Pete
  5. The connects can be heavy on fuel in comparison
  6. The fiesta not a consideration?"
  7. Some well balanced picks there. Godd job
  8. Some organised rigging there - good job. Two rigging points works well when it works......
  9. Looked a nice day for a big tree Reg. How you finding the rigging rings in comparison to pulleys or a big rigging block?
  10. Some good work thereTom. Not the nicest tree to tackle
  11. Nice tidy treework. Good to watch
  12. I was pointing out that the AA are becoming more inclusive & that the opinion that only AAC should be allowed to do TPO work would be a retrograde step in there evolution. Pete McSheffrey OakdaleNEltd
  13. To exclude other quality contractors, who choose not to be AA approved from TPO work would be elitist & exclusive. Things that the AA are striving not to be I hope. This new scheme being an example
  14. The introduction of a stand alone accreditation, which is also a stepping stone towards full AA status is a great idea IMO. It will be an excellent tool to drive businesses forward & help them compete with those larger ones around them.
  15. Top job Rich:thumbup1:
  16. Good job Rich. Did I you put a rigging block on each leader & run the rope through both? I try too as the rigging compresses the union.
  17. Or just live next door to the local game keeper like I do My hen run is still very secure & the rats & stoats pose just as big a threat, especially if you have chicks
  18. Some quality work there & an impressive selection of toys too
  19. Who sells 1/2inch plus wire-core flip lines 3.5m or above here in the UK? I can only seem to find skinny 3m ones which are limiting to say the least.
  20. What the old man said
  21. Oregon green welly things? They never fitted well. Never minded goliaths for spiking - not much good for anything else
  22. 30" works great on the 660. I'd look at the dual port exhaust too - bit louder but improves the performance markedly.
  23. Vernier scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  24. 16mm double esterlron with a porta-wrap, which is as important as your choice of line. No point wrecking it at the knot & it failing prior to the winch. Matching components is the key
  25. I missed that too.
