  1. You may be lucky and be able to save the cylinder as I did on my 441 but the piston and rings, if seized, will be shot and you'll have to replace them, then you'll have to find out what caused the seizure, if it was bad fuel mix then fine but if it's a carb mixture problem or an airleak that caused it to run lean then you will have to sort that out other wise you'll be back to square one.
  2. I stitch the cross over.
  3. I agree.
  4. Yeah cheap when you buy them by the hundreds, great glove, lets stop making them.
  5. I was told they have been discontinued which really doth suck.
  6. It may be better to use a Sharp Knife for the AP, check through the my splicing attempts thread, I am sure somebody gave the piano wire gauge there.
  7. The Bandits can struggle pulling in smaller stuff but when it comes to chomping on larger wood they are superb.
  8. "There are some good American machines but they are MASSIVE and heavy. The only time I saw a small Bandit working was at the APF a few years ago and it couldn't even feed itself (and this was on their demo stand...)." I don't get what you mean, the Bandit can't feed itself, what with a grab? Or like most other machines it takes human power to feed the machine? I have a TW, I have used Bandits, Jensons, Schliesing, Gravelys, Landforce, Vermeer, TP and Dosco amongst others and I wouldn't put Greenmech at the top of my list. IMO.
  9. Agreed, I use a Silky when ever I can.
  10. Your gut is right, exhaust.
  11. I think you would only need to use the spacer if you are splicing onto both eyes, if you are splicing one end of the cord to one side of the Pinto and the other end of the cord to the remaining eye then the spacer would not be needed. I could well be wrong though.
  12. Mr Beranek describes the Humbolt in his book, The negative cut (the lower cut) greatly improves the tendency of the butt of the tree to slip off the stump during the trees fall, particulary when the tree is felled to the sidehill or downhill.
  13. I did?
  14. If you want the top to drop out you cut the face cut like that.
  15. Reg, that top handle is ported!
  16. Quality.
  17. I wonder if it was a driver unfamiliar with the route? I thought those trees had more than enough clearance.
  18. You can see it on Liveleak but I'm not posting it.
  19. Thanks Ian, I've dropped them a email.
  20. Well, they earned their money on that job.
  21. Looked at a Redwood today which has a cable installed but the owner is not happy with it, at the moment it hangs loose but is cable tied to the odd limb, would it be better to have a more secure attachment? The cable runs straight into the ground at the base of the trunk, I have been told that this is perhaps not that a great idea and that grounding a fair distance from the root system would be more ideal, also the cable is coiled to allow growth at the base, the owner would like the coil aloft probably as it's a little unsightly and also to deter metal thieves, any thoughts?
  22. Solenoids? You could actually be whaling, kill the beast, drag it in, process.
  23. RT is good not seen the other one.
