What are you trying to imply Andy:confused1:
-
Its a deal Andy:thumbup: I must warn you though, the last person to buy me half a barrel of beer ended up carrying me home:lol:
-
Just realised, i think i derailed a bit:001_huh:
-
I know, but its given me a lot of fun for the last few weeks:lol:
-
Knew i could get you to bite one day Johnny:001_tt2:
-
Ah, ok. Must be a Harrogate thing then?
-
Thought you had been away. Not seen you on here for a while. I was missing having someone to wind up:001_tt2:
-
You been away Johnny? Been rubbing your bar?
-
Are you saying you take the bar off everytime you sharpen the chain?

Will send you a PM, Pete. -
Was there a prize for giving the old yak advice? All that extra production from the lads must have made you feel a little generous Andy?
-
As per written quote maybe? If they then want the timber, it can easily be for sale:sneaky2:
-
No worries, i get you now:thumbup1: Just as a word of advise, when you are filing the burrs off the edge of the bar, try and put the file near the burrs, as somehow you have managed to file off all the paint in the middle of the bar but miss some adjacent to the edge:001_tt2:

Oops, just realised, for anyone not from cumbria, or even the north (that includes you Andy), Old Yak is Oak and it hasnt got 4 legs:blushing:
-
Gotta be Old Yak Andy. Nice and well seasoned, will burn long with little smoke but will leave that unmistakable flavour on whatever toastie:thumbup:

If i dare, i would say it looks like its been hammered for a 5 month old bar! Its either been too hot or had a LOT of work. I have husky (oregon) bars several years old, with what i class as "the odd day here and there" use, and they ALL still have plenty of paint on them! Doesnt ring true to me that this is a nicely maintained, carefully used bar. Have you tried asking the dealer if he would swap it on warranty as its not very old and not had much use?
-
Too right Roger. I could be missing something here, but can anyone else see why they didnt clear fell that first tree? Seems a little strange that they would introduce various risks, such as being in a bucket and pushing with the digger, also with very lttle leverage. The way i see it, it would have been much better to put a line in the tree high up with the MEWP, use the digger to pull the line from, and fell at the base? Perhaps theres less room than it looks, but seems very strange to fell such a tree at that dangerous height?
-
Looks like that beast could go cheap! If its as he says with "no leaks at all", it will be even rarer! They really were like a cullinder! His refernce to "only 7 ever made" must be to do with it being a forwarder as there were many 1250's around 25-30 years ago, but not sure if it would have a crane fitted as new?
-
Too right Rupe, i dare say without the ally, you could be looking nearer 2600kg. Trouble is, whatever wheelbase/cab type, the gvw is still 3500, so good on you:thumbup1: Mine was a quick job afterall, and the main objectives were to build something i was capable of doing myself, with limited time and materials i was used to working with. Also i am happy i managed to keep it under 2500

-
Not sure if its long or extra Rupe, but it has a 10foot body on it and now chip box is nearer 8 feet with the toolbox off the front.
-
Bit dodgey round our way:001_tt2:
-
Just needs wheels painting and new rear mud gueards and we`re sorted:thumbup1:
-
Chip deflector is easily removable and doubles as top rear door if you need to stop anyone seeing in:sneaky2: As for the cab deflector, i recon the neighbours wouldnt be too keen if i took it away:lol:
-
Thats more like the spirit:thumbup1: What you doin rest of the week?
