My girlfriends 550 after a new oil pump , clutch , piston and ring and light port work, saw already had a muffler mod but was relieved after a chat with Steve about opening up ports to much ,it ran great after ringing up some sycamore.. Pick up and revs still great and no apparent torque loss and should get stronger once the ring has bedded in properly. Can start on the dolmar 166

How did you beef up the rear springs james ??
-
It's supposed to have the der reise map released soon as well as an add on and the only reason I brought this cod ,they really need to do a world at war remake soon or some modern warfare this futuristic stuff is just total bollox. The new Star Wars battle front is a great game !

It's hard to give up the after work drinks and the weekend binges , but for your health it's worth it ! Try and find a routine of some thing you enjoy doing , hope it works out all the best Rachel and Mat.

I remember seeing some huge stumps along that front years back.. Obviously not beech though?
-
Could probably jump higher than a set of telescopic ladders would get you .... Used ladders plenty today as the tree did not lean itself to SRT at all..... the tail of my working rope would of been dunked in this all day !
-
That is exactly my feeling on greasing them stubby,I have never greased any other Sugi bar either.
-
Will rarely take them on site these days as the amount of room they take up and the effort in moving ladders around it's not worth it if your climbing SRT, a decent rope walker system takes is a lot less effort and is safer but they do have a place I guess as much as I hate working off them!
-
I would give it to spud mate to find the fault ,He's also very good at salvaging cylinders and Pistons too if it needs them.
-
I don't ever grease any bar sprocket any more mark , I found you have to keep it a near daily routine as weekly sporadic greasing seems to make sprockets fail quicker from my experience so it's either all or nothing. I found the tech lites bend nicely back Mick, unless they delaminate.
-
You know you jinxed tomorrow though by saying your 880 has ran with out fault!
-
The piston was good but I will use oem rings and circlips just incase they are brittle not that I have any reason to believe they would be but just out of caution and peace of mind but the Saw is still going. Meteor stuff is good but I don't think they are doing one yet for the new huskys.
-
Sent them an email about the bar tips, did try ringing earlier and could not get through.
-
Spud Cleaned the cylinder up and used a red barn Piston with a oem ring on my 560. Is the bottom end intact , you can get complete short blocks for around £200 from memory.
-
On the bright side mark I had to go on a bargain hunt at David dickinsons for the bar , walked away feeling robbed though. Your right, it didn't like one handed on the ground logging but I think it was being over power lines in gale force winds with out UA tickets and one handing at the time that told the auto tune to blow it up.
-
Well three bars in 3 years and the Sugi lasted 3 months so back on the tech lite. And there I was raving about how strong they were last week 😁
-
I'd stick with the truck you know , many over priced dogs out there.
-
I have no idea but the death of an oak tree will usually be a slow one and give it plenty of time if that is the case to develop and it won't rot as badly on the stump as a lot of species
-
That is horrific ... ****... not some thing you want to think about too much after reading the second link.
-
Will quite possibly be amazing timber , I once felled 5-6 big oaks on an estate, some were double cut on the 088 that had been standing 10 + years and it was all brown or tiger and worth a fortune or so I'm told ... We Swapped the butts for 8 arctics of beech fire wood and was told by another timber merchant we were robbed !!

cutandclimb Waterproof Trousers design - what you looking for?
MattyF replied to Yve_Clark's topic in General chat
Have had these on through out the weekend over the worse rain I've ever been in and whilst the pfanner Ventura jacket started letting water through ( probably down to age and wear) my legs stayed bone dry with the cut and climbs on. Have had them on all day today reducing trees and I'm still bone dry no condensation wetness through sweating ,I noticed the guy I was working with was soaked from sweat from his normal water proofs. -
All trees looped topped and felled ask driver for details.
-
Yeah I get that Mate ! The saw already had a muffler mod, just thinking of smoothing off the casting lines. Can you just drop out the gasket and use liquid or is that asking for trouble with out getting tech and measuring the squish etc.
-
Ok Steve this goes against probably every thing you have advised me ! Worked the bruise on the cylinder wall with 260 then finished with 400 and slightly removed the lip barely half a MM I would of thought to even the lump out at the top of the exhaust port... Whilst I was there filed the plastic fuel inlet wider so it matched the cylinder... Is it doomed !!! Or can I get the dremel out and go to town
