Would not be as bad for us any way if FC had not blocked flood plain with a new road but they are law unto themselves. -

Getting deeper John this was new road about 8 this morning This is it now it's been washed away ! Few more feet to go to the house though! Drive down to the north Tyne and it's broke its banks this was 3 hours ago so it will be a lot higher now it was already breaching main roads at around 1

I hope not it's not flooded in 200 years apparently! I think it's more likely to wash the new road away but quite likely to get in one of the log sheds. -
I've wanted one for about 20 years though Steve , last one that was in the family was retired to the parts bin so I took the dogs off to make ninja knuckle dusters like you do when your about 12 ...if only I had access to those tea chests of saws now !! a variety of old stihls , huskys and dolmars I do believe the whole lot was scrapped the last bit of the 166 remaining was the starter pull that I had on my favourite 200 t... I really liked the grips on it !

This is usually the road out of the house but it keeps bursting its banks since the FC did an amazing job of blocking off a flood plane with a new road .. Nice and black and we are stuck at home and Needed to go in to town for saw spares.

I got a whole bottom end short block for £180 I did try and rebuild with a crank off an a 562 but the crank was the wrong size for the clutch Off a 560 ,which reminds me it needs to go on eBay.
-
I'm on my way !
-
I rebuilt one of my 560's and noticed the crank stuffers were loose , I did put it back together and a few months later the stuffer destroyed the saw!

I really would disagree , there are some proper rouges operating out there who don't give a damn as long as they are saving money.

The price defenders are going for now I'd put my money on a GWagon if I wanted the ultimate off road truck... Even buy an old 4 door and convert it to a flat bed tipper , the chassis and transmission are massively superior the old ones are just let down by crap engines so it would have a merc sprinter engine installed.. Sadly I would not have the time to do this! I do get all nostalgic about land pigs though and think another would be great but I spend 5 minutes in one and remember why I sold my last 90.

Gonna have to get me another one for light rigging... Should not of given one away !

Sorry to hear this 👎🏻👎🏻

I really like the hitch climber on the wrench Joe so you have the wrench on the bottom hass on the middle and neck tether on the top... CT on the foot all the way for me, the pantin is absolute rubbish , I think tw190 had a good fix for it with some Velcro though. What are you using for a tether ? Some thing like the 4srt one from tree kit is a good call from my experience as it feels more natural if your coming from DRT ,your not planted ridged against the rope and can allow you to comfortably make a few cuts with movement then carry on ascending with out feeling like you have to unclip it all.
-
This sounds interesting you know what I have in mind then ,do you recon there is a fix ?
-
It's all good apart from the coil ! Cylinder looks almost unused ...
-
Is it possible to have the ignition coil of a saw repaired or is a new one the only option?
-
I've seen some loose the plate.

Transits get stuck on a wet level playing Feild , they are great for residential work useless In bad conditions ,a few years back when it was really cold we lost at least a months work as I could not even drive the transit out the yard with the chipper on ... If your doing parkland , playing fields big gardens then a 4x4 is a must especially if you live in locations like hodge where a 4x4 is completely necessary full stop!

Must be showing it different on the app ! The gladiators are ok I've had a couple of pairs but I found my self wading through stuff thinking they will be fine ... Err and they get caught on the back wrecking them !

Top ones.

Personally would probably not wear any thing else , one of the best features on these trousers is the tick guards as standard on them , until other manufactures start putting them in I won't wear any thing else.. Plus the fact they are the lightest ,most durable, flexible and comfy trousers out there.
