  1. I thought that may be the case Steve ... It's for the 395 , my last experience of buying a non OEM part for that saw was a clutch that didn't fit! There was an OEM coil on eBay but it was state side.
  2. What are people's experiences with non OEM ignition coils? I've just ordered one for a saw I need by Friday and now slightly worried....
  3. Great work, would love to see a few more pics of it.
  4. Is it dead or alive joe?? It makes a massive difference in weight with this species... If it was alive or dying I would certainly consider the flat bed crane lorry .... Or any crane for that matter.
  5. Ghillie in the highlands.
  6. Box it up and send it too spud.
  7. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/271976367362 Same company .. I think.

    Yeah mate, it's growing on me and I'm manning up a bit with that extra 2g at full arms length on those reductions!
  9. I get that mate , Problem is for saw operators if it's been drummed in not to waste timber and keep stumps low it's hard not to do it in urban work or other environments .
  10. I've seen some of the RC lowering devices with out the Stein logo on eBay as well, not good.
  11. Getting paid by the tonne ,all timber to be removed from site and no high stumps ,it takes about a minute to make those cuts with a 560 on a 15"bar.... Also makes rolling the tree Easy when snedding and like I said it annoys the forwarder driver when his load has big gaps in because of flares... Tbh though a lot of the larger trees on that site we dressed the timber when it was on the deck.
  12. Removed toes also make nice jacking points for those hairy Spruce that need pushing through , also means you can get wedges in further. And keeps the forwarder driver happy so he does not have gaps in his bunk. Leave them for compromised trees definitely though , I learnt that the hard way when I had a big elm collapse on a saw bending the bar and leaving me in a situation you don't really want to be in!
  13. If you just need bearings though I have a spare set.. Went to buy a new crank case as mine was an early 5 bolt one that had leaked and stripped bolts and it was cheaper to buy the whole short block than the crank case.
  14. Pete you can pick up a bottom end short block consisting of new crank and case crank and bearings ready to go for £170. If that's of any use...
  15. What's gone on yours ??
  16. Roller gets a really nice finish... Last time I painted a ply box it took a good few coats to soak in.
  17. Cheers mate Thing is rich I brought it knowing full well I didn't get on with mechanical climbing devices in the hope this would change how I felt , it didn't ....I just like the organics of hitch cord and I need some new rigging line and too make my climbing bag a bit lighter. I've only tried this and the uni and definitely preferred it but if I'm not using it I would rather sell it too some one who would.
  18. Sorry Gerbutt, I'm too computer illiterate to do a link so here is the list number 181858832377
  19. I have a bull dog bone on auction on eBay if any one is interested.

    I'm holding you to this if I can't cope with the extra 2.5 Oz.Ordered the sugi.
  21. Sounds a plan ... I'll try and not talk politics over a pints though it turns the night sour.. We could do with sectaries though for more rounds
  22. Good idea mark Maybe we could get Russia and China too chip in to pay for some of it and they will stop selling them weapons to tear apart there home lands and the cia will stop training militias in an attempt to do there dirty work and the west will stop interfering with our failed foreign policy...
