  1. Was reading an interesting thread on tree buzz about how just removing dead wood on pines can make new wind tunnels and cause wind throw and lost branches.... I recently dead wooded one of the bigger Scottys by the house for a Rec climb tree and it was the only one to loose big limbs in the recent storms...I've seen on other pines that have been worked on over the years as well. Maybe thinning/tip reducing them after a dead wooding is not a bad idea.
  2. Didn't look like there was of foliage to begin with.
  3. How big are those Darin? Looks bonsai but fair play for target pruning and nice they didn't just cut them in half.
  4. Nice work,Looking forward to some more.
  5. 560 576 395
  6. Happy days tim, short n sweet .
  7. Not really,any of the above as Pick ups are work trucks .....crew cabs may fall in your category's though.
  8. Aye it was a monster tree I saw some pics and the tree report with the picus findings , I was tempted to come down and do it for Fred as he didn't have time to do it and had to sub it out and offered it to me but its a long journey!! , told him to use matey to shift it as Paul always wants the timber if it's beech. I will get on that at some point tm then mate.
  9. Can't wait looks great progress so far, good thing you have some nice beech to bring the auto tune in to check on . Do you want me to order an oem ring for the piston ?
  10. Just done mine last week , don't think it adds to comfort but as long as is does not fall apart any time soon I'm not bothered.
  11. Found a brand new unused sugoi blade on Friday behind the seat... Don't remember buying it so was a result.
  12. [ame] [/ame] Sort of thing I do !! I have started to take photos and write parts down and mount on strips of cardboard and it makes reassembly a breeze.
  13. I have a spare new crank if you need one.... Never had issues with the 560 bearings though , had crank stuffers fall apart and the crank cases leak.
  14. I've changed a couple of sets but never had any fail it was just a precaution thing whilst having the saw split. I see looking inside what you mean now. You can get a new short block from husky for £170 surely a more cost effective way of replacing bearings.
  15. Do you mean the seals?
  16. Crank bearings are all metal though ?
  17. You been cutting up watlers beech he picked up for nothing?
  18. 15" here
  19. Send to spud or buy a new saw are your options ... Sure it's not just blunt?
  20. Will the misses get mad if you put it in the dish washer to Clean it 😉 Looking good any way boss 👍
  21. Ha ha fair enough!! What was all that about yesterday then if at the start of this thread is true and that Cameron would not do a debate unless the greens were there but they are not considered a large enough party to be on the debate but ukip is.
  22. So who's your party of choice as your so keen to shoot down others ? I'd vote green we need a change massively and as far as I can see its looks like we are about to repeat Europe's last 80 years of history starting with the hate fuelled blame of the far right , I would rather vote for bez and his anti fracking party but he forgot to register his party though... http://www.vice.com/read/bez-forgot-to-register-his-anti-fracking-party-so-now-no-one-can-vote-for-him-306?source=vice_iphone_app Bez Forgot to Register His Anti-Fracking Party and Now No One Can Vote for Him
  23. Eggs you tell em how it is!!
  24. Sounds like it's coming along , glad you saved the cylinder ! Just put the short block back together with ancillaries and will try and post tomorrow mate. What's it going to take to get martin on his lathe ??
