Mog losing air/air not building up
Mike Hill replied to combined tree services's topic in General chat
I run an Alcohol fluid in the Air Dryer of my Mog year round.Its a white box on the same side as the Batery box.It has two settings,one for summer and the other winter.I understand that in addition to purging the water from the Air in the system it also helps prevent gunk from forming in the lines. -
The Bonnet on my Mog is Fiberglass.I don't know if thats standard? The Doors are deffinatly Steel,I nearly folded in half when I lifted one off the hinges.

I will leave a Stub David.To be fair it will be the first time I have done,thanks for your information regarding ideas like that. Funny thing is...one of the Staff at the Museum is a Carver.Some of the other Trees we have removed on this site are going to him for practice. I will have a word with the Manager tomorrow and see how I get on. Thanks again David.

Old parts are often worn out or hard to obtain.Much like old Mogs,they are often wornout and good ones hard to obtain.

Thanks for the replies.I reckon that the removal of such a large limb so close to the Trunk will probably be the beginning of the end for this tree.I suggested they plan upon its removal within ten years. I has grown to big for its location in addition to the problem above.

Here is another one,with a Crab on the defect for scale.

Here are some pictures of a job we have. Before I climbed the Tree,I was unalarmed by the unusual adaptive growth.I presumed that the Branch had at some time in the past been attacked by Bacteria and thus a Callous had formed. That may or may not have been true.Upon climbing the Tree,the top of the adaptive growth has died,the wood splintering and a crack has run longditudally from the Callous towards a large fork in the Stem. I intend to remove the large limb entirely.This is part one of a phase removal on this Tree.The building that the Tree overhangs is of significant historical value and in addition is frequently used to hold concerts and meetings.The hazard this limb presents is unacceptable to the clients and myself. Had the Tree stood in a less used area then perhaps a light reduction of the limb would have been the right idea.

A peice of House Guttering would run the Oil away. Those suction devices sound like a good idea,but as most Sump Bungs are magnetic,wouldn't any Swarf build upon the sump bung over time and never get cleaned off? Every now and again when I change the oil in our plant,I drain the oil and then pour a couple of liters of Kerosene into it.It washes out some of the crap that gets caught on the casting and machining marks.

If it has an eye on the tail,attach the eye to a spare tool loop at the rear of your harness using a Cable Tie.

I have tried contacting Landforce,the company that makes chippers.Emails get bounced back and phone number won't work. I hope they are not another victim of the Recession.

I enjoyed that! Thanks for posting!

Hamadryad and Treequip both have substantial points. I do enjoy the UK for its history and easy of Travel to other countries.The UK does entertainment of the indoors variety very well. I worked with a guy who would pay about £750 to trot off to Dartmoor in his cammo trousers to learn how to light fires and cook Squirrels.When he returned form his course he felt like he could live for weeks on end with nothing more than his "Ray mears Knife and fire steel combo". He never learned to use a map and Compass,navigate in close country,or even to wear his boots in before a journey.I think the most worrying thing was,he was never told to tell others of where he was going or his intended route. Every year in New Zealand half a Dozen tourists go missing and normally turn into a pile of Bones clad in "techno fleece",miles from where they were supposed to be.A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

New Zealand. There it is possible to be more than 40 miles from a licensed establishment,where in the UK it is not.There is no "wilderness" in the UK,well except inside the minds if weekend "survivalists".
