Loverly day for a bit of felling. The client kept the Timber as he "wanted a few planks for his cabin". Safe to say he will have all he'll ever need!

The local council "Head tree expert" took the Mayor (no chainsaw experiance) to fell the Cities Christmas tree last year.Unfortunatly the "gun climber" put the strop for the crane to high and after the Mayor severed the Trunk the top snapped off and nearly flattend the Mayor,Tree expert and "gun climber".

Hubcap? Put a big wood bolt through the middle.Should be good.

Does that mean pulling the drum laterally and smacking it with a hammer ?I blead the cylinder at the drum this arvo but no joy there.I think the shoe has stuck to some rust on the drum and can't come off.

Well,the new clutch went it well.But with "Dirty Dorris" being parked up for a few days the rear brake pad has stuck to the Drum.I see that you can usually wind the pad away from the drum via a screw type device,but alas the one in the Drum mentioned has fallen off.So could I just insert a screw driver in there,put vice grips in the shank and try and turn it?Or might that break somthing? I really don't want to have to take the Wheels off and hammer the drum off (if it will come off at all).I know I could try and bleed the cylinder on the hub but I'd like to know if the pad can be backed off the drum by turning with a screw driver?

When I was about ten years old,we discovered that a old motorbike helmet would stop .22 bullets.So me and a mate took turns wearing it backwards and shooting each other.

Why did you bother with ramps?There are loads of old tyres over that fence you could have used. Amatures:thumbup1:

I thought that Alex Shigo was a "steward" of the ISA and had more than just a guiding hand in it.I am probably wrong,but thats what I was told and beleived.

I'm ISA certified,I got the cert as it was a prereqisite for an Arborist in the area I work in Canada.I took a month off and studied for six hours a day,really took it seriously. But what has annoyed me lately is the offter that the ISA allow's holders of the "European Treeworker" cert to get an ISA cert for just a payment to the ISA.No exam,no providence of time spent in the industry.Since Alex Shigo passed on,it seems that the ISA has become more focused on revenue gathering.Its just the way I feel anout it.

Morild: Yes your right,never seen it here but thats what its called.Andif its about the fish won't bite apparantly.

Thats a fine looking wagon you have there!Tell us the story about it.
-
Not being there dosn't help.But if there was room to straight fell it,why waste your time climbing? If it had to be climbed but not rigged and I knew it was that knackered for a start,then yes,"Get up there you pansy!"
-
I'f be proud of all that Matty! Well done!

When the client points at the Unimog and sayes "I don't want your tractor messing up my drive"

Best of luck Chris! What made the Diff go?I thought the Salsubry diff was practically bulletproof?

When the "Sherrill" Cataloge gets thumbed untill the cover falls off and six months later you still havn't ordered anything!

Fair call.The guys would go on "bolt patrol" and tighten up anything loose.But I didn't expect the engine to loose three engine mounting bolts on one persons driveway in the course of an afternoon.

Well spotted! I have an enourmous respect for those Air Craft.They can drop two cylinders in flight and still chug along,they are the "Chevrolet Pickups" of the Sky.I saw one take off with so much aboard the floats were nearly under water,it just sat back and like a lazy blowfly eventually chugged into the Sky.
