  1. Great flooring Great framing timber It's one of the biggest timber products in the Pacific Northwest. Pretty much everything is framed in "Hemi" on the West Coast.
  2. I am sorry if this is really vague, but I was told that if there is a emblem on the face of the final drive that resembles a Citroen emblem,then it's an Italian final drive. Either way its going to have to come out to see if the Sun gear is damaged so doing that will make it easier to match.
  3. I wonder how the Reverend Thompson would be feeling if the Axis had won? Oh that's right,he would be dead or enslaved. Small detail I suppose,carry on Reverend.
  4. It might be a catalyst for other people to start posting pictures and things again.
  5. What do you hope to achieve with your viewpoint Paddy? Do you expect to win everyone over and they just throw their hands up and type "Paddy you were right all along?" I am genuinely curious.
  6. Sure Khris. Could you please take a month off Arbtalk to concentrate on your contracts and projects. Be sure to post pictures in a month. Good lad.
  7. There you go again Khris,you are genuinely to dim to see how stupid you make yourself look. What witty retort with the very vaguest of relevance awaits us in your reply this time? *sharply draws in breath*
  8. Great 12 Arbtalkers agree with me that you are a bullshitter,vrs 2 that like your last post that confirms the former theory. Yet still you compound your density by comment . You were,indeed,the T.A.
  9. That's great Khris,I should have expected no less than such from Arbtalks own: Weapons expert Hse expert Cable logging expert Vehicle modification expert Military history scholar Aviation expert with a focus in WW2. Forest Harvesting specialist. In fact you seem to know so much about so many things,I do wonder how you find the time to come on here?
  10. Please do. It was make a change from you posting your usual Bollocks.
  11. Behold! This 200T was found along with a train load of Bullion sealed in a tunnel by the retreating Nazi's. No it was actually awarded to by during a ceremony on the Instagram where the most rapey foreigners liked me flexing in my tight trousers . 20210128_221241.mp4
  12. Mod Muffler mod and re-tune was all it had. I raced it against a 201tc that the local shop had,which was recently repaired.
  13. Fun fact A MS194 with the muffler opened up,will out cut a 201tc. They seem to last longer too.
  14. Want me to film it with my Drone? DMforplacement #arbwanker
  15. Alot has to do with how many followers you have on Instagram and prior to that how many likes you have received. Wearing a Sawpod when you are shopping having excellent selfie skills whilst doing something mediocre are both good foundations to becoming a Arborist. A catchy handle such as "Big Trees Billy" or "Rope Smokin Removalist" will stand you in good sted as well. Recently I have invested in a Drone,this will be employed to film myself flexing beside my Unimog and lunging against my Valtra whilst wearing brand new kit.
  16. Don't know, that log was in the waste pile from past years. We were selective logging Spruce,Red and Yellow Cedar.I would mill up slabs to be broken down into beams on my off days.
  17. I will start the bidding at £100
  18. Going through some old photos this morning. Found one of me milling some big yellow cedar in Northern BC in 99.With an 076 I built from a couple of boxes of parts. Hard to believe its 23 years ago! It was very hard pushing the millvertically but somehow I managed.
  19. Sure. Buy the truck that you hope will fill your requirements the best. It will work out or it will not. No one knows your requirements better than yourself. Your fear of "shunting " another vehicle in your over loaded 3.5tonner to somehow magically never overloading your 7 tonner is irrationa,l as wether you run overweight or not is entirely within your control .
  20. Stop being a minge. Life is full of unknowns,take chances to get ahead. Simple as that.
  21. I live in one of the wettest parts of Europe. Sadly we dont get much sun either,so the key to drying logs outside is airflow. I use IBC crates placed on a bed of type 1 gravel,with a 10" gap between each one.Covered on three sides with a gap between the covering and the crates,as well as a gap between the roof and the top of the crates. Dont split them too big and split them earlier than normal.I have already begun to split firewood for the coming winter.
  22. No. As long as the Engine pulley size is retained as original, the flywheel pulley is the same and its run at the same RPM as original it will be fine. I have had two 625's and will always have a soft spot for them.
