Or someone bought a handle and stuck it on it?

Spot on! Truth be told,I'd rather not work for friends or acquaintances.

You may well be confusing North America with the Rest of the World Sir. Bucket Trucks are only Common in North America and indeed the Continental US and Canada. Surprisingly most Tree Work in the World is in my experience and estimation carried out with a minimum of Tools and equipment.

Lee Do you think there is a Governmental prejudice stemming from a negative social perception of the Travelling community?If so what is the goal of the Governments "agenda?"

Do all professional chainsaw users think joe public users are fools?
Mike Hill replied to egnsean's topic in General chat
I think its great that anyone can walk into a shop and buy an 088.Basic Chainsaw tickets don't teach you how to use a saw like that,much in the same way your Car Licence dose not teach you how to handle a big V8.Its nice to know there are still a few little "Freedoms" to be had. Chainsaws are not that dangerous,not really.Its abit like this job we do,for most of us its the most exciting,Macho,different and unusual thing we have done regularly.So in that sence,Chainsaws may well be the most dangerous destructive and scary thing we have handled or used. -
Can you give us an example?

I was once told "its not what you are selling,but how you sell it". So I have rebranded all my Firewood. Here is a Glossary of Terms: Kiln Dried:Pile Covered with a Stolen Tarp Air Dried :Tarp Stolen off Pile Oak: Any Hardwood without Tell Tale Bark Attached Woak : "White Oak" Actually its Willow without any Bark Canadian Furnace Ceder :(Leylandii) Assorted Fruit Tree: Bits of Plum Tree,mainly Branches Sprayed with Ribeena. Soft Wood: Pallets I have nicked If any Clients moan that any of the above won't burn.I offer to visit and show them how to start a Fire Correctly.Its a great way to have a look inside their House etc.

I sold a Cube of Oak the other day for £100.I even included stacking it for the Client,thats a great way to have a look around for anything worth Stealing.
-
Appreciate that Garth! I will pull it off and take the measurements before I give them a Bell.
-
Thanks Tom! Thanks Mr Treequip,the Bearings I got Raped over were the Main Bearings.I will measure the UJ and make some phone calls,it dosn't have any manufacturers name on it.

The "UJ" on the Top Feed Roller Shaft in my Jensen 528T is becoming Slogged out.Does anyone know where I can source a complete replacement? I require the entire assembly as the Roll pin has sheared a number of times and the UJ ridden up the output Spline and Slogged the UJ out. I would like to Source the parts outside of Dealerhsip Channels,as I paid £600 for "Special Bearings made soley for Jensens" to find them available for 1/3rd of that elsewhere.

Put your Rope up high and straight to you Branch,get your body down low or you aint got a chance. Put a re direct in,if your angles to flat If the Branch is to thin then Crawl like a Cat. Thats what Mick told me to do.
-
I was thinking about trying this out.Does anyone here have a background with this system? I think it looks quite relevent since it began at Street level and has been developed for the Police and Military.

Shame they wern't Greyhounds.
-
Spot on. To be really good at this or probably any job,you have to work outside the Rules to a degree.
-
Grind the left side back and reshape?

Generally I perv around German Ebay for Mog bits.I bought a Set of Tyres with 80% tread for less than the cost of a single Tyre once. These look good too.¨ Unimog Mercedes 4 Reifen 10,5 - 20 MPT NB 38 inc Felgen bei eBay.de: Ersatzteile, Teile Zubehör (endet 19.01.11 10:04:31 MEZ)

Sawn off Chainsaw! Praaaaapppeeerr Jaaaaab!
-
Agree. Since you have already quoted and had the job accepted,what bearing does the kit have? I don't think Customers know what to expect Vehicle wise.I mean,how many times are we still offered the use of the Clients Ladders or Extension Cords?
-
Nice Video! There are plenty of Critics on here,curiously they choose not to share Videos of their work
-
I see. I have a Belt with that sort of stuff in a couple of pouches on it.Same idea I suppose.I had a "Side Saddle" mount on the side of a Pump Shotgun once,but it felt too "Tacti-cool" for my liking.
-
But painting your Toys to make you less visable when hiding from your "fruity freinds" is probably more gay than having an ammo holder on the Stock of a Rifle. Why do people in the UK carry Spare Rounds on the Stock?Did Andy Mcnab tell them to do it?

Airsoft is Gay.

Here is the Jungle Carbine I bought late last year.You don't find many that were produced during the War in good condition. I have all the .303's now,from the Martini Henry to the No4Mk11,P14 etc.

I steal things.Costs me nothing so the margins are huge!
