  1. Veg oil does seem to gunge things up a bit. But hey its got to be better for you than mineral oil when its being sprayed all over you and your inhaling the mist.

     

    As to wether bars and chains wear out more, well I use more chain in arb work that I did in the woods, mainly due to concrete, nails, metal brackets, wire etc.. and I use fewer bars, as the nose rarely explodes due to snedding.

  2. Bad news those bolts. I did the same thing a couple of months ago. I drilled the head out. Then got the blade off followed by a bit of physical on the stub and hey presto.

     

    I have recently had the feed rollers re-splined the nylon bearings re-machined and a new bottom motor for less than £ 500 inc vat .

    ( The motor cost £156+vat. from a hydraulics specialist , ready to fit straight in. TW want £300+ or more for the same part )
