    Multi-way would be perfect,if lookouts could warn a string of brush cutter operators of approaching public it would make the job a whole lot safer.

    One of our local Land Rover parts suppliers put on their cards that they could be used as ice scrapers,still got their card and allways know where it is! Only works with plastic ones like yours though of course.

    Cold Turkey here,a week in the Duddon Valley S/W Cumbria,no mobile phone coverage. A whole week without arbtalk will I survive? :The last point of contact will be a look left as I cross the river Kent on the A 590 watching for Mr Ed and his merry gang.

    I have bumped into this on several Land Rover products. These days all I do is to take the flow and return pipes off the steering box and use an air line to back flush the box.It is no doubt dangerous and totally bad practice but seems to work.My impression is that this problem occurs after the vehicle has been stalled and the pump has "kicked back" Hope this helps :blushing:

    If a lifting machine is on yearly examinations is it legal to use it for man lifting during the first 6 months?

    I was taught that the chain should snap back sharply onto the bar. After finding "Arbtalk" and reading other guides such as pulling the saw over a flat surface and how many drive tangs can be exposed,I found that the tension was about the the same with each. My tutor at the time said that I was probably running too slack and when I looked at my old saw the wear on the underside of the tip was there. He also talked about tension on solid noses and wear in sprockets making setting difficult,I listened cos he has been there and done it. It all is a bit subjective,at least now I am allways looking at the business end so well done Dave Grafton.:001_smile:

    I think that using bio chain oil and aspen in the saws is a cost effective way of demonstrating "awareness". To go bio on the digger would be very expensive. I know that gas oil is a horrible dirty fuel but using white or bio would hurt,and yet I can honestly say that all "new" plant is run to green standards.

    N.F.U. If you look after them,they look after you in my experiece.

    I looked into this a few years ago, the implications for design and particularly maintainance make it only suitable for industrial structures,so they say.Seem to remember "Latchways" as industry big players.

    Mine has a couple of three legged spring bungs in the front of the silencer,spring these out and there are torx screws behind.

    I was told that stolen plant transported in a fridge lorry could not be tracked! Is this true,or an urban myth, anyone know?

    The Daneway is nice,and if you want a change of scene,take the tube to the equally nice Tunnel House Inn.

    My most expensive hobby ever is .........trees. You would not believe what it costs; saws to buy,PPE to buy,climbing gear,training and the contribution to the NPTC.Then just when you are set to cut them down,you really just want to leave them up.At this point the book buying starts and the spend picks up.Oh did I forget the extra premium to the insurance co. But of course you do know.

    A good guess, but how DO? they make a chip with crinkles on all 4 sides?
  24. Canal Navvy
    How do they make crinkle cut chips?

    Saw one once that the owner had turned the rims round,taken the tyres off & ran it on standard gauge.
