Thats the best reason to send it back imo.

That'll be due to the snow.

The different types of 3/8" chain are the low profile ones ie top handle chain and the gauge ie the thickness of the chain.Well apart from the cutter style. None of this will matter aslong as the bar physically fits and the oil hole and adjuster line up as niftysteve says.

Oh really:scared1: Fracture pruning is the future:thumbup1:, or is it the past:001_unsure:

Might be best speaking to a parts dealer since if there should be a filter or something there they will know.

I nearly always have a written quotation but thats more so I dont forget what needs doing! If their a nice customer and its going well then I dont mind doing a 'bit' extra, you just have to know when to draw the line, and tell them. When you know its a cutomer who is going to be specific about a thin or reduction just get them out and make sure they are happy as its going along, you just need to firm that once they are happy with the height/ that bit of the tree then they wont be getting anymore done once the climber is moving on etc. You do have to remember we are providing a service and it should be 'slightly' flexible.

Sums it up fairly well for me. Even when you 'pollard'/'top'/'hack' a tree to within 1mm of its life you can still do a professional job. If you just want to do and promote what you think is professional work then good on you and good luck. As for H&S, I reckon most people involved in tree work do a fairly good job when you compare it to many other jobs involving plant/machinery/heights etc.

When I grow up I want to be a spaceman. Failing that, switching my brain off and peeling prawns for a bit might be a relaxing change.

What is it you mean by the oil isn't running along the bar? Does the chain pick the oil up and fling it off if you hold the tip of he bar close to a piece of wood while on full throttle?

I would be surprised then if there was supposed to be a filter or something there next to the exhaust. It looks as though something has melted. Ive had a look on a parts pdf and couldnt find anything. If it was me I would plug it and try it out, checking to make sure you dont get a vacuum in the oil tank. But, it could cause probs if it is supposed to be a breather.

Have you removed the exhaust and thats what you can see?

Bump. liking the tractor.

On bravo +1. it is a funny film, watch it if you can. Dont let the kids though!

You old ones really are having a bad time of it. Remember oldies, 'stay safe out there' And buy better boots. Oh, nice1 for not breaking your neck btw.

I finshed mid week and managed to dodgy an emergency too.

Yeah its go snow any everything:thumbup: Are they Santa's sleigh tracks?

Come on boys and girls time to change the scene to something a bit more seasonal. If you havent got a good pic just try google images, its were I get all my good arb pics tha I pass off as my own:thumbup:, well, theres no decent ones on this site! Ohhhhhhhh, well it is the season to be merry and have a laugh. Have a good Christmas all.

Just under 2 hours.

Nasty stuff indeed! Ive had the odd bit whizz past when things havent gone according to plan, that vid makes you think what if it had connected! Fair play to the bloke not passing out tbh.

You are going to be popular then. If its for business purposes then the council will charge you business rates if they find out. They might also decide that you cant do what you want to do with the land. Catch 22, ask them and it might be a no then you definitely cant go ahead on the quiet.

Its a cracking drink,having one right now! Oh Penfold you can ge it in 660ml(ish) bottles if you hunt about.

My deepest sympathies during your time of loss.

Iirc the first husky top handle had a small nosed bar which was rubbish ascit kept throwing the chain, especially when re topping old connies:thumbdown:

Thats the best line a boss could ever say, and you know they mean it 100%

Oh dear God! Yes your right they should have saved up more money to go on a better flight as then they would be ok. And how dare anyone save up there hard earned cash to go and enjoy themselves and have the audacity to be upset when there are people dying of starvation in Africa! The selfish buggers:thumbdown: Besides Why do we think they are all going on holiday? Christmas is a busy time because lots of people fly back home for the Christmas holiday season to see loved ones etc. People like to moan, people love to moan about people moaning and people love even more to criticise moaning people moaning about others that moan. Also when did airports work the way we would like them too? Ie you can find out if there is a delay before you need to leave to get checked in? Plus they always give an accurate time about how long the delay is going to be so you can make plans. But yes everyone who goes out in the snow for anything less than a saving the world mission deserves to freeze to death and it's just tough they should have had the decency to go back in time and leave like real men and women did. Oh except for arb employees who should be getting to work at all costs no matter what or they face the sack or at the very least no pay.
