  1. i had a look and it did seem too wobbly to me, saws only a couple of months old mind, ill just replace and see. thanks carl
  2. wow quick on the draw guys thanks, yep it does just that, we,ll fit a new one and see if that clears up its idling woes!? thanks carl
  3. hi what are the symptoms when this small roller bearing is worn??? thanks carl
  4. i have the red peltor ones, they are pretty good, had them a few years and ok so far. easy to leave them switched on, and volume can be knocked by high collar jackets. i like them but i havent tried any others? carl
  5. you cant beat a tracked machine for a helping hand!
  6. we have used a short soft sling around stem and a bit of 4x2 between two guys for heavy ones. a very short sling around the stem , or two for two people. the end of a ratchet strap could act as a hook, dunno what youd do with the other 5m of it tho! iam sure that earth must be a 50/50 mix of recycled lead, how can something that size be so heavy!!? enjoy carl
  7. classic renault design, probably took them weeks to design in that annoyance!
  8. id say to be honest youve probably put off a lot of prospective bosses with your chipping n raking comment, as youve kinda implied your not keen on it. in my experience a work experience persons ability to do the mundane crap end of the job without a fuss counts for a lot. that said maybe you just got unlucky with a piss taker firm? hope you get some luck with it, just add in " willing to do anything!" just my 2cents worth. carl
  9. hi gray, how are you doing the taper on these splices? i tried cutting the ends at an angle as suggested somwhere but didnt seem right, is it a case of removing strands? thanks carl
  10. just about every year that i can remember!!
  11. thanks, are the screws special ones or can they be bought from a hardware shop? if your up for posting them cool but dont worry if its a hassle im sure i could source some here. thanks again carl
  12. cool thanks for that i will check it out . carl
  13. can you get them to fit this saw as the plastic molded one look like they may wear? thanks carl
  14. look like a good combo, tracked chippers really come into there own on that sort of stuff( and pretty much every other chippin scenario imo!) carl
  15. probably the ones i will end up with, the left ones with the tough lower leg caught my eye tho, bit dearer but could be worth it. thanks carl
  16. er do you mean the ones on the left?
  17. thanks for the replies, which of these two trousers are people wearing? carl
  18. ive always had stretch airs type "C" but have noticed that they do a pair with the ultra tough knee fabric that covers the whole leg from the knee down, anyone tried a pair? do they last a bit longer as mine always seem to get ragged there from the hanging saw etc?? thanks carl
  19. cant really see how thats any better or quicker than clipping it back onto the rope? maybe iam missing somthing!?? i think for all round strength and ease slings are hard to beat. carl
  20. agreed all the models are smiling but you can see" **** my modeling career is really going down hill modeling power tools" written all over there faces!! should use us, when the courier van arrives with a new toy, now thats a genuine smile
  21. i had a chain that a file just wouldnt touch just kept skidding about, ended up taking to the shop where they took it down on a grinder and then was fine after that...odd not sure if thats whats happening to you? carl
  22. looks like you sorted it in time, the one where i work went in the same areas.
  23. carlos

    Zip line

    cool photos, what are you doing with all the stuff once its down there? thanks carl
  24. keep an eye out for rust on the cab, espacailly if it has that thick rubberized underseal on it as it can rot away inside and look fine. carl
  25. thanks for sharing that lily white, certinly food for thought and i guess to make the courier worth while id have to get it modded and tweaked too:biggrin: took it to work today and used the compressor to clean it up and noticed that one of the head bolts had come partially out so i guess that cant of been helping, so tightened that and will try it again. thanks carl
