Just a reminder, but as far as I know, you can't buy asulux at the moment, but you can still use it up till end of this year, if you still have it.

You would be really lucky to get a good 70 plus cc saw for £200 ish. I would think carefully about buying a second hand saw off ebay etc. If I was you, I'd save a bit of money and buy a new 372xp (about £450 plus VAT) Will take a 24" bar all day. A proven good quality saw.

The way I feel today, it's to give up the drink.

Don't give up with the spikes. They make most jobs a lot easier, and safer. Like someone else said, when you tighten up the bottom straps, have a walk about and then retighten.

So you service your saw every day. coming home wet and cold, you still clean the filter etc. ???? I'm with skyhuck

Hope it heals well. your going to have to be patient as it will easily open up again. Still, posting it might stop this happening to someone else. Take care out there everyone.

I'm not going down this road again. Sticking to westerns

I disagree, the RAF had not been obliterated and the Royal Navy was at that point the worlds largest. An attempted invasion would have been disasterous for Germany. Yes Britain was at it's weakest point

I grew up in the 70's when Clint was king. I think he's great, but John Wayne was my western hero. My favorites include: The searchers (probably his finest acting, totally unlike most of his other films) Red River, another great western. She wore a yellow ribbon (watch out for another great western actor in there, Ben Johnson, a real life cowboy and rodeo champion. Later to win an oscar in the last picture show, also in The wild Bunch) Rio Bravo, a Howard Hawks classic. Watch out for stumpy played by the great walter brennon. The man who shot liberty valance. Made in black and white. starring wayne and james stewart. Stagecoach: wayne's big break. Made in 1939, it launched wayne in to the big time. Before stagecoach Wayne had mad dozens of b western churned out in a few weeks, without getting his big break. Although, in 1930 he had his first starring role in the big trail, he had to wait another 9 years for super stardom. Many of the John Ford directed westerns feature the same actors. These were known as the john ford rolling stock company. Many appeared in wayne's films as well. For example, ward Bond, Ben Johnson, Bruce cabot (king kong) John Agar, Harry Carey Jn Typical john wayne westerns worth a watch include:The war wagon: the comancheros (great music from elmer bernstein, composer of the magnificent seven ) Chisholm (full of regular John Wayne sidekicks) Rio lobo is another typical wayne western in the mould of rio bravo The same off-screen names also appear time and time again in wayne films eg James edward grant, waynes favourate writer. the composer elmer bernstein, directors Howard Hawks, Henry Hathaway, Andrew V Mclaglen, and of course his mentor John Ford. Not John Wayne, but Bad day at black rock with spencer tracy is a modern day (late 1940's early 1950's) western and well worth a watch.

If you were not VAT registered when you bought the vehicle, and now are VAT registered, you do not have to charge VAT on it when you sell it. I know because I was in this situation and rang HMRC. I'm not sure about if you bought it when you were VAT registered though

or it could be some sore of Euonymus. Thata what I'm going for.

Iv'e started getting my oil, chains bars etc over the internet. always had good service and chains are half price of my local dealer. I know, its hard on him, but times are hard

Thanks, thats what Iv'e been doing. Just wanted confirmation.

I have the rayco rg25 grinder. can others out there tell me what revs they have on the engine before engaging clutch. I have heard a couple of different stories. one said engine should just above tickover, another said engine should be flat out. which is correct?

I could make it go at that

check youtube for lewis winch, there's a few on there

it sometimes drives me mad, but it's only about 3ft long, and I find the benifits outweigh the problems it causes.

make yourself a telescopic hook thing. I use a extendable metal clothes prop with a hook on the end. attach with crab to harness. costs a couple of quid and is very useful not just for retrieving lowering rope but for getting your climbing rope back to you.

I do mine up finger tight and the oil filler is always pretty hard to get off, don't know why

for some reason you always seem to need a screwdriver or a 'knock' to open the oil filler cap. It's not just you. The choke/on off have been fine with me. I'm on my 3rd 346xp. I prefer that system to the stihl flippy caps. youve just bought a very good saw

looks like a glorified wheelbarrow to my. certainly won't be buying one

if you have a 4x4 pop it into low box and reverse. Its slower and easier to stay in control

a wise choice

That sentence reminds me of A brief History of Time

Can also recomment The Moon's A Balloon. David Niven's autobiography about his childhood. An old book, but one of the best Iv'e read. Very funny, nothing to do with films or hollywood, just his childhood, if I remember right.
