I could do it,depending where it is,if you want me to look at the job & give a price let me know on here,or by PM.
-
very amusing All.
-
Thats a lovely looking motor you have there Stumpgrinder,very nice!
-
Had a work mate with those webbed toes,I got him a pair of flip flops for christmas,his face was a picture.

I'm not familiar with this saw,but I cant see it being a problem to fabricate a new foam filter,if anything it would be better with it than without,(if it originaly had a pre-filter),as it would possibly run lean on the carburetion without the filter which is a situation best avoided as it can cause engine damage/failure. No doubt someone who is familiar with the saw will post soon enough,meanwhile,welcome to Arbtalk.

Looking good Yeti,as sam says I would drop a 200 lump in it for the grunt & economy on fuel.
-
Well your not on some parallel universe unless arbtalk is there too.. But I dread to think what the guy is going to get up to with the worn out wellies.
-
Looking good,should make a nice vehicle.

The reason there are so many after market parts is because there are a lot of old landy's out there,where as very few mogs,so no market for the parts. Yes the landy is basic,and thats a good thing for the owner as he can do most of the maintenance at home,saving on modern workshop rates. It is obvious you dont like the landy,your choice,but 'bits of cr*p' they are not,& a workhorse they most definately are,as many on here can testify. The technology advanced ones,not suitable for the back street mechanics are td5 onwards,& like so many other vehicles with an ecu & engine management they do require hooking up to a diagnostic computer if you have a problem with the engine,not the end of the world in a modern country,other than that the mechanics are as you say basic,& hence easy & cost effective to repair,& outside of a mog,nothing else over here will touch them as a 4wd working machine with good longevity.

Great colour coordination with the rope & tee shirt! Enjoy your SJ.

That looks a nice fresh truck Mike. Round here in Essex it seems a 4wd is a thing to aspire to as a status symbol,the ones that get me are those trucks with silly names on the sides,like 'raging bull',generaly driven by short pot bellied egg heads in football shirts,always puts a smile on my face.

Great picks ,I love pic 9 with the background.
-
Spud,I love it,its so good I might have to lay the saw up & just get it out now & then to improve my moods,its an ear bleeding rip snorting cutting machine,I let a good climbing mate use it on site for a tank full,( I never lend out a good saw in my absense),he was not aware that the saw was anything but a normal 200t,but on reflection would have swapped his for mine in an instant.

I have spent two days sanding down, teak oiling then using my own mix of 20 year old beeswax mixed with linseed oil & turps to keep up with the 'look' on my chelsy tractor,& I'm not alowed anywhere inside of the M25 now,spoilsports these law makers... This was before I transformed the old girl into a wood grain lovely fill your boots machine.. I will post a pic of the iroco boarded beauty in its full glory after I have checked it out for the odd mud splash & got her looking her best landy arb tipper by geoff321, on Flickr

Spud, had my 200t in some heavy eucs today,(the one you had 'on your bench'), & it was superb,& also very nice on the pick up of revs when doing a light crown lift on an ash,it is so responsive to the right finger,& seems to shut down faster when you come off it too.
-
That's a warming post,& I concur.
-
Will have a rummage.

-
I also sent a similar letter whilst the sale was running,seems the seller & ebay dont care.
-
Good enough lunge,but the dodgy face fluff realy detracts from the performance in my opinion.
-
Ouch,thats a bad outcome,I was hoping that 'us old ones' were going to get proved right for once:001_rolleyes: Thing is theres Agg running an Allen scythe on aspen...& me just running on borrowed time.
-
If that was sold after being reported a couple of times it raises my eye at the platform that lists these sales.
-
Thats my opinion too,& if it helps with our security then thats all the more reason.
-
We are showing our age on this thread Alec.
-
Well that narrows it down a bit, Anyone I see starting a fire with aspen would get the sack on the spot.But the aspen 4 works well in my zippo.
