I run this saw,the top handle version too,they are silly light,but a reliable tool,mine have done a couple of years hard work with only one brake band as a spare,not anyway near as fast as say a stihl ms200,(a VERY good saw if you can find one),but for sub 4 inch diameter stuff it will do you well.

Great pics,very interesting & amusing!

Some realy valid points here about getting people out to work & changing the attitudes of those who chose not to work,& the system that encourages/nurtures that mindset. I think the government is too cumbersome to sort it out,and too sensitive to the oposition harking on about 'unfair this & human rights that'. I would love to know what percentage of people get a free roof & ride through life,& how much of our resources are used up to this avail,must be one hell of a drain on the system. There are those who by circumstance cannot find a way to improve their situation,but its all too easy for the freeloaders to hide amongst them,the system is too cumbersome,& these people are actualy quite good at it!

That is a good start,get a length of any rope you have to hand & get them knots so many times you cant forget them,and remember TDS,(tie,dress,set). As in tie the knot,dress it up to make sure it is all correct & tidy,then set it by loading it & removing any slack or bunched parts from the knot. I often practice with small diameter rope from a chandlers,but best off using the rope diameter you intend to use for work,as they have different dress & set characteristics.

Now that looks superb,lovely sorted truck.

Bring it on!! & enjoy it while youve got it...wont be long before you look back,get the odd sleepless night thinking about time gently carving out an old man from a young one,each time the clock ticks... my mirrors are left grubby,me sights shot to bits,& I used to be an adonis..ish:001_rolleyes: Forgot to wind the clock years ago:biggrin:

Go for it mate:biggrin:....you know it makes no sense at all,but might get the ball rolling for a laugh!

The 2oo is a belting little saw,that & a 346xp covers all bases for light stuff.

A soft link is a must on your steel core as said above,I use a grab with soft link,& like the fact that it can be shortened one handed,but a bit more of a pain to lengthen than a friction hitch.

Pics Please!!!! Might not help you feel youthfull again,but a good laugh is mandatory to keep my waistline down at.. Ahem..51!

Give your ideas a go & see where they leed you,maybe a bit of kindling,sell it from home with an honesty box if you are in a suitable location.

Not knocking the after market stuff,but thats one reason I go for genuine ones,the thought of a shattering knife/blade as posted on here in the past does not bear thinking about,much as there other reasons why this can occur. So torque the fasteners down right with a good clean thread,after cleaning the contact areas on the flywheel.

Me, I always go for genuine ones,you can try orange plant too,mine were at a good price,& super delivery.

I have an 010av,fun little saw,might also have a spare in the shed(there was one kicking around),if you get stuck for the case pm me & I will see if its still there.
-
Yes,thats another great read,good humour in it too!
-
Steinbeck's stuff is all a great read,have to agree about the grapes of wrath.
-
Stihl also make one,I think you will find the chain speed very slow.

Pays to clean the threads up then copper ease the thread & seat of the bolts,but dont spludge the grease down the female threads.
-
Haha,thanks Alex.
-
Nice work,what trimmers did you use for this?
-
I use it in all my hand tools,gets a bit expensive on some jobs,but I cant see me going back to pump fuel.
