and me!

Yeh,I put a filter on the tank end of mine when I replaced the pipe,easy job to do & well worth it.
-
Is it a new machine? If its more than a couple of years old yo may have cracked fuel line between the filter & tank,easy to replace,only costs under a tenner if you buy the hose from a decent garage. You wont see the cracks as they are under the braiding/hose covering,but they suck air &the engine wont run right if at all.

Go to orange plant,you cant afford a blade failure for a few quid,and they are good people too!

Well done mate,& thanks for the update.

I have the 125 timberwolf which has rubber fuel lines with a braided material on the surface,the rubber inner had broken down so it had cracks along it's length,very easy to replace with automotive hose. If you dont get sorted with the other sugestions on here,its worth replacing,I got mine in a length for about ten quid,(no braid),from a decent garrage. No sign of any leaks,but it sucked air. New lines and it was job done.

If the building is of soft reds(bricks), or rendered with a stone fleck,or old wattle & daub,be very careful how you price it,and depending on the structure You may not achieve a perfect removal without surface damage or the inability to remove the holding signs of the ivy. I love these jobs,especialy if the roof is in old slates & the ivy has got under them...Split slate,clatter clatter etc!
-
So far never had to use it,but its a must have in my first aid kit,I would rather it go out of date and replace it than not have it if & when . Get 3 or four of them,sometimes one is not enough in a panic on a windy day!

The bit you cut out will be on the hinge side of the plastic case,cut it so you have rounded corners or it will split in the cold with vibration etc.

Got nothing to do with suspension problems,why derail a good post with grafic pics of a car accident?? I hope you actualy know the implications of suspension trauma if you work around climbers.....jeez:001_rolleyes:

Advice needed!Very akward, arrogant boss!!!!
geoff replied to badger wrestler's topic in General chat
we all know right from wrong,if you are knowingly going out to cut a tree you understand to be protected then don't do it,if you work for someone who deliberatly ignores the rules,like them or not then you will undermine your principles and your credability . Simples. We all have to earn a living,feed the kids,etc.that is a fact,so why ruin the future for a few quid today? It obviously goes against the grain for you,so check out the facts,make sure you are correct, and stick to your principles. Long winded post from me ,rules are made to be broken,as some are absurd,then some make a lot of sense! -
I use aspen in all my saws,Stihl,echo,and my only husky,the3120,they all run lovely on it. Waste of money..no,in my opinion, The last saw mentioned does drink fuel when you work it hard,and hence costs to use it on aspen compared to pump fuel,but sod the cost it works for me. Give it a try and see how you feel. The 3120 can sit in my hot tin shed for a good month or two and still come out sounding like a dog on steroids, and run without a glitch.

Get insured,and good luck mate,there is work out there.

husqvarna 576 xp & the TimberWolf Petrol 125PH Chipper?
geoff replied to bareroots's topic in General chat
Like the shovel tip,thetw125 is a great little chipper,soaked leylandi can block it if you feed it too quick,but there are ways of avoiding this ,so its not the end of the world. If you are saving all the logable stuff I think it would suit you fine. -
I use an old coppers whistle,indestructable and loud!
-
And a tin of 'Princes' makerel fillets in spicy tomato sauce will induce Steve to give you special attention in you training! Good luck,you will enjoy the whole thing.
-
Oh,and tell him geoff still has that old felling axe for him! And don't forget to take your own grub,Mr. Woodley is very protective of his own nosh!
-
Sort your makup out luv,oh & shave your legs.
-
Good stuff mate,you needed a cheer up,pleased for you!:thumbup:
-
Talking of clothing,take a tee shirt that goes bellow the waist,If the chainsaw trousers have braces on them you want one shirt under the braces to stop them chafing you,& the long one over the top & not tucked in,that way you wont end up with knickers like pinokio with woodworm!
-
If you are just doing the chainsaw maintenance yuo wont need it,if you are doing the cross cutting & felling,Take a whistle,oh,& first aid kit with a bloodstopper bandage,must have. The whistle is for atracting attention in case of injury/safety issues when cutting in the woods or up a tree.
-
Take a whistle!,sarnies,& a cold drink.also pen & notepad,& a thin waterproof top mate.If I have missed anything someone else will be along tonight to add to it. Iff you plan a future in the game,try and get some more lightweight trousers with all round protection,you will sweat buckets in those you are looking at.There are some good threads on here on this subject,good trousers will cost more,but you won't regret it when you work in them, Thry phoning FR Jones on 02088529668,loads of us use him & the service & advise is second to none.

I get mine pulled up in a bucket,works most times with not too much spillage.
-
