having read all these comments...... does anyone know where i can i hire a short bloke for a quick photo shoot...... my 'bulk bags' look far bigger when compared to a dwarf

did your engine originally have the laminated gasket? this was introduced with a stronger sump which in turn allowed higher torque angles after initial problems with the k series engine, as you probably know the head bolts tighten in to the sump, the head gasket should be replaced with like for like & new bolts always fitted, this isnt made very clear unfortunately! you can tell from the engine number which gasket should be fitted! i would keep away from radweld etc unless you have a visible leak!! good luck!

this is more to do with weight distribution...... if you have loads of weight at the back or front of the vehicle you will be overweight on axle weight but not on gross vehicle weight... does that make sense??!!

can anyone identify this saw?? has loads of compression,,, will try & get it running when i get a chance
-
robinia is really slow to dry i have found, id like to hear more views on this though!!

you need to get your battery 'drop' tested,this tests the battery under load, local garage will be able to do this, the battery needs to hold over 9 volts whilst under load, if this is ok then look at possible alternater probs, always start with the most 'consumable' item... the battery in this case!! may be worth checking the water level of the battery if it isnt sealed, if your unsure on this get the garage to do it, battery's contain acid & give off highly explosive gases whilst being charged!!

if it's only occasional use, you cant go wrong with the older big stihls, 051 - 076 they are readily available second hand, parts are no problem, a big saw running a smaller bar has to better than a small saw running a big bar??
-
ive got a husky 61 that has no bar or chain, but otherwise complete, was running ok 12 months ago, been in shed ever since, pm me if your interested, wouldnt want much for it!!
-
big saw for little money?.... stihl 076 reliable & cheap!! not the quickest saw but def worth considering

im in the midst of building a sprinter dropside with an 025 hiab, the crane has no support legs, has anyone else built or used anything similar? my two options are build hydraulic support legs or fabricate some outriggers using heavy duty 'wind down' prop stands, the ones i have seen only have a swl of 500kg, the crane is capable of picking up 1000kg @ 1 metre reach.... although the crane is unlikely to be used at it's limit im unsure if the prop stands will be strong enough? any ideas welcome!!!

54 Plate Mercedes Sprinter Tipper 311 Ignition/electrical issue?
robbo 110 replied to Sal's topic in Arb-Trucks
under the steering column is a fuse box, the main feed wire to the fuse box is held on with a 10 mm nut, check this wire is tight & making good contact....... disconnect the battery before you tighten/check it thou!!! -
hi ben, id be very interested in that, p.m. on its way!

you gotta love bank holiday w-ends, is it pimms o'clock yet?

prices vary a lot depending on where you are, ive just been offered some nice cord @ £39 per cubic metre roadside... per tonne you can expect to pay anywhere between £30 & 50 roadside... it is very much a 'how long is a bit of string' debate!!
-
sorry for yours, & anyone else's loss but it's a bit harsh to immediately lay blame on the fairground fraternity, if i was a clever thief i may consider stealing in an area where somebody else will get blamed......

thats how my seller is pricing it, i started a thread last week about this, i think it works out expensive, a trustworthy member suggested double the cubic meter to get a tonne of cordwood, ie 2 cubic metres of wood = 1 tonne....... i dont think he is far from wrong, from what i can gather most forestry folk allow a percentage for the air space in a stack, so lets say a stack of mixed hardwood cord that measures 20 cubic metres, should in theory weigh around 10 tonne if it was green oak or beech, less if other wood, should that stack be priced on 10 cubic metres if a 50% air allowance is taken into consideration? if anyone else can add any input into this im sure alot of people besides myself would be appreciate it!!!
-
im in a similar situation sam, is your seller giving any 'air allowance' in the stack or is he pricing on how the stack measures?
