    If its a mate of a mate and he wants it done cheap, whenever then my guess is he is expecting you to come in around £50 - £75 He knows you are just starting out so will be happy to use you as your overheads are low, he could probably do it himself in a couple of hours but doesn't want to get his hands dirty and is happy to help out with some work your way if your willing to do it cheap Your initial description if the work looks like a slow to make it last 2 hours or done and dusted in 1 if dragging the stuff across the garden for him to burn Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    If it pulls over fine without the plug then logic suggests that the plug is the problem Are both saws the same if so take the plug out of the other one and see if they are the same length below the seating washer that they seal onto when screwed in I suspect the one in the saw that wont pull over is probably a few mm longer and hitting the piston Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    The video at the start of this thread is 3 years old The other vid posted by the same guy identifying the company is only 7 months old May not be the same company although I guess some one with the right software could capture and enhance a still from the vid and identify from the high viz logo Regardless it should still be enough for the AA to justify a couple of spot checks or distance observations to see if they still warrant approval or not Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Mine came from the potato merchant in gilberdyke in east yorks (can't remember what they are called) but a search through the phone book or google should turn up someone nearby you Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Guess its down to how you use them I can get quite a nice rhythm going using the roller guide and sharpen a chain faster than using the plate type Just down to personal preference I guess Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Husky roller guide Even though all of my saws are Stihl I think the husky roller guides are a great piece of kit Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Would your little accident have been like the one my 660 had that where a tree ended up on it and won the fight Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    At that price it's cheap enough to try I could be wrong but the Stihl part number is probably for the bare tank only that will be a pattern part and looks like complete assembly with tank vent pipes etc so worth a try Have just ordered one of eBay for my 660 as the stihl part number was bare plastic casing only at £70 + vat whereas complete assembly inc postage was only about £40 for pattern part just need to wait for it to arrive now Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Store mine in metal stillages and large wooden potato crates Usually put them in stillages stacked 4 high once ringed up and then bring these down and split in to potato crates which hold about 1.5-2 cube (never actually measured) I do only split for my own use and go through about 20 cube a year Potato crates I got from a local potato merchant for £10 each once they get battered around and they replace them they sell off the old ones few nails and a couple of replacement planks and they do me fine Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    If you need a new cable I think it was j w o'pray in Hull that mine for the TU16 was from was around half the price of a new genuine one and came with the correct cable lay for the winch to grip spliced eye on 1 end and fused taper on the other and certificate sure it was only around £40 for a 10 mtr Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Buy the best you can afford whilst leaving a little in reserve to sort out any problems and get it how you want it I would think a 110 would be better from what you have said above and personally wouldn't go any newer than 300TDI engined models Get a tracker on it - my 130 has a tiso electronics unit fitted with a pay as you go sim so no monthly outgoings on it Get other decent security devices again my 130 has the X-Eng pedal lock great piece of kit and so easy to engage you don't think twice about using it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    But if someone collects in person and pays cash on collection the only benefit from a dispute would be for the seller in a refund of fees through eBay if he says the buyer didn't complete the sale And dispute raised by a buyer is pointless as if paid for in cash eBay can't refund them through PayPal as that was not the payment method used and you don't need proof of delivery if they collected and paid cash Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    There is a few older items amongst it but also a lot that looks very new You don't get that much of the same type of gear without using it, in which case it would all look more used than it does, if you only used it very little you would only have the 1 or 2 saws not that many The suspicious amongst us would say it looks like a couple of small hauls from a mix of dealer and user "jobs" and now needs rid of it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    They may just be hoping for the last minute frenzy that will see it going for almost full retail Or everyone else is right and it could be dodgy Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Shouldn't be to difficult if you have the right truck to take the weight that far back Last time I had any building materials delivered the hiab on there truck was rear mounted and reached forward to the cab to pick up stuff and swung right round with a good reach for dropping it off Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    If the timber had been secured properly it wouldn't have span, it is inanimate and just lays there Who is responsible for securing it before cutting? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Got my tracker from tiso electronics in Cheshire that is in the 130 and it can do the geo fence, remote shut off, alert on movement etc but was only £199 plus vat and no monthly fees as you put a pay as you go SIM card in it Tracking is via there web site but is free just log on to see where your stuff is after activating the tracker manually via text or it activating if geo fence etc set and activated As a bonus these units are also built to order in the UK not china Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Will give JB weld a google and see what it comes up with - I think this will only be a temp fix for a month or 2 until a new tank and handle assembly arrives in the post just could do with a better inflow of cash at the moment than I have actually got Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
