Which month do you start using your stove again?
htb replied to BowlandStoves's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Never a month its not lit. Cooking/ drying/hot water -
Large forestry companies working for forestry commission, no tickets or up to date with FISA then no work, well that's how it is up here.

Check your engine oil level. Had one loose tracking power before, seal gone on pump, pumped hydraulic oil into engine, which then tried to lunch itself by running on the engine/hydraulic oil as it it was blowing it through the breathers into the inlet manifold. Very smoky and brown trouser moment stalled it by tracking till it stopped

Used to do it all the time, break the bead with a prepared piece of angle iron and sledge hammer. Tramp into well, tyre levers and jobs a good un. Now just go to tyre fitters.

Last time I shaved was in 1986, think of all that time saved being manly. Mind you not much hair left on top.

Looks nothing wrong with the bark to me, but what do I know. At least he knew what bark was.

That will be why I have replaced mine cos they were knackered lol

Straight swap for the old style, not recommended by Stihl but it works.

Esarco 8x8 / SS300 all terrain vehicle (ATV) WWW.ALLISONS.ORG Esarco 8x8
-
An Esarco as said made as prototypes for MOD. Chassis numberwill be something like Sabateur, normally just behind nearside headlight. Was avaliable as 6x6 or 8x8, front axle steered on both but on the 8 wheeler rear axle steered as well. They weremade with V8 engines, Perkins Phazor engines and 6cyl VM. Transmission was either Auto or manual mated to normal L/R transfer box mated to another L/R transfer box to give 8 wheel drive. Propshafts and radius arms allways. Thing of a 110 transfer suspension on a 110 or 90 and overlap another in between the gaps. They were made as soft tops or crew cabs. IIRC MWD werethe final company involved. Think army went for Supercats etc in the end. They were very interesting to drive on and off the road. Got an article somewhere about them will try and dig it out

I think it does, not so much on bigger saws, but the top handles 200/201 run crap on supermarket stuff.
-
Sorry. I use non supermaket fuel and Stihl green oil(HP super IIRC). All my saws are non autotune so less fussy.
-
ditto that. Mind you we were clogging up Elm's last wk 3 70+cc saws in close proximity starts to make your eyes water

approx £19 verses approx £7

Variable as I lengthen and shorten depending on number of wraps/braids. I just buy 10m of cord at a time and make my own tying the ends with fishermans knots cut ends are taped and glued with superglue.

13 stitches and out of work for a few weeks. Thanks silky!

Tis but a kiss. -
IIRC Hedra is the same as Blue tongue. I run blue tongue with a VT and hitchclimber and 8mm OP and depending on the weather wet or dry I change the number of wraps and braids to get a nice performance from it.

Don' t buy his replacement oil pumps, A friend bought 2 from him and they both went pop and nearly blew engine. Fitted genuine and its been brilliant since
-
So your near 6k is this yrs tax bill plus a payment in advance for next yrs tax bill. Your tax bill next yr will be reduced by the advance you have already paid its a hurdle you have to get past. I agree the the £3800 seems high.
-
csa potentially bothering you
-
The other side is cold surely because it is not energised all the time only when needed
-
Was running blue tongue with spiderjack 2, worked well. Changed to drenaline and it slipped a lot but changing the worn out spiderjack body cured that, to be be fair it was starting to creep on blue tongue as well. Drenaline a bit harder to grip than the B/T but I wear gloves when I climb anyway so not a problem.

Bob you not got a spare one lurking in a container somewhere.
