  1. i wouldnt get out of bed for £32 p/m, only leaves about £7/8 labour, take off fuel,tax,ni, etc, would be working for about 12 pence
  2. price per metre,£60 p/m for 1.8m high, £50 p/m for 1.2m high you wont go far wrong at those prices, see if you can buy a pallet load of remix , will be cheaper that way

    im surprised steve (spudulike) hasnt given his words of wisdom about how the saw came to sieze in the first place,i would hate to see the saw rebuilt then sieze again due to a problem that has been over looked, where are you spud lol

    you would regret it if you did, when i couldnt get parts for my 153, i scrapped it, few years later with the help of ebay and forums like this, i found i could have got the bits i needed, gutted, hope you can get the old beast running again, i will keep my eyes and ears open mate
