I was given a Dolmar ps-400 saw the other day. It was apparently not working or so i thought..... anyhow the chap had bought a new one and given the old one to me. When i got the saw i emptied the fuel out, popped some fresh in and and had a quick look about it and got it started on the 4th pull excellent. I whipped the sprocket cover off gave it a clean in there, filled the oil res up and started the saw to check for oil delivery, which it did, i dressed the bar and put back together. All it needs is to sharpen the chain and its good to do some work. Looks quite mint if i were to give it a good clean! stickers clean etc as are plastics I've had a look and found out it to be 2.3hp and the equivilant to a stihl ms210 is this right? if it turns out to be a little belter, may treat it to a fresh chain without them safety links All in all i'm happy and love tinkering in my spare time

Good afternoon, for starters please don't take my title the wrong way, i do not mean there are no good companies in the north west! What i do mean is: Are there any companies in the north west, that are good to work for, do interesting jobs and good to learn from? to work with a team that is keen to work and all aspects of the job? Did that make any sence? Currently looking for another company to sub to within 25 miles of barnoldswick, lancs would like to go north than south Cheers

Go for it, especially when the the 500 euro's will be retail and they haven't cost you that much!! Look at how much it cost you to produce that volume and it will look a different proposition! it'll look a bargain

I do get some work off the company yes, but theyre quiet at the moment so hit and miss. I've spend 101.00 on the truck this morning just on parts, fitted a new timing belt kit and aux belt myself... so wear and tear is always an issue with everything, i have to pay to maintain the truck so will have to charge for its use.

Hi everyone, i'm due to be getting my truck signwrited, quite a big area.... Just wondering what you have/ what kind you prefer? Are you just a name and a number with logo? Are you a name number logo and slogan person? Are you all of the above and bullet points of what you do? Do people class signwriting as a big business card on the side of the van so it needs points of what work you do etc? Struggling a bit on what to do..... got a design i made with bullet points so to speak, friend thinks just name number and logo would be better.... What do you all think? any help out there cheers chris
-
As for invoicing, i have a small reciept book just for small stuff and for firewood etc.... as for different jobs i have a tmeplate with my logo on/ letter head etc...... only just designed this. My question is this..... to get a book sorted from a printing firm and pay 150.00 + or to buy some 2 part ncr paper and print "X" amount off per week to take along with you?

Hi there, Just changed the bloade on my tw150 for some new ones with the intension of sending the old ones off for sharpening. On removal of the old ones, i've inspected and at the lowest point from (damage) of blade to the wear marker line is 2-3mm..... i put them up to the new blades and they have seen a lot of use and are smaller so will have been ground before, just wondering if its feasable to have these ground again or are they too close to the wear mark? cheers Chris
