once i cud see the CAT i mangled it with a screwdriver and a pliers in order to make it smaller and get it out of the access hole i had made.
-
Basically i removed the silver coloured deflector from the exhaust and used a dremel to cut a 'U' shaped access hole in order to remove the 'CAT', i bent the steel upwards in order to access the innards, then all i had to do was to press / bend the steel back into shape and screw the silver deflector over the top. Spud tuned it up for me and it improved the overall performance of the saw. I may have some pics. somewhere. I would love a ported and muff modded 360T /362T.

Old School Grinder Praxis 9hp stump grinder
wicklamulla replied to Therebel's topic in Large equipment
i have one too, it's the 13hp version and i bought it cheap 2 /3 years ago. It uses the quadra blade system but apparently can be converted to run on a different cutter head and teeth setup but i have not looked into it. They are ole skool and use the hand brake to allow you to sweep across the stump which can be tiresome compared to a turntable version which is easier. Toro are still marketing it.

i have calls like that from time to time and i let them give me their spiel but i am a sceptical so&so and don't buy into crap.

i prefer a stanley knife blade over a pin but that syringe idea may be a good alternative.

how ya Demps, the 2511 has changed a wee bit in terms of a different coil and possibly a different variant of the carb. but apart from that i'm not sure what else may have changed. They are now part of the 'X Series' line up of Echo saws (what ever that means!). I run 2 now, one on an 8'' and one on a 10". I would love to try the new Echo battery powered climbing saw that is due out soon. The 360 TES has had some changes to the cylinder apparently but looks unchanged apart from that. Ya lookin' to spend some Francs?

i would not be happy with a filter in that condition in any of my machines. Maybe it's the special edition AdBlue filter!

i'll try and get u a pic of an 80 series Land Cruiser that has been made into a 2 seater pickup.

agreed, my Quadchip is amazingly frugal but i couldn't care less really. My previous chipper could drink £35-£40 worth of petrol on a very busy day but it didn't faze me as long as it was reliable. I'd prefer a diesel chipper that drank a bit more 'motion lotion' but was a savage bit of machinery at snapping gnarly forked branches and gobbling dense conifer limbs without choking up.
-
don't forget the limited edition 165 diesel with the higher output kubota engin, 45 hoss power i believe.
-
the second i read of Wayne mentioning the fuel pump i thought of Ty in French France. Julian from Greenmech rang me this week for a courtesy chat regarding my chipper too. Good service and comms all round.
-
if ya do start it and pish the neighbours off then please capture it on video! It'll remind me of the time @wisecobandit fired up an 090 outside Radmore & Tucker when they were located in the middle of town, he was making a right ole racket and my ears were quivering as the noise and shock waves assaulted them. The staff were not amused...

is that water Eggs?

i put on my headphones to filter it out.

i tink a lot of MK6 Transits have non functioning glow plugs and seem to cope ok.

i guess some of the replies come across a bit arsey and they may be a delicate flower (akin to meself!)

Me n' She are out doing a small emergency call out this morning, pricing at lunchtime and then a small reduction in the afternoon. Easy enough for us to keep clear of customers and get the job done with little or no interruption. I only intend on doing some work with my Wife as 'Groundess' as the lads are all self isolating and keeping clear of social contact.

Started temp job to make ends meet for a while?
wicklamulla replied to Squaredy's topic in General chat
a mate of mine works in engineering and is at home self isolating, we were ribbing him recently to see if he was gonna go back to 'exotic dancing' (male stripper in a dance troupe) like he did in the 1990's. According to his Wife he's hung loike an Aintree favourite and when he does 'the helicopter' it's usually detrimental to the the lamp shade and axminsters finest. ? -
also consider a Nissan Terrano.
-
sensible price, sensible buy. prolly better than a Defender too.
-
ya i removed the spark arresting gauze and trimmed up some of the gaskets that were a bit oversized to aid gas flow. I too considered removing that T piece but i left it in situ. I will have mine tacho'd at the dealer and see how it performs then. Great wee saw just a bit 'flat' compared to the other offerings on the market.
-
ps. the 501SX is a real nice saw but performance is a little lacking in my experience.
-
i believe the TES-C version comes with the tiny cutting gear ie; 0.43 chain and bar where as the TES comes with the chunkier chain and bar which in my experience is not as nice to use and is more lightly to cause the saw to bog down in the cut.
-
small and medium chainsaws are where it's at i reckon so they concentrate on that segment of the market as 70cc saws don't come out as much as say 50cc or 60cc saws.
