    Worn motor

    One rounded spline drive

    Thanks for replys. Yeah feed rollers not the chipping blades. Bought the complete kit from gareth at spectrum (great service). It includes roller body, blades, bearings, spline drive. Managed to get old ones off today, both bearing were shot. It had an older sealed bearing with the welded spline drive. The other one was the newer plastic type but with no grease nipple! Also one of the motors had damaged splines resulting in a rounded spline drive, so will have to get a new motor as well 😢 Will try upload some pics

    Just bought a complete top and bottom roller kit for my 98 150. Any tips or things to look out for when replacing the old ones? Many thanks

    IBC cages

    Thanks for the reply peps. But I am only after the cages, can't be assed fannying around with weird and wonderful substances in the containers. I currently used old slate crates but I keep breaking them with the tractor.

    Used to store logs. Where can I get them from and how much should I pay?
  8. Liam88
    Yep. Doing it this way you only have to drill holes at one point on the ladder on the side and not through the steps like an alternative method
  9. Liam88
    Here's my idea in action. Worked really well.
  10. Liam88
    I just bought some ladders and they were the box section type. I did a similar thing but used these. Drilled two small holes in the side of the ladder at one end and used self tapper to hold ladder in place.
  11. Liam88
    Just a thought, could you use this ladder attached for every plank you do on the alaskan to avoid curves at the start or the end of the plank? This would give you over hang on either end for more accuracy.

    Re the mini mill guide rails. Just set it up today - bit of a pita. 1. finding a straight edge 2x6 from a building merchants is hard! 2. the edges of the 2x6 were rounded causing the outside edge to slip off when screwing down. 3. the rails are too short - in trying to fix problem 2 I had to set the rails in 1/4" from the edge to screw to flat surf. getting them to line up is very hard! Solution - Rob D can you get hold of longer rail lengths? Say in 4ft, 6ft, 8ft etc lengths. Anyway, I managed to get it all set up in the end and the results are worth it. RobD did you mange to try out your new mini mill ladder set up as in pic above? Looks good! Cheers

    How about these as an alternative? Truss Clips 50mm Pack of 20 | Structural Fixings | Screwfix.com Cut the legs to just below the height of the ladder and use side holes to fasten to ladder?
  14. Liam88
    Hold up, I've sussed it. Don't screw it to the log before you mount ladder! oops
  15. Liam88
    Thank you for re post. I don't quite get how you slot the ladder into the brackets? As in one of the pictures shown the ladder is angled so that one end fits in but what about the other end? Surely you'd have to re screw the brackets to clamp it in place. Cheers

    haha, good luck - its a big lump! Stem is off the ground for you and metal is easy to see.

    Felled one today for a client down west to mill. However I noticed radial splits in the base that corresponded with splits in the trunk felled. Are they likely to be further up as well?
  18. Liam88
    Thanks for speedy reply. I have heard that it is very versatile. If I was to mill into flooring, what dimensions would I be looking at? 6" x 3/4"? And how would I stop it warping? Cheers
  19. Liam88
    I'm slowly building up a supply of various lumps of macrocarpa to mill up (mostly large trunks around 30" in diameter). I have the alaskan 36" and mini mill. Any ideas what this wood is good for so that I can mill to the appropriate dimensions? Or is it simply whatever I can find a use for e.g. I could do with some 6"x 2" beams for building sheds. Your thoughts would be appreciated Cheers Liam

    Spud you beauty - looking forward to getting it back. Definitely think its worth it as it was given to me for free none running 6 months ago. If there's anyone on here with chainsaw probs I highly recommend Spud (steve) :-)

    I wonder if you would get a little movement on the friction hitch as well in a fall using the Wrench? Cheers
  23. Liam88
    Yo! I'm very intrigued by this system ever since I first saw that F8 revolver system the other year. The wrench seems like a great progression onwards as it is smoother than the F8 where I found the F8 too hard to tender slack. Imo I can see this system has a particular advantage in accessing and working in large trees compared to drt. Because we are now dealing with a single rope and not doubled up as in drt, what does this mean in terms of rope selection for the climbing lines? Would it still be the same? Cheers Liam

    Nice RG BenR. I believe the instructions you seek are: http://www.samsonrope.com/site_files/DB_C1_EndEnd.pdf Thats a Class 1 Double braid end to splice (thats if sirius is a class 1 double braid). Has 85% strength rating according to samson, Toss reckons about 80% (I prefer Toss's instructions on this splice). I wonder if the bury lengths are too long to use the splice in this configuration? The loop would have to be bigger if they are making the RG harder to retrieve. You've got a fid bury length for each end, that's 2 fids in total for the splice. Maybe a double fishermans is best in this configuration or a stiched splice (i.e. teufelbergers slaice)? Cheers
  25. Liam88
    Yea, you can't go wrong wrong with samson. Just remember to stitch the cross over in the double braid splice before you do the final bury - its the only important step they miss out. If you can get anything by a guy called Brian Toss, he explains this process (Brion Toss Yacht Riggers, Sailboat Rigging). Cheers
