Any motor factors will sort you out, it'll only be a fiver or so. For example, a Peugeot 106 diesel (TUD5 engine) oil filter is an excellent fit for many small three and two cylinders such as Kubota and Mitsubishi.
-
'The mix is too light' is a common statement from many a poor excuse for a mechanic who can't be bothered/doesn't know how to look for other causes.
-
So did that go to court? Or were you in a pub after work?

WD 40 is cr@p. I recently had the misfortune to try their 'contact cleaner' as the excellent Comma varient is sadly no longer made. It's that good a solvent that it just smudged the writing on the whiteboard when I went to clean it. Hiding behind the name. Just like Draper and Dewalt

I agree that oil manufacturers should put a stronger dye in the oil. Green oils mixed into petrol can be particularly hard to judge. 50 to 1 is fine with good quality oil in a modern pro saw.

Put the tin opener down and step away from that can of worms! :lol:

Check out this thread and the end pic. That was 8 feet long, four feet diameter, and the 7.5t digger could barely pick the end up and lift it. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/milling-forum/63113-oak-butt-milling-sussex-surrey-area.html Telehandler is the same money to hire and will save you a shagload of hassle. I know it's not what you want to hear, but hey.
-
Why the hell did you dredge up a six month old thread just to write that?
-
Love it on my FS460's, they've never missed a beat. Would happily buy an Mtronic saw.
-
You'll not lift oaks of that size with either a 3 tonner or that skidsteer. No way. If it's not desperate I'd wait till it dries up (har har!) and use a telehandler. You'll struggle otherwise.
-
By the time you've messed around putting a loop around the stems and getting them to balance, you'll wish you'd bunged the local farmer twenty quid to lift them on with his loader tractor. Even if you find a 3.5t with a grab to hire (not common) they do not excel at lifting very heavy weights up high on to something like a trailer. How big is the oak?

6 a day is considered fine when in keto. I have that for breakfast, and sometimes again at night if it's been a hard day. Remember gents, you need cholesterol for testosterone production and all sorts of other bodily functions.

Inoff, what's your link with the Arb world? Your advice on tax is always on topic and interesting and you certainly don't appear to be a spam bot. What gives?
-
John's a top chap, I live opposite him. Shout when your down next if you want to come and have a coffee and a chat about diggers
-
I used to take immense pride in my saws when I was just a self employed cutter. Now I just sigh with resignation as I order another ten chains for my workers to trash.... Two stroke kit is bought new and flogged after a years abuse. But I love and regularly service my digger and other machines. So I'm not a total animal.
-
That's ridiculous. They're treating you as their little bitch who can't be trusted to pay tax, not as a bona fide sub contractor who may well have genuine overheads as such that he wouldn't pay much tax anyway. Presumably you are not some subby bricky who turns up with nothing but a trowel and takes home a onener in cash, and if not forced to pay at source would have no intention of paying tax. You are a genuine business buying fuel, expensive machines and transport? Or do the council supply everything and you are 'labour only'? If you employ people, then you would presumably need to claim back their tax which had been taken under CIS also? Registering as 'gross contractor' is presumably the best way around this?
-
If it gets to a month old (usually a can we've forgotten about!) then it goes in the mower. I write the date of mix in permanent marker on each can.

Modern fruit has been bred to be much sweeter than Paleo-era fruit since the agricultural revolution. And you're supposed to be avoiding all forms of processed sugar! If you run great on it though, more power to you!
-
Not in my book Huck, parsnips have a higher glycemic index than potatoes! They have been bred to suit human tastes since the agricultural revolution. Not Paleo. I agree that cheese isn't Paleo, but it has less than 1% carbs.
-
Drop the parsnips and the spuds, plus most of the fruit, and you might be able to call that Paleo. Don't get me wrong, that's better than a McDonalds and fries. But not Paleo.

255mm Evolution Rage 3 saw is awesome. Almost does a full sleeper so your Irko should be fine. It also cuts metal perfectly. I have a tile blade for mine for bricks etc. Evolution RAGE3 FP2552 255mm Compound Mitre Saw 230V | Screwfix.com I have the double bevel version for £310, it's great. I use it for fencing and decking, block paving and metal fabrication. True all rounder.
-
£20 would be cheap! You're spot on with the 'premium fuel' analogy also. You can't replace your body, after all. For me it's not just healthy, it's practical. I do 99% of my cooking in a microwave and a George Foreman grill at the yard, and it always tastes amazing. Sometimes cook on the log burner too.
-
It could be that. But given that the same symptoms apply to a blocked filter, then he should spend a tenner and ten minutes before worrying about anything else. Even if it was changed in September, it only needs a lump of crap to make it's way through from the bottom of the tank where it had been lurking (or even in a garage tank!) to clog the new filter enough to trigger the limp home mode.
-
Have you not changed it yet? You can thank us afterwards...

As posted earlier in the thread: I spend about £35 a week on all my food. However, I view food as fuel. I thrive on the same things every day. Typical shopping list for two weeks is 60 eggs, a whole pork belly including ribs, a pack of ground coffee, a pack of green tea, about ten items of green veg from broccoli to cabbage to kale, 2kg grated cheese, a pack of butter and twenty tins of makerel. Comes to about £70 I guess.
