  1. no i left the strap a bit on the thin side it was just a bit on the sloppy side i should have left it thicker for the amount of lean it had
  2. we've got one like that as well snap did you buy from the bloke in st andrews ours knackered the piston and barrel last year and i fitted the 288 barrel and piston
  3. they were getting dragged out with an excavator we have both 230 and 3410 th makita saws the 230 are ok for very lite pruning and fantastic for connie bashing the bigger makita was as flat as a fart wish we had spent that bit extra and gone husky or stihl yesterday i ordered 2 ms150 as the little makitas are getting on for 4yr old and are getting worn
  4. its a pity you couldn't get carbide coated chain theres nothing you can do to prevent them now you can only make it noisier and more hassle to nick your kit then they go and take some other poor buggers gear that isn't so well protected
  5. yep no chipping involved customer was doing the clear up we were only dropping the trees
  6. my mate looked into them i think there was a supplier on ebay
  7. been a while since I've done a video so here we go
  8. I've got a pukka 395 in the workshop i just want to see how high i can get it bid up to
  9. I've just been outbid by £99 on it damn
  10. it sounds poorly explained to a court it looks like a picture could tell a thousand words
  11. curved blade with the end 3 teeth ground away to form a blunt hook so that you can reach further to get karabiners/ropes twigs etc
  12. ditto done the same they're only interested in fees i like the buy it now price it wasn't worth that new for 10 of them
  13. is that a small apple or a large hornet

  15. whats wrong with fleet guard stuff?
  16. thistle hydraulics in denny thats who i use 01324 821300
  17. try dingbros i think theres one in ayr they should be able to get fleetguard stuff
  18. just in the process of building one with a 2 cyl petters engine 700mm blade and it also drives a screw splitter
  19. is this the ones they use to cut concrete
  20. maybe cheap but it might not cure the problem best to stick a gauge on then make your mind up
  21. sad thats close to home be safe chaps
  22. stick a test gauge on it and get som pressures would be the first approach if the motor has 3 hoses on it the smallest one will be case drain check the amount of flow under load if its 2 hoses blank both ports and try to turn the shaft with a pair of stilsons if it turns easy your motors goosed failing that blank off the end of the hose and stick a test point in them check the pressures that will give you max relief pressure
  23. nearest that springs to mind is akro in livingston or burnside at queenzieburn
  24. if there are any hoses that look a bit iffy replace them any hoses that are near bodies fit some of the spray guard on them it works really well . the machine that had the blow out i wonder if the recoil bolt was broken as there is quite a bit of energy stored in the springs
  25. tracked chipper have rubber tracks on them and generally don't have the same high pressure in the adjuster as most don't have a recoil spring like metal tracks there is also a one way valve in the adjuster so that when you put grease into them it can't get back out there must have been something done wrong in tensioning the tracks
