This sort of thing ?

If he truly is self employed,he should invoice you.

I think me and Gaden kit are the only ones who think this is not right, the question was is this right, and the staright answer is no, i have made thousands of chains up, if there is an odd drive link count you either loose a cutter or have two running the same side, if you have an even number there is no reason to have two cutters running the same side if the person making the chain does it properly, a bit of penny pinching here i think.

You're not the only ones.

It will cut wood,but it's not a professional job.

What !! you touched your phone??? your sacked…...

:thumbup:But its a great photo,Steve will want a copy of that:biggrin:

The 310 and 66 will both be 3/8 , but the 540 will be 3/8 low pro,so 2 different guides needed.

If you had a 170, a 210,a 240 and a 660 you would need 4 different roller guides.

And the top plate angle would be set at 30 degrees,where as Husqvarna (and Oregon) recommend 25 degrees.

So it all depends on what saws and chains you have.

It sound to me as if you running it with the choke out.

 

Read the operators manual and check the start , stop,run and choke controls.

 

If in doubt pop in to Devon Garden Machinery on your way up to Heathfield because MVF won't have a clue:001_rolleyes:

Why did I write D.G.M ?

I meant Shinnersbridge garden machinery at Dartington,next to Totnes and South Hams Tyres.They are Husqvarna.

Or when the crane is mounted to a tractor and is 'parked' on the trailer being towed, allowing crane to float as trailer turns/goes up and down hills etc.

That's a more logical reason than my example.

There are 3 wires that go to your grey junction box.

Presumably one goes to a 7 pin trailer socket to give you 12volt, maybe when the side lights are on.

Presumably two goes to an electric switch on top of one of your joy sticks.

Presumably three goes to a solenoid that works one of your spool valves.

tomtom is suggesting that operating the electrical switch will pull one (or more) of the spool valves into a float position.This would allow the rotator or main lift ram to float e.g when dragging a bigger stick close enough to lift.

Something like this, but so far away

Isuzu Rodeo Denver 2.5TD | eBay

£8950 + £1790 VAT

If its Isuzu you want, the main dealer of the year is at Saltash and there's another dealer at Ashburton.

Does that include delivery ?

I have a TD40 with a metal fuel tank on a Tondu brushcutter.

Your problem sounds just like mine does when the tank is running out of fuel.

It often gets crap in the fuel line and in the float bowl which needs cleaning out.

Another thing to check is dirt in the fuel tap which very few machines have these days.

I think there is a small gauze under a cover on the lift pump 10mm spanner. They block all the time if there is any muck in the tank. My old 1984 525 is terrible for getting pints of dirty water in the funl tank every few years. I think it must puddle on the top and leak in or gets in through the lock on the fuel cap must sort it one day. I would loosen the pipe on the fuel filter and pump the lift pump to make sure you have a good flow. If it has a turbo have a look there next.

Also check the Lift Pump Diaphragm for perforations while you're at it.

Surly it all depends how high or low the file is held. If you use a plate type file guide the hook angle should be the same whatever file size you use. If the file is too large a diameter it will cut into the tie strap.

Exactly:thumbup1:

But if your filling freehand the file will sit in the centre of the previous groove , giving more hook as the O.P suggested.

I occasionally use a larger size file to clean the gullet out on half or more worn chain in the workshop but hadn't considered using a larger file routinely when a chain is worn but it makes sense on thinking about it.

 

I am working through a load of Oregon files I bought and I think they are crap as they don't last at all in my experience, the stihl files I think are brilliant. Considering just buying these in future anybody use valorbe? Are they any good? The one in my bar dressing tool seems to last and last.

They used to recommend a smaller file on a worn chain ,( because the cutters slope away from the cutting edge) , to prevent you filling into the tie strap.

Hi WAINY is this as MUCH AS POST AND RAIL THANKS JON

4 rails look great until they start eating them

You need to order Stihl PM3 chain - part number 3670

AFAIK 1/4" pitch Oregon is only available in 50 gauge.

I was under the impression that no one under 16 years old could use a chainsaw in a work environment.

IIRC you can at 15 during the summer holidays if you are 16 before the autumn term starts.

Black top should have a black sticker.

Just a thought, it looks a lot like a semi pro my dad had (possibly called a rancher) with the 254 sticker.

Like a 51 ?

I'd agree with early 1980's - Several saws of that era were AV models.

Anti Vibration

The Stihl FS56 that you mentioned is straight shaft but it has a flexible drive inside the tube.

The FS94 is the cheapest Stihl brushcutter with a solid driveshaft.
