  1. I'd look on some of the most recent threads. The Rope Runner and Bulldog Bone threads have recent photos and videos. There's also an excellent video about the Clip n Step HAAS and boots.
  2. Thanks Steve I have done all of the above, except I didn't use WD40, I just used air. The plastic threaded thing behind the clutch is perfect. The metal worm gear thing that the plastic thing meshes into does have a flat spot on one of the 'teeth(?)'. However, when I rotate the plastic thing, the metal worm drive rotates nicely and I don't feel that it gets impeded in and way. The rubber tubes are defiantly not blocked. I can only thing I can think of is that the worm drive is broken inside, out of sight. Dunno! I'm considering a good soak in the local lake might solve the issue!
  3. I particularly like the part where the RAF flew over as a practice running for bombing the caravan park!
  4. I like the look of the Backbone. It looks strong so in the event of an impact it should fine, where a carabiner may fail. I'd get one if I didn't already have a big DMM rigging plate.
  5. What's wrong with that David? There are loads of AAAC companies round here that do that kind of thing daily! :lol:
  6. Did all of that and it's all good. The only thing I can think of now is that there is a blockage in the pump. I blasted it both ways with air. I'm at a loss.
  7. For someone who promised to be off the booze and pies, there's an awful lot of booze and pies in these photos! 😂😂😂
  8. So I dismantled everything necessary and discovered that the oil pickup must have nestling in the corner and it also got cut by the chain! Unbelievable! So, I removed the worm gear thing and rubber hose, cut the filter thingy off the hose and cleaned out the hose. Put it back together and the damn thing still doesn't oil the chain. Frustrating! All the visible worm gear parts look fine but I can't see inside it. Any advice appreciated. PS: I killed myself then tried shouting but neither worked.
  9. 👍....👍
  10. Why d'ya say that?!!
  11. I had Continentals on my U1200. Got about 25k miles on the backs then changed to the front for another 3k miles. That seemed quite good IMO.
  12. When he offered something else you should have insisted on a BMW M5!
  13. Alternatively, Helly Hansen and Under Armour stuff is good.
  14. Real tree surgeons wear Wife Beaters all your round!
  15. If the chain is bouncing and producing a small amount of dust for a lot of personal effort, you've got the chain on backwards.
  16. Do you mean like the one Greenmech make for their tracked chipper?
  17. Hire in a machine or even better, call a local tree surgeon and tell him you have a free tip for him. Don't accept any Oak woodchips as they'll make your chickens ill.
  18. Same as yesterday here.
  19. Probably to shoot himself in the foot! Hahahha!
  20. Lots of plant hire companies have them but on a small machine the grab isn't on a rotator so the usefulness is restricted.
  21. Any pulley will do. You will have to retrieve it at the end, unless you buy a Pulleysaver.
  22. I was going to call you Jon. Graham's coming to take some but I'm not yet sure how much.
  23. There's going to be a lot of 6ft lengths of it Clive. It's in Reigate in January if you want it.
  24. Is Cedar good as firewood? I always thought not, as I was told this once upon a time. The question really is: Is Cedar good enough to sell? Thanks.
  25. Not yet. I haven't had the chance to try taking it apart.
