  1. if you want to shorten the chain add a grab hook below the master link job done
  2. Chain Components for Lifting Chains at The Ratchet Shop have a look at this lot and make up whatever you like that suits your needs
  3. now you've got mewp and powerlines how close you going to be to them are they insulated ???
  4. do a 1 day streetworks course and your sorted https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/321056/safety-at-streetworks.pdf
  5. all i know is if the tree has failed in some way and the branches are on the BT line forcing the line down below their regulation height BT will remove the line until the problem is removed then put it back up reason being they don't won't the poles ripped down by a lorry if it catches the line thats only any use to you if the poles on the other side of the road
  6. i'd be more worried about the LV than BT
  7. BT are a PITA they would rather come out and fix it after you snap it than take it down we've had call outs were they wont take them and their on site
  8. mate that is a top tip I've tried it with diesel and had to pour loads away
  9. thats the point i was trying to make the OP said that the saw had a lack of power had the carb cleaned and still the same i always look at other options first ive know albeit a strimmer to have lack of power due to a clogged up fuel filter
  10. maybe there was nothing wrong with the carb in the first place
  11. and the one i use you can stop/start the engine from ground or basket no matter weather the switch is ground or basket the same way ALL the emergency stops work anyway keep us posted as to what the problem turns out to be
  12. if it works from ground controls but not basket could it not be the ground/basket control switch is faulty
  13. Yep and as it says in or over the highway so you could be dismantling over a pathway but mewp/crane parked up in the customers drive still needs permit
  14. its a rip off a small mewp is no bigger than a transit so why have to pay £80 quid to have it on the road
  15. and rolling another one with his foot
  16. Voted Clark's SuperTack Bio chain oil used to use stihl synth plus no problems with either
  17. or use a long ladder poking out the window just make sure you have more of the length on the inside that's the critical bit
  18. that's the way to go we used to do that double up a couple of 13ft scaffold boards 3ft out the window and 10 inside and you don't even need 2 fatties on the other end just someone who can sit still for 10 minutes
  19. pick them up with litter pickers then you don't have to touch them then put them in a sharps container
  20. make you right the arms snapped off that's why it looked to big to be the circlip same thing happened to my 261
  21. that's where it's meant to live in front of the the oil seal but that one looks to big how wide is it internally
  22. your going to need some if i remember rightly there's a circlip that holds the bearing in place as well
  23. the one i just did clutch drum out then drift it out
  24. i would think they look at the price of logs from a merchant and that is the deciding factor i wouldn't buy from a merchant either i do my own from our arising's but in all fairness i reckon the money i would spend on logs if i bought my yearly needs would be more than i save on gas
