Hi @Stubby I get you. I used to do the same with chains on my Motorbikes. Too much lube attracts , as you say. Thank goodness for o-rings. My experience with my GB nose sprockets is they seem to dry up and become a metal on metal very quickly without loads of grease. Then bang.
-
Thanks, to explain, I've had a couple of failures on my GB milling bars. Maybe getting a bit over sensitive but it seems to me putting grease in rather that relying on oil seemed to make them last. Cheers

Hi All, What am I doing wrong. The Greasing syringe ( for lack of a better description) keeps getting blocked. It gives similar resistance to me applying grease but it isn't reaching the nose sprocket. Has anyone got a better tool/device for doing this. Or am I expecting too much from a £4 thing?

Just re-watched it. I like the extra long dogs to stop the exhaust setting fire to the log ( I assume)

Hi Rob, @Rob D Didn't know where else to put this. Recently I have had cause to use your Whatsapp service and to use the regular email contact systems. On both occasions (you, I believe) responded extremely promptly and were extremely helpful. I was dissuaded form converting my GB 3/8 to.325 Thanks for this ... and was separately directed to correct Stihl Nose Sprocket, despite my local dealer not being able to even give me a hint at the right one. Thank you once again and I hope you continue to do well, as your customer service (to even the silly old farts like me) is absolutely TIPTOP! Cheers Bob

I hope you've had a smashing day and moved on a load of stock. 👍

I cheap out. Old petrol and 2 mix in a pot with an old paint brush to apply. Wipe down after a few mins with paper towel then a blow down with the air line. Generally clears everything.

Hi Saul, How do you dispense out of the 55's. Is there some pump or tap you use to fill a combi? Cheers Bob

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
Bob_z_l replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
apparently no. From Wiki.... The two giant sequoia drive-through trees have both fallen: Wawona Tree fell in 1969 in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park Pioneer Cabin Tree fell in 2017 in Calaveras Big Trees State Park[ -
That's well priced. Is it all metal construction and good with Milling chains? Yes. Cast....something. The motor is quiet and housed in aluminium. Yes, I would say so. Have a look....here is the manual. Ultra Mk4.pdf Available on their web.

I had a cheap grinder it's ok on everything except the ripping chains for milling. I recently bought a Portek and the ability to set the angles correctly has transformed my sharpening. The Granberg still goes into the woods with me but the bench s master. Portek Ultra ChainMaster MK4 chain sharpener – FR Jones & Son WWW.FRJONESANDSON.CO.UK

I was looking at adding roller wheels to my panther mill. I was going t use cheap skateboard wheels on an extra long M8( I think) slotted in the rail. Might need to bush out the bolt... to be seen as I've not done it yet.

Plantoil 2-Stroke Oil - Results of long term use of this product?
Bob_z_l replied to Floclimber's topic in Chainsaws
Cheers @Stubby Makes me feel a great deal more at ease. Did you have to re-tune your saws a some others have said? p.s. I've just read more on the Stihl site. Their Moto Mix uses Ultra HP so I might go that route when pushed. -
Plantoil 2-Stroke Oil - Results of long term use of this product?
Bob_z_l replied to Floclimber's topic in Chainsaws
Sorry to hijack: Looking at Aspen @Rough Hewn but like to use a fully synth 2 stroke oil. Do you (or anyone) use the 4 stroke mixes and add your own oil? Or are you happy that the oil they use is good enough? I know milling is hard on machines and want to be super sure before I change. Quite happy to go on the search for super unleaded until they phase that out. -
Hi @harveyWhite I used a 25mm square 16 gauge box steel length. Seems to be ok. An offcut from my scrap pile.

2 months. Ordered end of April delivered June/July from a reputable dealer. They get weekly updates on delivery times and should be able to keep you in line.

Sent you a private message

They shouldn't weigh that much if it's nice and dry. Can flip them over on the deck. Lad round here drives with them barely strapped. Often see them on the verge waiting for him to return. How he hasn't done anyone in is beyond me.
-
You'll be a "time traveller" going into that one. What a whopper. I look forward to your vids of it. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Are you sure you're not remembering the Rambo film where he joins up to fight the Ruskies? Rambo 3?

Were the bench legs an Ebay item too? I haven't seen anything like that n my searches. Mind if I pm you for a link?
-
Many thanks. For the £15-20 I can get one for I'm prepared to give it a go. If it doesn't work it'll go straight back on ebay and I'll move on. Thanks. Bob
