  1. Agreed. Combination of free moving air and heat.
  2. Check this.... http://www.motoculture-jean.fr/upload/pdf/038.pdf PDF parts manual for an 038
  3. I process 20 odd tonnes a year. Rounds are split with the X27 on a block ( every now and then gets replaced when a decent one arrives) and all the lengths /wast go on a stihl sawhorse. I like the chain that holds the smaller pieces in so they don't spin when the chain strikes. All goes on the deck where it gets barrowed to the stack or thrown into a bag. Not perfect, but I'm not high volume like some.
  4. Does it have to be a head Light if you are grinding??? At work we use these task lights to give a good spread of light.. AE0294 Rechargeable LED Work Light 10W 12-240V | Portable Lighting | Screwfix.com
  5. Me too. Not for tuning but as a permanent powerhead on the sawmill. The YouTube vid makes sensible suggestions on replacement parts to make it a more long lived item...seems a better bet than secondhand or off ebay.
  6. 1955 Mk2 Danarm (2 man saw) Nearly runs...
  7. Page 3 link #22 sold as 13 July 2011 http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/511560-post22.html
  8. Can anyone help with a PDF copy of the parts list for the 261? I used to be able to find copies on the stihl usa site for my other saws but can't find anything for the 261. Bob
  9. Sorry if the reply was abrupt. My sheds are similarly built, however I do dig the posts into the ground. I always believed a building that wasn't concreted in could be disassembled and moved was considered temporary. All the wood is stacked on pallets on dirt. No complaints so far and they are all clearly visible from a road /bridleway. Bob
  10. Ok. The shed is mobile. I do stack. When it's full a Tifor won't shift it. Or have I missed the point?
  11. From what I found...when I was looking....VW diesel engine (1900 diesel ) and everthing else seemed normal Agri standard stuff.

    Briquettes

    I like the briquettes ( 50mm ram pressed ones) Get rid of 30-50 bags (20kg) but only to a couple of people with stoves that run all day. They like that a bag can last a day and produce minimal ash. Then the dust.....sometimes there is a load. We have chickens so it gets used up there. Careful to get from producers that don't use MDF. Still a minefield and nowhere near replacing logs. For Sure. Eco friendly(?) responsible recycled product - Yes.
  13. I do leave the truck ticking over for 30 secs or so before switching off. Anything with a Turdo needs time for the turbo to slow down and running it dry was a no-no.... Or so I've always been told. Same as I wouldn't shut down my saws on full chat with the throttle closed. de-rail sorry.
  14. Knowing the way my local Hardware superstore works.... The logs would arrive (bone dry) on a pallet and then be left outside uncovered. Then a week later when the promotion is due.....forklift them in to pride of place front and centre... Bingo :-)
  15. Ditto..... I have a Jotul F100 and the sides get quite warm . Adds to the whole convection that it generates. The whole point I thought ....? Then, on the top I have a small mess tin with water (drop of Lavendar oil) to add a bit of moisture to the atmosphere if it gets a bit dry. Bob
  16. Still Laughing... Now where do I get a Marmoset? and how do I train it? Is it ok to spank monkeys :-)
  17. Cheers. I wouldn't be able to move anything that thick so I'm keeping everything sub 3" Bob
  18. First apologies for the silly questions...new to milling. How thick are those slabs? Can you say why the word carvers would ant them so thick? Cheers Bob
  19. Similar job for me. All day spent with the 660 and Rob's Chinese Mill (Cheers again Rob) on a 14' piece of Pop. Lovely planks coming off but bloody hard dusty hot work (last Sunday) Cheers to all for the motivation to get into my new favourite hobby. Bob

    Instagram?

    bobski_logski Not always arb related but generally have a woody connection :-)
  21. very interesting, but I work that as being 5ft dia. I'm fresh into milling and can only cope with 30" tops otherwise I'd love a crack.. Bob
  22. Many Thanks. Thats a lot of reading. Greatly appreciated. Bob
  23. Got it... Many thanks Bob
