    I know a girl called Summer. Funnily enough I haven't seen or heard much of her this year either.

    You don't really want any trees close to your soakaway. When we moved in there was a willow above ours and it destroyed the soakaway. Had to have the tree taken out, the roots dug up and a new soakaway put in.

    Cheers CC, but I already have a duff one! I managed to get hold of one today from the dealer that sold the saw. He had one in his drawer, it's a Briggs & Stratton number 285155121ZE and is also used on other saws by the looks of it. He had some parts website up which showed half a dozen companies offering the same part. They are available on ebay too. I don't know why the Komatsu parts list shows 285155120, maybe a supersession?

    I should watch Woody Allens "Sleeper" for inspiration...

    "an inspiring mechanic"? Is that him who was hammering away in the barn and then when it was dragged out into the light proceeded to look under the bonnet for the engine?

    So, Tony Christies song was actually about a cure for constipation then?

    One day Chuang Tzu and a friend were walking by a river. "Look at the fish swimming about," said Chuang Tzu, "They are really enjoying themselves." "You are not a fish," replied the friend, "So you can't truly know that they are enjoying themselves." "You are not me," said Chuang Tzu. "So how do you know that I do not know that the fish are enjoying themselves?"

    Fish are not dogs. Apart from dogfish, of course.

    Here you go. I knew they were out there. Looking at the picture, I'm sure I even had a model one when I was a kid.

    No. I have heard of some engines used on machinery that used a carb and petrol to start up and then when running switched to diesel. I've never heard of a road going vehicle having this overly complex system though.

    And why exactly did they send bird **** by boat? Were there no birds overseas in olden times who could provide the necessary? And what exactly did they need bird **** for anyway? You've not thought it through, have you?

    Jesus! He still believes the media blackout!
  13. brassmonkey001
    Thanks for that.

    Now that I can beleive!

    I have often heard this said but whenever I have asked people I know who live with their wives and two or three daughters if it is actually true the reply has always been "It's a load of bollocks!"

    Sadly missed.

    Oh, now there's a surprise. He can't get hold of the bits. I suggested that a Ryobi one might fit and he said "if you get one we'll fit it for you. We're not going to order bits to see if they fit." I don't think I'll be taking anything else there.

    I have borrowed a small electric splitter that supposedly delivers 4 tons. I'm still having to do most of the splitting by hand. If I was looking to buy I wouldn't consider anything under 7 tons.

    Still waiting to hear the verdict. Should hear something tomorrow.

    Oh yes, they'll always come down if you wait long enough. But owners tend to prefer them alive for some reason.

    I'm in Salop so not far from Cheshire. (I assume you're in Cheshire?) I'll see what the man says in the morning.

    I like the way it clangs as the ram plate hits the cutter! Must need sharpening quite often.
  23. brassmonkey001
    Come on man, you can't leave it on a cliff-hanger like that! Don't tell me I've got to watch next week, same time, same channel to find out if he actually succeeds in splitting it?

    Going back to the compressor I bought, he also had another 25l receiver from an almost identical compressor but no motor or anything on it. I did wonder about the possibility of joining the two together thus giving me 50l. Does anyone know if this would work? Would it perhaps half the life of the pump?

    Not that huge. Your business is blowing tyres up after all.
