  1. yes it is up and running we take it to a few steam rallies and demonstrate it will try to dig out some pictures
  2. Thanks very much. The 070AV I bought tonight after trying it out for 1/2 an hr £280, The 08 cost me 1/2 a load of logs both work well. I also have a 2 Man danarm. I had several old saws but when I had a break in a couple of years ago they cleared me out !! We replaced the new saws for daily use but I am always on the look out for an old saw
  3. How do I work out the approximate year of manufacture of this saw and what value ? The second smaller saw I am not sure what model it is ! this has a chain brake the 076 does not
  4. £20 the lot just hook up my tractor unit to their trailer bring it home round trip less than 20 miles
  5. This is it about 13 ton in total I will leave it to the experts to tell me what it is ! Just some of it
  6. Chip board manufacture turned it away ETC sawmills plus 2 others refused it !!! Then I got a call
  7. I get a phone call this morning.Would I like some oversize softwood ? Haulage contractor has it on a trailer nobody wants it !!! Happy days £20
  8. yes 4 cylinder got 4 sleeves 6 cylinder got 6 one for each injector. Mine started just loosing a little water ran it with a bottle under expansion hose for a bit but it got worse then started running warm !
  9. I had this issue with my 956xl I thought head gasket so I ring our local chap who is time served IH man . He says unlikely to be head !!!!! I was not at all sure but asked what else ?He says they have a sleeve in the head for injectors,they look like copper.He tells me when you do a head always change them He says he has a way of drawing them out and changing them with head still on tractor.so I said well lets change them anyway still not thinking it would be the cure and thinking the head would be coming off anyway ! He was right when they came out you could see where possible 2 out of the 6 had been passing from combustion side into water space Job sorted
  10. I am just using 3 year old Sycamore that's been out side you would not be doing that with Birch !!
  11. The budget is not set in stone but in the region of 5/7 k
  12. I do about 3/400 ton of firewood each year, out of this I have been milling the sycamore this is used for clogs soles.I also take any good oak and ash out for milling. Most of this is milled either with the Racksaw or Chainsaw mill.I would like to have a better set up. Now would I be better setting up an old bandsaw running a 4 inch band or a more modern bandsaw on a narrow band ? It seems like I could do either for similar cost but which option would be best ? I don't have mains 3 phase but do have a 25 kva 3 phase gen set so I could run electric or petrol/diesel. What do others who have been in this situation think ? cheers Neil
  13. I would say not much to choose between lime and birch
  14. I am looking for Hardwood , we are in between Whitchurch and Wrexham
