  1. Is it a 2 part mount or 1 solid part that joins the handle to the body? Looks like 2 parts now, so its either 2 parts or melted in half haha!
  2. Hi all, anyone had a 200T handle AV mount melt / dissolve on them? just wondering if the oil has melted the AV mount as its right under the oil filler ta!
  3. Oooh ... a bit beyond my skill level with the saw. Never attempted doin grooves down the length with a chainsaw. Doesnt need a grove the whole length, just a nose tap where the clip goes
  4. Bit of a mess about with a router but coukd use hidden deck board fixings, all you gotta do is router some groves in side of wood ( or use a chainsaw!) and screw each clip into the top of the blocks EASY!
  5. These facts are all bang on the money and true. They are a concern of mine, and i think should be everyones BUT the virus is here now ( 1 month in) so lets not work and be safe, fair point! But it will still be here in 3-6 months time, will your concerns still stop you working then? If ud be willing to go back in 3-6 months , why not go back now? Or may be more under control, but some fucker will still cough n open a door handle / gate post / delivery
  6. But its down to your risk assessment, if you cant work within the regs then yes you should not work
  7. Why should those that are working be shamed? It CLEARLY says on gov docs which are available to you all that we should be working inline with distancing, only CERTAIN types of business are forced to close
  8. Rustolen brush on is good, we use it on our contracts, looks like powdercoat when dry! Might be better than spray if suitible for your task?
  9. Some brands do have a system that once the lights have been on red ( cos not detected any approaching cars) for a set period of time, the do a full cycle of greens before returning to all reds. In answer to someone elses question, in normal operation they should only be set to all reds for 3 mins max. Can be longer during the TM setup / coning out / in
  10. Couldnt say that, it would give away my superhero ID!
  11. I owned a TM company a few years back, THIS is 100%, no more, no less, this is all the lights have
  12. Or another thought, check the throttle cables not frayed, stretched, or jumped out of its runners ( if there are any on a 700) or tighten throttle by the screw on the trigger
  13. 600’s, back plates off, fan and flywheel off ( its sort of dog bone / peanut shaped not round) , ribbed casing off ( its square) and its the plastic cog in there, £10 to buy. Plus some red gasket sealant, takes him an hour, plus 24 hrs for sealant to dry, OR take it to a workshop if ur not to adventurous
  14. Ok right oil, biggest cause out! May be unrelated but in the past month we have had to replace in 2 of our blowers the plastic cam that controls the valves. The small metal piece that comes out centrefugally ( if thats even a word) was getting stuck out which was knocking the exhaust valve at the same time as the other valve, causing low compression. Our fitter did it, i just get the reports, so im not sure the ins and outs of it all ( nor am i a fitter) but that solved low power issues
  15. What colour / brand / type of 2 stroke oil are you using?
  16. For £300 id just buy from them, least you know its the right genuine part, pretty important to get it right of something that is safety critical
  17. Why not go onto fisher fixings website, surly it will have technical info for their systems?
  18. But the end recipient interfered with the contract between supplier and courier and agreed their own acceptable conditions
  19. 100% agreed on the DPD front, should knock THEN use safe place. NOT F R Jones fault thought. If you hadnt ticked the safe place box you would have been sound. look at it another way, YOU sell an old saw on ebay, you post it off in good faith with DPD, the buyer sets tgeir account to “ safe place” and now blames you for the gear going missing, im sure you would say “ tuff mate”
  20. Why should they help, you downloaded the app, you set the settings
  21. The chute throat on the 230 is worlds away from the 150’s , a much better design, so much bigger but shorter, easier to get stuff in. If you wanna chip lots of big stuff the 280 is great BUT you can feed 7/8” through a 230 all day, on paper a 6” in life 8”. Although im sure TW would say its no good for the machine? Who knows, ours seems fine!
  22. Hi, i was talking to a guy about a tw230vtr he was selling, out of my price range but might suit you, we love the 230 tow so id imagine it pretty damn similar, low hours too! 2015 Timberwolf TW230 VTR Tracked Chipper (282 Hours) £15500 + vat ROVER.EBAY.COM <p>Hi, we are selling our 2015 Timberwolf TW230 VTR Tracked Chipper (282 Hours) £15500 +...
