Yep pleased its sorted

It such a horrible feeling after you have just put a saw back together! Done it myself also
-
Never seen or used one, but they were advertised as being a big American style workhorse. Howd you mean not for arb? More hairdressery?
-
Unless they are spoken for I'd like to try them on matty. Not far off needing some new boots
-
Real handy being able to open the back like that. Wtf?

I bet its class. Can tow about 5t. Will be thristy. And expect a bit large for 4x4ing about the woods

Something has to be done about this
-
Control box looks different as well? I guess so detail pics of the paint job would help as you could see if it used to be orange.

I use these when carving. Huge improvement on anything else in have tried. Only downside is either so tight they leave a decent mark on your face or bit gap which the odd thing can find it's way past.

They are pretty exciting stopping in the wet also!

Shouldnt be like that! Even Insas you can usually do 60 or 70 just noisey as hell and slidey on bends. Suspect they are badly out of balance or wonky/bulged

The gaurd is pretty good as well

Those hellish comparision websites seem to save me a good wedge every year

Resolved snapping issues?
-
Cordless grinders must be responsible for alot of locks and chains needing replaced I'd say

Had a few bigger 3/8 stihl bars do this. Dismantled and oiled sometimes tapped free with a toiny hammer and they seem to work again, but will stop again in certain wood (ash often).when its siezing often, up a tree having to drag the chain up and down on an edge of somethign does your head in quick smart. Reckon the sprocket bearing is borderline knackered. Expect it may have had a good pinch at some point. You can replace them usually. Think robd done a video on how to do the rivets on the nose sprocket

That's good to hear. I think also with Ladies there are alot of cobbled together ones with various engines/ chassis/ gearboxes or body changes which means there are often underlying issues with them. I like how they look and that they were/ are British made , but having had quite a few mates with them who seem to be constantly fettling them or with issues I'd not spend money on one. Not when for the same money you can get a Toyota. But then I've only had old merc trucks, VW's and Toyota for years, so I cant like for Like compare. They old hiluxes really seem to last well, e.g I bought a 96 hilux in March and I've done a uj and exhaust gasket in 10k miles, often loaded to the hilt and with trailer/ chipper

Your not being overly cautious. Either a con or just way too much trust required. Either way not worth the hassle

I'd consider an older Nissan patrol. Not had one but they seem well respected and used in similar situations as amazons/80 series
