  1. What a video! Did he just demonstrate that they oil?
  2. Temporarily forgotten name. I have asked a pal who should remember.
  3. Also depends a bit how often you work for them? Odd days here and there I would expect to charge more. Steady days every week might well be a bit less.... Good luck getting anyone to agree on subbies rates on here! Good Groundie with aerial rescue and a saw 100 to 125 quid a day. Good climber with plenty kit and saws 150 to 200 per day depending on how much a beast of a day it is. But you know it'll vary depending on where in country you are, what competition is and what people are used to paying.
  4. Just got round to fitting a winch. Will get a splice on the plasma when I get a chance.
  5. Correct , its not easy. I will be in touch before I go and bare you in mind if I come across anything else
  6. If you don't get sorted out give me a PM. I am due a trip to the wonderful truck scrap yard in Sunderland soon.he usually has many merc rims and tyres. Might no be for a month or 2.
  7. Get a ms361, pop a 9 pin 325 sprocket on you'll never look back
  8. I'd just wait until your handle breaks and then send it back for a free fix
  9. Yes, they a decent for sure. Feel a bit heavier than 440 but def gutsier. Few threads on them on hear already. Rad more tucker doing them cheap atm. There has been a recall on brake handles and I think the one above which is new on Ebay wont have been done but this is foc
  10. Second proper one seems fine. Its Only come out to play for a few days so far though
  11. I did mine with a tree surgeon/ wood Carver when. Had a belter of a time. Dragged branches for 2 weeks and had good craic. Had to pay to go his insurance, had a go and spiking up a stem of two. Watched some class big fells. Didn't get a penny, but had a belter of a time. Turned out to have been an effective work experience.
  12. I bought a used one. They did the recall no bother didn't even ask. Bit of a fanny on but got sorted eventually. Tbh the part they changed seemed totally fine before anyway. But the new price from radmore isn't that much dearer is it?
  13. Pleased you at least have recovered this!
  14. Did you blow the extra 25quid?
  15. The 79cc is the one Jonathan . Same weight more punch. Like a 440 vs 460
  16. Also double check it's the correct gauge chain for bar
  17. It's what turps is made from, which is pretty damn antiseptic I'd say. I'd say you were not imagining it. Also love the smell. More than I like "pine fresh" toilet cleaner like
  18. Have these. Bit shit but work fine
  19. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F251473365516
  20. Looks incredible there. Definitely makes me want to visit. Thanks for sharing
  21. I'd get a complete carb kit with replacement needle give it a good clean and go from there
  22. Often the parcel force website is cheaper than the 3rd party ones by the time you have insured it fully etc. But its wierd certain weight are so much cheaper through parcel monkey and parcel 2go etc
  23. Parcel force via parcel 2go or parcel force website. Never had any bother with them. Unlike others
  24. Yes I have. Also northern arb know about. Chains not pre stretched so wouldnt fit even though same DL as chain that was previously fitted. To be fair I had a large 9pin sprocket on which didn't help
  25. Link? Interested but looks like a rummage is needed? What echo spares?
