  1. In fact any tips appreciated on this, was going to have the chip hood coming 60cm over the chip back. Is this enough? Overkill? I was going to have trailer drop catches on it so I can whip it off in a flash and shovel that chip out.....dunno what's really essential. Ta
  2. Sun always shines in Northumberland bolam. Literally barely gets dark. Not alot of hay to be had though
  3. Just finished Making the back bar removable for to chip into, bolted it down. Just a bit coming over from the front to stop chip that goes straight up and a bit of vertical bracing and we are good to go.
  4. There is of course no plate under oil filter just on the casting it has those numbers. I shall get the cover off tomorrow and have a good hunt about see if I can see any other numbers or plates. Will get some pics too
  5. My engine says 625 on it is the only Id I can see
  6. Thanks appreciated. Some very helpful folk on here!
  7. Please tell me more about that chute extension. I have noticed mine seems to have a pretty glorious scatter fire on the chip. Thanks

  9. Made a start on a chip box for my pick up today! So far so good. Got all the bits of for 15 quid from local scrappy and some bits I had knocking about. Had a lad help out who is a good with fabricating.
  10. I wouldn't right the echo one off. Not used it but meybs worth a look at
  11. Get a cheap 365 and pop a big bore kit on it. Can be got for 200quid from time to time
  12. Jotul 602 should be in there.
  13. Thanks again rob. Bar was waiting for me when I got home from work! Looks sturdier than the 150 bars I have had ( any one else got through these quite fast?)
  14. Still not heard or got my chainsaw back. Rang them 10 days ago and they said they were awaiting parts? Surely Makita uk organise some stock when the sort a massive recall on dodgey brakes?
  15. Yep it's getting fitted next week!
  16. Thanks for advice. Found a wire earthing out. No idea what it as from ( just came out the loom and went to nothing) wrapped it in tape and chipped away all day. Auto electrician cams out. He was very impressed with the wires. He is to to spend a few hours sorting all the rattle dodge twisted together wires. Something is drawing 300ma the whole time....so batteries running flat if left connected. Great when it's running though! Ta
  17. Any hints anyone? Won't start, starter not clicking, heater plugs relay sometimes clicks but not reliably. Throttle solenoid doesn't move like it normally does with ignition on. It's a wiring thing I'd say. Fucked about wiggling wires got it going, worked dead well, then wouldn't start again. Any clues as what wires to look at for circuits or relays to check etc. The back of The control box looks like a nest of bodged soldered leccy tapped wires etc.
  18. Aye I was almost started it hope I'd bent it so I could have bought either a 2t one or a small billiards ( meybs a stein 2000) not convinced it's worth the extra for the bigger one?
  19. Thanks everyone. I guess I just hasn't noticed the slight kink before.
  20. Can't tell if this portawrap is bent or has always been like it? Thinks it's the little isc one. I imagine it would bend the other way under load? The welds look great no cracks at all. It's taken some abuse but nothing absolutely mental. Not been shocking it with 1 tonne lumps or owt. Ideally someone has one and can have a look at theirs. Thanks In advance for the helpful replies.
  21. I nipped the chain on first day and bent it badly. So have been on other chains since then. I would also suggest changing chain and it may benefit from a wee tune up if it's not had one
  22. I rate mine. Not as zingy as my 200 but def doesn't bog down in the cut. Ergonomics are nice and lasted well so far. Not used a t540 enough to compare. Defs well good for the money
  23. Piston part no. 1128 030 2051 with no cylinder
