L and s engineers are good for stihl parts. Plenty bits available for 075. I run normal 404 semi chisel chain on my mill. Oregon milling chain is also good. Speak to Rob at chainsawbars.co.uk as he will advise you well.

Sounds irritating. I sometimes ask my garage for a pre mot so they basically mot check it let me know what needs sorting I get it sorted then mot it and it def passes. Pretty easy solution is say.

My smallest first chainsaw
-
I see. The carb bolts had a rubber tube fitted. Sadly perhaps not the issue....thanks anyway handy tip
-
Aye there is a sort of plastic tube that pushes on over the h and l screws. What s it for?
-
Id use larch, will withstand damp and weather much much much better and is pretty light. Cedar lap boards would also be dead light and durable but perhaps not a choice for structure. You'll find larch easily. But make sure it's European ( I believe Japanese is less durable?) With cabins it's inevitable they will leak at some point in their life or will have condensation/dampness so personally i would stick to something durable.

Me too, the one I have is taking quite a bit of fixing though.....looking forward to it being reliable enough to take out without a back up saw!
-
357 bought off my then boss in 2007. Still going strong!
-
Thanks will check that

Right so have vac and pressure tested this saw, fitted a new oem carb kit and done a thorough carb clean. Fitted all new gaskets and carb boot and fuel line ( one of the ones with with moulded in tapered bit....how is that supposed to go?). Mostly the saw is fine, revs and cuts well but is occasionally a rigjt bellend to start. Wants full choke then fires and cuts out won't rev. If anyone knows these saws well and can point me in the rigjt direction of be well pleased. Ta

Nice day dismantling then felling the remainder of a nice hollow sycamore. Was one of those ones where you not 100% if ok to fell as fairly hollow and in corner of field with a cesspit so had only on spot to fall in. But worked out fine. Landy winch gave it a help over
-
Would you say it's highly valuable?
-
Don't know the part numbers but try a Stanley knife or drill....have adjusted them successfully in the past.

I had a merc 811, had over 670,000km on the clock original gearbox and engine. Before that I had a Merc 508 with 800000km plus on the clock. Built well and hold their value well...

There's is one in kernow, near some mine works not too far from helston. Lovely dead bit of spiney oak

I'd try a message to shavey on here. He will be able to help point you towards value etc

Is it possible to get a natural water repellent finish?
billpierce replied to Joe_bradshaw's topic in Woodcraft Forum
It's toughy. I have used tung and been happy but definitely darkens it. Black bison wax hardly changes the colour and if you don't polish it loads won't go shiny but will not protect super well. My parents love their oak table. They have left it bare and just give it a good scrub every now and then. It's really light colour and smooth as ought as has been scrubbed for last 20 yrs....def an option I would consider -
Will try to get it yep
-
