  1. Good of you to mention it. Will get an order in.
  2. I love it when people come out after you've just got your anchor in and ask if you want a brew....
  3. Agreed; first fell not stunt. Other two some pretty close houses and trucks close by etc sure counts as a stunt? Generally agree with Mr Blair, true stunt fell is where you ha e quoted for dismantle then just whop it down. But if you do a huge back leaner cut with what sounds like a ms170 with 30" bar with a polyprop tug line and old boy with trad helmet on popping the odd wedge in with a house that's a stunt in my book. http://
  4. Yep cheap enough. You'd prob make 200 from the 020 and 136 easy. Is the 076 36inch bar a duro or sprocket tip?
  5. Yeah terrible video, can understand not getting through.....def a bit of confidence to start the cut
  6. The second 2 fells are pretty close I would say
  7. How far did you watch?
  8. Probs been on before but new to me. Some appallingly filmed but non the less impressive stunt felling http://
  9. Does the bulb inflate by itself easily of a bit slowly?
  10. They must of had big stickers with clear labelling on the boxes which oddley Happened to be I stock or something
  11. You seem in a good mood. Hope you never fall on hard times and need help from anyone else
  12. Aye you order, wait a week, ring then, get half the order, half of which is wrong, email no reply, ring no answer. Really pleased I saved a few quid on some chai n that don't fit. Saying that I've been through a few on the top handles and after their first sharpen you would know the difference
  13. Update; harness going well.much comfier having fiddled adjusting thigh straps. Will report back when it's knackered.
  14. Next was exhaust mod on a ms150. Couldn't the exhaust I had was different from ones described as last bit was spot welded on and not removable. So boshed a hole in side. Checked with tac and could lean out enough so whipped carb off, drill limiter pin refitted and saw ran like a bag pi55......after a good while of checking everything, varying carb screws etc etc took carb to bits and tha fully found a mass of silty black schizer in carb mesh filter. Back together and runs good now. Tac goes mad as you approach the limiter- occasionally blipping to 17000rpm! But got it tuned nice now. Went to fit new chain from northern arb. And low and behold it's the wrong size. Ffs has taken since 6th Sept to get it to me and now it's here appears to not be narrow kerf or something. Anyway looks much bigger than stihl diddy chain Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. 660 was revving it's tits off on a dismantle yesterday. Checked it today at was Making 15k! Examined fuel lines and carb boot. All seemed well. Did a vac and pressure test, all good. Tiny bit of something rubbery in carb which must have been leaning it right out on full revs. Saw was running nice other than that. Had the opportunity to notice nearly worn through earth lead and to give saw a good clean Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. 950 is relatively high for second hand but also expect he will get it. I have an 084 and a 880. Some parts are compatible but there are definitely parts which aren't like cylinders air filter shrouds etc. Common parts like piston clutch needle bearing etc are compatible. For reference I found an 880 for £650 with a 36 and 25 inch bar. Personally if you can I so I get an 880. But if you find a cheap 084 or 076 there are plenty parts out there for them and they will get the job done. On a budget I think Rob d on here (chainsawbars.co.uk) sells budget mills . How wide do you need to mill? 36" should do those things. If you go 084 I have a couple of cylinders available. Also was thinking of selling 076 if your interested?

  17. Managed to Google some Info on exhaust mods 150 etc. Thanks though. Sure there has been loads of chat on here about it Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Afraid so Steve yes. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. doesnt work for me. can anyone post a link to the ms 150 mod topic? thanks
  20. People rate rye bar oil. I'm only on my second 25l but it seems good and tacky. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Don't break though do they? Got a 355 think it's very similar to nouvelle. It's an easy full wheel barrow of logs a day in proper winter eh. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Rayburn? Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Funny there are no aftermarket kits available though eh? There seem to be thousands for other stihls Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Shut it. Had the fire on most nights the last few weeks. Been cold up here in pennines. Our uninsulated stone house doesn't help neither. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. I have one of those on order anyway so I will have a shot thanks Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
