  1. Oh . I wish you all you wish for yourself Alex . My brother went to Aus about 25 yeas ago . He is still there . After being in charge of a big chunk of the university of Western Australia in Perth , he has now retired and bought a restaurant . He is now working harder than ever !
  2. I'm still breathing Alex , thank you for asking bud . And yourself ?
  3. Slight de rail but when watching South Park why do the Canadians mouths go all the way round ?
  4. OK , fair play . Once you get on the steep banks in the pissing rain or the heat with all the flying insects , hidden root bowls , stumps , bramble , etc etc you will have found the answer to your question ( The realities of hand cutting ) Don't forget your little army spade and bog roll . I wish you luck matey , sincerely I do .
  5. The impulse line is the small " c " shaped line that goes from the carb to the crank case . This makes use of the alternate pressure / vacuum created by the piston going up and down .
  6. Remember . Its actually " Farmer Miggins "
  7. This is true . The very latest high top cover on the new 562 saws has a series of slots in the cover to help with the cooling .
  8. Its In your head I think . I have that set up . You can go a bit longer between cleanings though .
  9. That is a " utility " cut . Its crying out for some wires to go through the gap .
  10. I have that adjustment on mine ( its a bit older , 325 I think but essentially the same ) and at first I always went to tighten it on the wrong direction but once my head had it sorted its not been a problem .
  11. Just don't do any " Effing and Jeffing " Eggs mate and you'll be fine .
  12. I think the biggest mistake I made , around the time I bought my stove , was to put 2 big saws in the back of the chipper ( 385 and 394 ) , stop for a couple of doughnuts and then find them to be not there when we got home . Expensive doughnuts . No problem with the stove though .
  13. Thats a top tip if it works Khriss . Never heard that one before . ?
  14. You can by army surplus pre worn boots . I bought a pair of German army boots once that were perfectly broken in ( still have them as it goes ) . really comfy .
  15. Could that not be brazed / welded ? or is it plastic ?
  16. I have noticed that Mrs Miggins is featuring a lot on this forum lately . Was she ever a raffle sponsor ?
  17. The crotch out of Marks mankini ? ?
  18. There was a bloke in the USA that drove around in his beat up old car picking up cardboard boxes that peeps threw out . He is now a multi million air and has books published ( you know the sort of thing ...how to make your fist million . )
  19. I heard you the fist time bud but yea . Superb tool ?
  20. I use a dedicated long reach Husqvarna . Find it takes bigger bites than others . Got an odd angle adjustment thing on the shaft but once you get used to that its fine .
