  1. I think the only way to get a natural shape back now is to fell it and plant another .

    Saw ID ?

    Home owner small J/Red ?
  3. You need the new barrel shaped spring combined with the new grey belly pan which has the reinforced spring mount . You fit the stronger spring on its own you are more likely to break the mount . I have had both fitted to mine and its no longer a problem .
  4. Never had a 261 clutch needle roller fail either I expect .
  5. I certainly would not . Why risk it . Big buggers thy are .
  6. All my saws have a MM . Yes . Makes it run a little cooler maybe spins up a tad quicker . A bit louder . Combine it with a porting job and you will see gains .
  7. I think the problem lies with his boss .Who clearly does not know what a repollard will look like . The customer was completely satisfied with the job it seems .
  8. 9th post he says he cut back to previous wounds .
  9. My guess is you cut the tree to the previous wounds/knuckles and the customer did not realize that it would look like it does .
  10. Were there any drill holes ?

    Saw advice

    395 is a stonking saw . Responds well to porting ( ask spud ) . I still have mine and it runs a 36" .404 no problem .
  12. Oh . Yep . Understood > Its not me honestly . Its a fit up guv .
  13. Strides have come along way since I started and no way would I go back to wearing ba pair of sleeping bags round my legs but I would suggest you get what is reqired for your tickets then make your own mind up as to what you will use in the future .
  14. Oh yea its not legal to view content that you would normally pay for from Sky or others but it works and who polices it ? . You get all the free to air stuff and all the stuff you should pay for . Any one got one ?
  15. Any one here running a Z Gemma H2 box with " the gift " ? Sky has just put their prices up again and I am going quit with them . My mate has one and pays a geezer £20 a year and gets everything streamed . The lot . All " free " . All the sport , all the movies , all the pay for view etc etc etc . Initial cost of Z gemma box then the £20 a year for the " gift " . It seems like a no brainer to me . Have I missed anything ?
  16. And that is why it takes so long to get up in the morning
  17. If you don't use WOT when cutting are you not getting less lube to the moving parts ?
  18. Unless you use a Sugihara light weight pro bar then its all the chain and not the bar rail
  19. This is what I think ( wrongly or rightly ) It is as Dave says ware . You get ware on the rivet joints which becomes clearance on the fit . The chain when being pulled on the underside of the bar " stretches " and when being pushed on the top of the bar " compresses " . Its because of this clearance in the joints that the drive links still sit in the sprocket . Add in some ware to the under side of the tie straps and the rails of the bar and you get a " farmers chain "
