  1. Better off welding or at a pinch brazing . Solder would probably soften from the exhaust heat . My 560 exhaust can was cut and shut with weld .
  2. International play boy of the year !
  3. Wacked my right hand once and only once . It was then I remembered the principle of moments .
  4. To replace the 661 like for like would be the Husqvarna 395 . But as you are going up in capacity I would go for the 3120 based purely on my limited experience in that we have had both and the big Stihl failed big time ( un economic repair ) and the 3120 is still going today . Niether got much use though ...not milling anyway .
  5. Pump fuel takes the coating of the rubber components that is on there to keep the rubber supple . However the pump fuel keeps the rubber soft until it eventually fails . Aspen does not remove this coating so if you run an engine from the get go on Aspen ...no probs but if you switch from pump to Aspen you could get problems with the rubber failing . I changed all the rubber components on my saws when I switched to Aspen just to be safe .
  6. Note the Citron Light 15 in the background .......
  7. One or two of these still race at the Goodwood revival meeting near me in September . They run along side AC Shelby 7 litre Cobras , E types and the like . Wicked sound
  8. Its gone from £5 a day ( when I started ) to £35 a day and £40 for the pickers up on the same shoot . Still the same keeper .
  9. Like the MK1 Cortina lights at the back .
  10. So how are you going to do that then ? ....Are there any documented cases of people falling onto screw cone splitterrs ? Had one for as long as I can remember , never " slipped and fallen " on it . Found one . Bloke did not slip and fall on the cone but another bloke got hit in the head with the log whilst watching and died from his injuries . Both were inexperienced having borrowed the splitter from someone else .
  11. I checked with John Wyndham and he is not missing one ...
  12. Not much good as fire wood either .........
  13. Yes . As I stated before the colder air from out side is denser therefore containing more O2 giving better combustion in the stove .
  14. Stubby

    Ladder

    Had a go of the Japanese type . very strong but light . It is a casting but hollow .
  15. Got the Nominally 5kw rated holleywell but sure it punts out more
  16. Top pic looks like a pair of Y fronts with their long service medal ....
  17. I never had a problem getting used to mine . Its the simplest stove ever . Only 2 controls , the air slide and the door . In the morning just scrape away a bit of the ash to revile the hot embers . Chuck on a bit of kindling , open air slide fully to the right set the door on the slightly open catch . in 2 mins its up and roaring . put some logs on , shut the door and set the air slide to were you want and you are back in business . Simples !
  18. Also " colder " air from out side is denser therefore you get more o2 so better combustion .
  19. Burley Hollywell here . Nominal 5kw but punts out more . They d make a smaller one and 2 larger .
