  1. Has the fly wheel key sheared putting it out of time ? You say there is a spark but it might not spark under compression if the plug is duff or the ignition unit has failed .
  2. I recently saw my 05 D22 Navara which I sold to a mate years ago and he sold on etc etc . It is still going strong it seems . I painted the chassis with every other summer with Waxoil which must have helped . Also put half a bottle of Red Line deisel additive in every tank full . It was a great truck and I would buy it back for logs and shit jobs if I could .
  3. Its ok if you can judge pulling it gently just over center then giving it a good tug . If you don't do this you can bend the metal pins that engage with the starter pawls .
  4. Mmmm . I have heard that people can break their leg when they fall over .
  5. Thats ok but wouldn't the SDS Milwaukee Fuel ( that I have ) M18 CHD be better . The Hawg has a key chuck where as the SDS Max fitting would not slip . ?

    New saw help

    Or use an Alkylate fuel , especially if only using the saw for a few times a year . . No need to drain down then .
  7. Why not try one of the Eucalyptus variants . Great fire wood ( split strait away as it goes off ;like concrete if left ) I think Big J planted some @BigJ

    New saw help

    Despite what you say , and at the moment it is seen as " sound reasoning " you will want a better saw than whatever it is you get ! So , get the best pro saw you can afford from your dealer and the rest will follow .......Its in the rules 🙂
  9. Are the hung up tree wind blown or has someone been trying to fell with no idea how to go about it ? Also what Doobs said above . First thinnings ?
  10. Split fuel hose that opens up when the av allows it to ?
  11. We have a separate LR specialist in our village as it happens .
  12. Standard Chinese Zomax " re badger "
  13. I have been that soldier . 😐
  14. I would have the Cub Cadet Zero turn for 2.5 acres all day long and twice on Sunday . Why stand up/on when you can sit and they are fast as fcuk !
  15. + one for your local garage . It is recognized now that a non main dealer can do your service and stamp the book . My local garage has all the " trickery " , code readers , DPF re generators and whatever else and they are half the price of the Nissan main dealers and do just as good a job .
  16. Second here for the Cub zero turn mower with the Kwaker engine . Used one of those a hell of a lot in the past . Can select it to cut when going backwards as well . Fast and as AJ says the steering wheel makes it simple .
  17. Is it a needle roller out of the cage perhaps ?
  18. Semi pro clamshell design I believe . Never used one myself .
  19. Agreed . There is a bit of conifer showing in the top r/h corner .
  20. Same here . Frost again this morning .
