Free if you fish them out of the canal

If you ever get one and fancy a 2.3 engine to put in it I have a rebuilt one with less than 300 miles on it in my garage which needs the head torquing down and rocker shaft put back in

New bar and old chains... they don't go together!
openspaceman replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
I take it you are referring to the your original picture here? I was considering why the blueing might be worse nearer the bottom of the bar groove, on the assumption that blue shows a higher temperature event than straw coloured. This too would explain the chipped nose in the picture I reposted. -

openspaceman replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
This one strikes me as being caused by a worn drive link having peened a tie strap and making the joint too stiff to straighten as it comes off the sprocket. The original picture looked like blunt chain and too much pressure overheating the bar. I would have liked to see the paint stripped off the bar to see how much of the blueing was caused by abuse and how much was from manufacture because some seemed to be at the groove bottom which might suggest a drive link bottoming out. -

I'd forget to put it back again when I reverted it to sawing

Is the ram for the box splitter single acting and returned by the spring or is that something to do with the trigger for the return?

I can't see that being a problem it was just the reference to windscreen washer fluid I was picking up on. legionella thrives in warm static water systems. This is why some renewable energy heating systems have to be heated up to more than 60C each day, to kill off the bacteria, with another support fuel.

Now or later?

On screenwash use, as you mention it; a bit of warning washer bottle is often in the ideal place for legionella bacteria to thrive, the bugs love the warm to cold to warm cycle of the engine compartment, professional drivers have a higher incidence of the disease from repeated exposure to the aerosol from other vehicles washers, so it's important to use a washer fluid in strength enough to kill the bugs.

Three good bits of advice there though I've not done any fencing for 40 years

I can't say it would make much difference to me but chances are I'll be burned anyway. Back in the day I was regaled with stories of bits of fat being flicked at other meds in the morgue/lab.

That's slightly different as it uses a Vee belt drive rather than a cutterless chain. I would have thought the type with a Vee belt more sensible but with a guard. I wonder what happens to the saw's oil pump, presumably it's blocked off so the pump still has lubrication. My old atom drill used a cutterless drive and oiled as normal but then it didn't run for long periods enough to wear noticeably.

First thought would be is are the pipe connections to the purge bulb the right way around?
-
Yes you can because you keep it sharp. I always do too for hard or soft but in the days of skidding timber out we used a 80cc saw with a 15" bar and semi chisel chain at the stacking area

That's it

I learned that from the only decent thing on TV James Bolam did.

In UK I think we would say 950kgf which is the force exerted by a weight of 950kg and about 9300 Newtons Try lifting 1 m3 of green oak with it

so did the southern ones

Check your units, 3mm will survive if you hang 950kg from it not 97 tonne I'd love to see one of those eyes tested to destruction

We'll have to wait for the report because there are a number of confusing things being said or shown, the standing engine is the back one and it looks like the front one is in the gully and burned out with one carriage and then two carriages of four inverted on top. The train seems to be on the down line but there is a report that it changed lines to avoid an earlier flooded section When I was liaison on a goods train during a possession with engine front and back both engines were idling all the time and we swapped driving positions each time we changed direction in order never to have to reverse.

So should @Jase hutch get his bonus from the advertising budget or just the double time for working his days off??

There was a team reducing a conifer hedge in one for the houses behind mine right up to midday, well over 34 in the shade and they had no shade. Hats off to them. By 16:00 it was raining quite heavily with thunder and 4 miles away a mini tornado ripped across the canal downing trees either side of my mate in his mooring right across the navigation.

New tree estimate/help?
