...and mounted it in the cordless drill. I always thought a back and fore twisting was better than constant rotary motion for the paste??

Yes only ever done it during re assessments. J621 double trigger had a bit of plastic riveted to top of saw as handguard.

Not just you Stubby, I guess most of us oldies don't start with or rev up and test the chain brake.

>I found this which says if you do less than 4 hours driving length of duty doesn't matter. >Then the next bit says you don't need to have a tacho in! >But you can't exceed a 50km radius A bit difficult to comment in the absence of the original url, and the requirement for keeping a record may not necessarily mean the same as having a tachograph. There were loads of different rules for uk domestic driving but I never got into them as our 7.5 tonne+ vehicles had tacos and we enjoyed exemptions for the smaller ones, to the extent I have never had to deal with infringements, despite many occasions when rules were broken. For tachograph exemptions the 100km radius came in 2015 https://movingon.blog.gov.uk/2014/10/06/changes-to-tachograph-rules-for-local-journeys/ I'm surprised at the intent to travel more than 100km from base without a tachograph can result in a fine and should be questioned. >As you say bloody complex! It is but not insurmountable I find many people get confused between the various different requirements for: 1) operator's licence 2) Driver's licence requirements 3) Driver's hours (tachograph) requirements and recording 4) construction and use regulations 5) revenue and customs(use of red diesel) each has to be dealt with separately

I always remove them to stop them from ingrowing, I wouldn't worry about the hole but if you want just collapse it with your heel.

Not once you go outside 100km radius from base

Yes Yes any vehicle or combination that exceeds 3.5 tonne gross weight Yes including chippers All except those exempt vehicles in: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/drivers-hours-goods-vehicles/1-eu-and-aetr-rules-on-drivers-hours#exemptions-and-derogations

Thanks Barrie, Yes I think it is over rich so may need a carb kit, symptoms are that it is failing to reach more than 2500 rpm with the throttle held open , much like if the choke were on (if it had one), I've had the same symptoms when a main jet fell out on another engine but I will take Barrie’s suggestion to change the plug first.

Reviving an old thread: I've been using the B&S classic 35 to cut grass and pick up hedge trimmings at home. It has developed a fault in that the choke is staying on, any ideas what may have happened, I thought it was auto choke? Post script, I've had a look now and there is no choke, the primer just squirts a bit of petrol in for cold start. Even with the the throttle opened against the governor it misfires so I guess something more fundamental wrong.

My old TP960 pulled a grain trailer but it had to be one that didn't superimpose too much nose weight. I think it took about 5 tonne behind the MF1200. I wouldn't contemplate it on the road. I have it sitting in the corner of a field somewhere.

I don't know how many lines use lengths with expansion joints and fish plates (the sort that make a rhythmic "Heimanenusch" noise according to my late mother) but most lines I was on had pre-stressed rails to accommodate expansion, due to temperature, and were laid in 200 metre lengths, or more with welding.

Well I'll risk Will's ire by recounting one of the smaller mistakes I made , I'd sold a fair bit of yew for veneering when there was still a slicer at Lydney in Gloucestershire but latterly we were having to export it via Carl Danzer and it was a faff loading timber into curtainsiders for the return trip to Germany. I was running a woodmizer at the time so I decided to add a bit of value to a small piece of Yew, about 15Hft and sliced it through and through at 1 1.4", the log was worth around 200 quid. I never sold a single piece of it and it lay in sticker in the yard till it was redeveloped for an academy.

Yes I was wondering how many of the sawmillers would be onto Will asking for it

Not me

Yes all crossings and access points have their mileages marked so you can often pace off of them. I never did check the distance between sleepers or whether it varied.

Yes and it caused a lot of rare habitats to be disturbed as investment companies looked for places to apply the income tax relief that paid for afforestation. Looking at it I'd suspect it was a machine developed by the FC workshops in the late 60s and 70s I bet Doug Clark would know something about it as his firm built a lot of ploughs during this period.

No extra markers that I know of, apart from pacing it out. Try the Omnicon tracklocator app, It gives the Engineers Line Reference and yardage.

Sean is this something to do with "Incredible Edible"? I helped out shifting soil for one near me recently, made me feel guilty not having a vege plot in my ruin of a garden.

Moi? I've no reason for people not to know my name but I'm not changing my username again.

Yes I know but it doesn't ignite particularly well as a board, which is why matches are wax coated. In fact most woods require a few sticks adjacent to mutually radiate heat to keep the fire going (this is one reason andirons were used to control a fire of cordwood lengths). I guess it could remain fairly saturated in an open wagon. Calorific value at about 18.6MJ/kg is the same as many hardwoods, less than many softwoods which have higher lignin and resins but it is low density so burns away fast.

There will be a number of cultivars, there are a number of stock grounds around where I live which grew trees from which they took cuttings and you can still see some of the original trees retained in subsequent developments, so they often sold them with the variety named after the nurseries, like waterii, jackmannii but not after the one where I worked, Slococks

Some poplars were planted just after the war to provide punnets for a local market garden, their coppiced regrowth can still be seen outside the formula 1 headquarters that now occupies the site. I was told the reason poplar was used for rail wagon bottoms was that it didn't splinter (or burn very well ) We sold it for coffin boards when elm was too expensive but it wasn't allowed for mining timber

It all looks bird cherry to me, the pink petiole, leaf and smooth bark

Is that a Forres? They were still making them when I started work.

I don't know if it can be caused by an infection but if a number have the signs I would suspect a growth regulator of some sort had been used nearby.
