Not for LR products engines prone to snap cranks within warranty apparently.

I should say I only did one lorry but I was too slow so the lorry driver normally did it, 535-12 IIRC, and he kept the boom extended several feet all the time.

2m3 bucket on telehandler took 54 trips to load a walking floor bulker, Loading shovel took 17 with tip-on-lip grain bucket

I still think it was not the latter

To avoid an early heart attack? 🙂

predictive text? I know what you mean of course, when I was a teen there was an album people were raving over and I thought it was about some sort of french sounding place place "bayerous", much later when I got to see it did I realise it was bare wires.

After a quick calculation you are right, 5.2 mm is nearest to 13/64 but I only use 2 sizes, plus the little ones for the pole saw which I snap, so as long as 20% of the diameter is above the cutter it's about right whatever file within reason.

I'm the opposite, only remember 7/32 for 3/8 and .404 and 3/16 for .325, as @Stubby I change to 3/16 when a 3/8 chainis half worn but don't sweat if only a 7/32 is to hand.

Doh, a bit like @Doug Tait's fake dog sign then, I cannot remember where I got given it from.

It's something I wish I had done but a young family and being slef employed meant I didn't get the experience, I think it would have benefitted my road riding. As it is I just potter about when the weather is good. Yes Eggs but healing takes longer the older you get.

I wonder if the ebay item will sell. I may offer it to Brooklands, mind the aeroplane side declined my 12V blower from somewhere off a spitfire,

Are old oil cans collectable? I just need to check before breaking the seal on this and pouring it into an old mower It is a pint can

That was traditionally aspen and more recently hybrid poplar, chosen because it doesn't splinter.

That'll mean a few weeks rest then. Hope it heals well.

My first forestry job was piecework weeding new plantations, using a fagging hook with round handle and a slightly enlarged bulb at the end. In the wet I was forever letting it slip so one day I fixed a leather loop to it with a bottle knot and slipped that on my wrist. The first problem was swapping hands to give my right arm a short rest. The next was that the first time it slipped out of my glove it rotated round my wrist and hit me on the shoulder so I gave up on that idea.

I was surprised by the delay before the cork oak started showing signs of dieback. I assume the Lucombe was felled because stability would be compromised by the removal of the cork oak.

Although I was aware of these trees in the village from an early age it wasn't until the 70s when a chap, who started out in arb about the same time as I, pointed them out as special street trees that I took notice and admired them. The Cork oak and hybrid, Lucombe I think, must have been planted when the land was a nursery, possibly as cuttings stock around the turn of the 20th century. One summer's day I cycled past and took a photo of some works: 2014 2018 2021 2022 2023 today

I'm thinking along the same lines, that is that the combustion chamber temperature is not getting high enough and the secondary combustion flames are being quenched by the cold metal sides. The drawback would be that the stove wasn't designed for this and the heat exchange surfaces of the sides and back may not be sufficient to give out the power, so the stove would effectively be derated and the flue temperature would go up. I had a Jotul 602 for 30 years and it took a long time to get up to heat and often I would notice a blue haze from the chimney, this is sooty particles forming a sol that reflects the blue part of the spectrum because of their size, they are formed when the secondary flame does not completely burn the carbon in the flame because the flame is quenched. Modern stoves with refractory bricks reach and maintain a higher temperature quicker and the flames remain hot enough to burn out. In my street , where several people burn wood, it is quite unusual to see blue, or any, smoke nowadays.

That's the problem with ordering seals for a non standard ram. My local company are pretty good matching the old seals if you take them in with the gland "nut" and piston and will get seals back in a couple of days at a fraction of the price of the machine importer.

...and did you do a map search or just an address search?

How hot does it get?

for many years, having only heard the term from a polish veneer buyer I thought the term was cow's tail, queue de vache, until someone here corrected me to cow's a*se.

It is a useful white wood, softer than beech but does not taint food so was used for dairy goods, treen and bread boards. As a commercial timber it was used to clad inside railway passenger carriages. It can have figure (fiddle back), when it becomes a valuable veneer. Trouble is it needs milling soon after felling as it is very perishable and the ends suffer from staining, (cul de vache), sawdust must be blown off and boards initially stacked vertically
