thank gardenkit, exactly what i was looking for

Hi, recently got a john deere roller mower off a friend, it is running but needs some parts to get it all sorted! firstly it needs a new collection bag as my mate misplaced it moving house also the blade disengage doesnt work, looks like there is a spring missing at the front of the mower? and finally one of the drive cables has snapped at the handle i did phone my nearest JD dealer but they were less than helpful when they realised they wouldnt be the ones fitting the parts! can anyone help me with a manual or parts diagram for this mower? cheers Dave
-
Yes, we have one that we used for finishing fairways during construction where i work. Used it behind a john deere 3520. It is a good bit of kit for large flat areas once you get used to it. We found it easier to use with a hydraulic top link.

mine has a 58mm bore, 106cc?
-
just if you get the chance it would be great. hope everything is ok and in one piece, i grew up on tiree, a small island in the Hebrides and know how bad it can get sometimes
-
Will do, cheers. Think my nearest supplier is on the way to the monster in laws so will nip out tomorrow and get some
-
yeah, i was watching the progress on the 'what on your bench' thread last year? and was thinking i should be getting on with mine but i'm getting there now really looking forward to putting it through its paces do you run yours on aspen eddy? think i will especially seeing as fuel lines, carb kits getting done just now
-
Thanks stihlightning, that would be very helpful to have a copy. This is the first saw i have really fixed (with alot of help from here and the works mechanic) and really got the bug for it now! Think it helps that it is a fairly simply saw though. I had hoped to use it on the alaskan mill but i will be getting some decent av gloves first, i think there was a thread on here a couple of months ago on them so will have a search
-
that would be amazing if you could send, would have to give you more than that though i will pm you my address the helpfullness of people on arbtalk amazes me all the time
-
I do intend on using it, but very sparingly. when we got it going today i couldnt keep the smile off my face! the vibes on it are killer though. i have ordered most of the bit i need and theres two top covers ending tomorrow i think. just cant seem to see anything with a clip for the front of the cover Cheers eddy, very kind of you to offer, think it is justthe muffler with the clip i need, how much u wanting for it?
-
Yeah thats what i did earlier to make me think that there should be a clip on the front but couldnt make out if there was or not? Had another look at the cylinder and couldnt see where it might go Dont know what i'll do with it now? Even looking at new cylinders for it, there isnt a clip on it? Was hoping a helpful arbtalker mght have one so i could see a close up front view
-
Well dug it out the shed a couple of days ago and took it into work to let the mechanic have a play with it and see if he could get it going. 3 and a half hours later it runs like a good un Now i do have to order a few bits for it, needs a carb kit because one of the gauze bits was soaked in a sort of red paint? it need a new front handle and obiously a top cover. I have found all the bits i need on the german ebay but was wondering if anyone could tell me how the top cover attaches to the saw, there is a clip at the back of the saw but nothing at the front? Does it just slide into the fins on the outside of the cylinder or do i need to find and order another clip of some sort? Any pictures of the front of oneof these would be great. Thanks for the help so far
-
Dont know if i has changed that much since i did my cs30/31 two years ago i was told the training was exactly the same but lantra give you a certificate of training and nptc is a certificate of competance and the additional cost was for the assesment? Might of changed since then though

Ditch Clearing ~ how do you do yours?

Not sure on the size of your ditches but this is what my dad got for opening up old drainage tracks on his machair [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YuS2vU0uRg]WP 20120825 182140Z - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w81WJK7sCVg]WP 20120825 182102Z 2 - YouTube[/ame] -

Hi all, as per the title, i'm looking for some lengths of ash for turning although any hardwood would probably do. I've been asked by the mechanic at my work if i could make some mower rollers for him like these. SUFFOLK COLT 12" WOODEN FRONT ROLLERS. FULL SET HARDWOOD | eBay Got plenty of soft wood at work but no hard wood down at the moment and no ash on site. If anyone can help i would be very grateful Thanks dave
-
I suffer quiet badly with it, not great being a greenkeeper. I use the supermarket stuff and always wear wrap sun/safety glasses. The glasses help alot

Will definitely be making a detour next time we are going home

Really like them all. Where abouts are they going in, would like to see them and find a new walk for the dogs near oban:thumbup1:

<p>Hi rob, registered for the website a while ago but got distracted before i made an order. I'm looking at a small carving setup, i've got a stihl 011 and was thinking the zebra 12" bar, stihl 1/4 sproket and some carving chain. Would these switch over to another saw as if i enjoy it enough will probably get a ms181. Also do i need to send my cs30/31 to be able to buy the stihl products. Sorry for all the questions. Merry christmas, david</p>
-
Thats confirmed what i was thinking. Looks like it could be a pig to restore, the top covers alone seem to be like hens teeth to find. All in all quite happy though. Got this a husky 142 (fresh fuel and new started cord and was running) and a random sachs for £51. Find of the year me thinks:laugh1:

Curiosity got the better of me last night and i bought this and two other saws off the devil that is ebay last night. It caught my eye as it looked like a 090 in the photos so stuck in a cheeky bid and won. Now not sure what i've got? Serial plate says 1106 which with limited google searching i believe could be a contra. Not really going to be sure til i strip it down but thought i'd see if any of you guys could tell me more from the photos Thanks dave

Bicarbonate of soda 75g in 1 litre of water through an knapsack slayer, very effective at killing moss. No discoloration on blocks and can be used on lawn too

Thanks, I was thinking of taking the fore arm right down to the bottom but was going to drill the base and stick a length of rebar in but I like the idea of shaping a spike
