    A head cam. Need to get one. If I need any arb gear I just buy it. I would like the Lego technic bull dozer, saw it once in a shop and wanted it ever since. I have a nice collection of technic gear, got a forwarder and a huge mewp on the shelf along with the 360. Just need the dozer to fill a hole. Must be the techie in me that wants to build.

    My bench is currently restricted and no photography is allowed anywhere near it. So it's no pictures or answers from me for a little while.

    Well this can be rest assured that he will not make a penny from this being number one. All the money will go to RNLI only a small portion will go elsewhere, production etc. Here is a it of info on the Facebook page for it. https://en-gb.facebook.com/tragedy.for.no1

    Doobin is right swinney, we have pulled a big chipper behind the honda but on flat or easy ground, I wouldn't want to use it to pull a big chipper over rough ground. The pull may destroy the clutch and gearbox, but the biggest problem you will have is purely traction and getting grip. Sam. You need to figure out what winch you would want on a bike. The one I fitted was only 900kg, it is purely to pull the quad out of trouble not to pull another vehicle larger than the bike. Or big lumps of timber. An electric wich is only designed for one pull per hour. Or it will kill the battery or charging system. Although they can be very usefull things the one I fitted has yet to actually be used in anger.

    We done it in the workshop. Some thick metal plates and good bolts. Had to cut away the fron alloy plate to run the wire through. I would guess it took about two hours. Had to remove the front plastics aswell. Most of the Time was spent un bolting. Once plastics removed it was easy to see where the plates had to go and be welded and where the winch would sit in place. Edit. We made our own mounting plates rather than buy them as the metal was laying about. I've seen the mounting plates that you buy and they are easy to reproduce. Another edit. You will also notice it goes form a kick start one the 350 to a pull start on the 400. This will rip your arm off if you are not carefull. I have no idea why they changed it.
  16. Rich2484
    That will be fine. Just needs a good drying out. Once it's been pulled out of course. Hopefully not too much damage done. It's not good that's for sure.
  17. Rich2484
    Yep, good quad. D a tree surgeons has one. I've worked on it a few times for him. Nothing major, fitted a front winch to it, serviced it, and sorted a starter issue that was worn bushes. No major issues with it at all. Pulls a lot aswell. Had an 8 by 5 trailer well overloaded with timber for extraction and pulled not problem. Also used it to pull the greenmech 1.3t chipper around sites before with no issue either. One of the brake light switches is playing around and not working but it's no drama. The engine seems sound. Can't really go wrong with a Honda quad. I rate them over others any day. Oh and if you look closely you will see the starter motor has been moved from the trx350 position. It's now on the side rather than under the air box. A lot easier to work on.

    That's what I was trying to get at. Exactly that. But the nut thread just isn't there. Either it was cut off or broken and the end filed down, hole drilled and a thread tapped. I will have to get a picture. It just caught me out when I took the pull starter assembly off expecting to see a nice 13mm nut and was greeted by a bolt head and washer. Anyway the saw will soon be gone and I can forget about it. But a picture is needed before that.
  19. Rich2484
    Sorry I don't believe I've made it clear. Just re read my posts. It was a small hex bolt. Allen key type exept hex. Took me ages to find one to undo it. It went through the centre of what would be the threaded stud part. Expet there was no outside thread only a hole with thread for the bolt and a washer. Will try and get a pic tomorrow as I still have the saw under the bench.
  20. Rich2484
    I did think it had been put on by someone else. But then a 13mm nut isn't exactly hard to get to replace a lost one. I've also looked through the parts lists and can't find it. stihl MS200T IPL pdf free ebook download from bricomeca.free.fr A bit strange to just change it like that but as its been said stihl will be stihl.

    Hey I know that glazed over look..... Still not fair tho.
  24. Rich2484
    Silky you need banning from this thread. Your giving away the story and annoying me as I can't have mine until Xmas day and I won't be able to play it until Boxing Day as I will be doing all the Xmas dinner and stuff. So I'm going to jump up and down and stamp my feet saying its totally unfair.
  25. Rich2484
    I've been "playing" with a 200t today. Stihl could have made this saw sooooo much more powerfull than it is. Starting to think about looking into other saws and seeing what differences there are between the model years. See what upgrades they have done to eliminate the kinks.
