ive been out with the dogs today on a shoot ran by a good friend of mine and on our little mooch through the pines that are plentiful i came across a grand old oak tree right in the middle of the forest!! now i doubt if anyone apart from me has seen this tree in years as its not part of the shoot that is shot over and i only stumbled across it as the dogs ran off after a rabbit and i had to search for them for an hr or so lol............anyway looking at the tree its one of them oaks that look like robin hood would pop out of the stump at anytime a real beauty!!! but the amount of dead wood in it is unreal and my question is would that tree benefit from removing it all??? i no trees "deadwood" themselves over the years, but im keen to do it for practice aswell as i cant damage anything underneath it and im sure no one has ever climbed the tree as its really hard to find, ive walked round that area for 7 years now and only just seen it today!!!! also can i touch it by law??? i have the landowners permission and that, just thought id ask as not sure whether to do it or leave it

cheers lads, looks like i best start counting the pennys up ill post some pics when its here

ive been offered a 98 model for £140 that im assured has not had much use as the guy is not a climber, never used it on the ground just used it on garden jobs of a ladder to prune small trees ive heard of folk they were better than 200s but hard to find in GWO now??? should i go and have a look (its over 40miles away) or save my money towards a 200 or 201???

:lol::lol:

i cant get over its around 40 years old and still runs tho!!!!!

alec your a legend :biggrin: on looking up the 041 theres no doubt in my mind your correct!!! ok so its not as big as i hoped but hey it was free so im not complaining and if i run a 25 in bar on it then that will be plenty big enough for me many thanks again mate, top forum this

hi all sorry its took so long but here is a video of my saw to see if anyone can help me identify it!!!! shes been stored while ive been working away and she wouldnt start at first but a new spark plug, bit of fuel in the carb and shes back to her former self hope the video shows enough and again any help appreciated

:thumbup: cheers all but keep them coming:001_smile:

looking up the 051 im thinking it might be that one!!

well there is defo no oiler button and there is no chain brake if that helps mate???

thanks for that alec, it all makes sense now unfortunatly thats the only photo i have at present, but ill try to get soom more ASAP

can someone spell out the difference please as i cant get any clear answers on the net first off i found this saw in a scrapyard, i think its an 075??? can anyone say for sure??? and ive been given a 36in rollamatic bar that i was told will fit, but on reading about it ive found that the saw is .404 and the bar is 3/8s, so will it be no good for the saw??? sorry if its a daft question but im only used to little saws and they all come with a bar attached

thanks to all that took the time to vote!!! and to anyone else that will:001_smile:

cheers bud
