    Got a job today but worked out the milage and really is a bit far away. The job is in Frome so any contacts up that way would be great Beau 01822 852933

    I am also a small player and sure there would be better prices if I could guarantee buying hundreds even thousands of tonnes per year but what can you do

    Sound advice there Jim. No washers but there is room for the ram to move side to side but it's firmly stuck to one side. Hows the new job?

    No thank god it's a baby mowi

    I would take that if nice clean ash. Had pretty mixed twisty stuff for £55 which has been a pain to process.

    It's been pretty good summer so far with many a dry sunny day and a complete absence of mud This morning we have torrential rain of the sort that may cause flooding and it's forecast for much of southern England so watch out all. 13mm so far this morning

    Thanks for your help

    Going to give heating it a try. I only want to grease it for the time being so no need to remove the ram if I can get grease into the bearing. If this fails will give Fuelwood a call to double check on the pin design and then try and track down a hydraulic pin puller.

    To be honest you have lost me a bit there. I can check the diameters tomorrow with a vernier gauge. Don't see why this one should be different to the other end of the ram though. They certainly look the same but probably not safe to presume they are same as did not budge when hit.

    The pin has a slightly flared head in Pic 1 Hitting pin on pic 2

    Dont see any evidence of welding. The other end looked the same and just drove out. It is slightly flared on one end as in pic 1

    If you look closely at the middle pic you can see the hole where the split pin was. Could there be something else? I removed the other end of the ram without any snags. Just removed pin and few sharp taps and out it popped.

    Did give it a few whacks but it didn't budge. 20mm drift and a sledge hammer . Had removed the retaining pin and no pressure on the ram. Didn't want to keep hitting it like that in case I rounded over the end of the pin and then it would never come out.

    That might be worth a go. Access is awkward so do think a hot air gun might work?

    Sadly no problem with the nipple as that would be a nice easy fix

    Picked up a forwarding trailer and crane some time back and I give the crane a good greasing when used; well so I thought. Was merrily pumping some grease into a hidden away nipple and as I removed the gun noticed the grease nipple was loose and the grease had just come out the back of it and not into the bearing. On close inspection with a torch I don't think any grease had got into the bearing since I got hold of it. I tried to drive out the pin to get the ram off to sort this but the pin will not budge. I can get the other end off the ram which looks the same so have taken a picture of that so can see what I am on about. Any bright ideas on how to get this working again or how to remove the pin without beating seven bells out of it? First two pics are the stuck pin and last one is of the other end of the ram which has the same bearing and greasing arrangement as the bunged up and stuck end. Thanks

    Not surprised your kiln dried does not go back up to 25% as this is too high for equilibrium with the atmosphere. We dry most of ours down to 20% air dried. Can't get much lower than that in a soggy winter mind. This chart will tell you what it could go back up to for a given temperature and RH Wood Equilibrium Moisture Content Calculator from Wood Workers Source.com

    Can't see it being legit but you might get away with it. Lots of places I go to have tractors. Could you trailer the processor there behind the truck and use their tractor?

    Was for us but we are in a national park which have it's own planning laws.

    Another one here who looked at getting a DSLR but ended up with the Sony RX 100. Great with low light and no need for a backpack to take it with you. As someone wisely said to me you take your best pictures with the camera you have on you.

    He says it's leaky and don't doubt it. We had one here that was repaired countless times and always leaked. Got fed up and took it down and replaced with twin wall. Looks good and no more leaks

    Big fan of Mojo. Sent various shocks and forks to them over the years and they come back working and looking like new

    Does look pretty tasty. 4 weeks until you get a 2016 bike! The bike industry is bonkers

    Nice one Hodge This thread inspired me to dust off my MTB and take it for a spin on Saturday. Not been on it for some months and feeling it today. Is your steed a 29er?

    Bingo
