Sometimes it's surprising how a job you've been dreading for weeks turns out not quite so bad.. Hope all goes well. Also hope you've numbered the hoses to swivelplate to make putting back together a bit easier!

Jas p has pile of bolster sets and headboards in their yard

Excellent clip.. and we think we work hard! Thanks for posting
-
Without wishing to appear negative if it's a good saw then why was it cannibalised for spares?? Sorry can't be of more help other than suggesting you make sure it's worth it before you spend time and money
-
Looks a tidy enough machine, hope it gives you good service. I was watching it on ebay myself and if didn't have couple of old forwarders already I would have been tempted.

Arsonists should be allowed to set fire to them

A very sad sight to see indeed, particularly given circumstances. Maybe a wee lesson there for all of us re insurance/where we leave machines etc Hope you manage to work out a solution that's not cost prohibitive, Jasp had some cabs for sale a while back or maybe look to Scandinavia as it's not as dear to ship stuff over as people assume. Good luck getting back on road soon -
Yes of course, great tools for the right job. I wasn't clear in meaning that I can't understand this growing tendency to mow down commercial softwood, course nothing should really surprise me these days! Talking of which, get ready for another dose of insanity, some of you mulcher chaps might get good bit of work out of it though!!

I'm sure on occasional site they are without doubt the best option but how often do you see a privately owned woodland being churned into the ground? That's what makes me think they're the preserve of the public sector who must spend their budgets and where left hand doesn't know what right is doing. For example one site in central Scotland with good access to mills/chip producers is having thousands of tons spruce mulched because someone wants to turn it into a peatbog... Its FC land
-
I know some woodland is infected but I struggle to understand this fad for mulching woodland when there's a shortage of timber. I've never seen a private woodland being mulched, only ever FC or quango owned woodland

For clugging firewood day in day out I'd go for 365 ahead of 550/560, if more of a multi purpose saw I'd go for 560
-
Always been Oregon chains Wolter, as I said they just needed tightened almost every fill and guide rails were starting to show wear pretty quickly. Was running it on two 560xpg and both saws showed same symptoms
-
Picture of the Blondin complete with nice tidy load. Excellent yard machine and to out it back in to woods full time would need brakes on bogie fixed, new centre bearing and bit of attention to valve block. It's a good able machine though and the tilting king post is good for reach and power.
-
I've taken out about 500t with the rottne last year, play in central bearing too and no brakes on rear bogie so not for steep sites!
-
I'm also about to do central bearing on Lokomo 919 as getting wee but of play, not got a manual so any tips before I set to?
-
I've got an old Rottne 750 I toy with selling from time to time.. But it's a great yard machine with a big crane
-
It was at £7,100 then got pulled from auction
-
From memory it was the stuff used for cooking... Whatever version that is. May still be an empty drum around somewhere that I can check and get back to you. I remember it was very thin and runny, chain needed tightened every fill and was sore on bars too
-
Yes both prices plus VAT Jon

Anyone got a huge log splitter for hire/sale, west suffolk

Was rapeseed oil Wolter, about £1 a litre for 20 litre drum from booker. Got a 200l drum of chain oil for £1.30 a litre and difference is night and day.
-
We used veg oil for a bit, found every fill meant giving the chain tightener half a turn. Ordered a 200l drum of chain oil from local dealer - literally comparing treacle and milk, the chain oil "gloops" whereas the veg oil just cascaded out of can

By end of war do you mean flying to Poland post May 45 Arthur? If so that would be interesting indeed. If pre May 45 and based Italy it would be more likely he was going to the former Yugoslavia where SOE were very active. Either way brave man to land in small illicit airfields in hostile country
-
I would imagine the price to be ex works (collect from factory) as the seller can't know final delivery point when quoting a price. So haulage to boat, on boat, from boat and finally import taxes to be added. You can organise each stage yourself or get larger company to give you a door to door quote and also take care of paperwork. Latter option more expensive obviously but if you don't know about importing is best route IMO, too many pitfalls otherwise. And both seller and shipper will expect cash up front from a new customer.

It would be a shame if this thread deteriorated to a pissing contest about western & eastern campaigns. The Eastern front dwarfed the western campaign in every aspect but was that really relevant to the poor souls in their tommy cookers/bomber command/infantry slogging through the mud of Italy. Respect to all fighting men of all nationalities who in the vast vast majority of cases would far rather have been at home with their families.
