  1. It does look like the filter has seen better days.
  2. Does the Magnum have a chocolate coating with nuts ? My 044 is still good and I have an 036 which is a bit lighter. They only get occasional use but never let me down. 044 has 20" bar and the 036 18"
  3. Up or down is going to be in the direction of rotation which is what I go with. OEM are reused if possible here.
  4. I had this with my 135 and it was the oil pump drive sticking to the crank spinning the clutch. I made a clutch tool from an old socket I cut with the angle grinder which did the job nicely and I cleaned the pump drive centre with some wet and dry and greased it. I had tried a new spring and slowing tick over and it does seem to take a while to stop but the brake stops it.
  5. Husqvarna 135 mkII is £222, my older mkI has been good.
  6. How many Stellas to do a stellar job, I'd rather he did them sober 😆
  7. Cut it in two and count the rings ? Acres says it was introduced in 1974 so it's getting up there in years.
  8. No negativity here, you got rid of your old stuff and bought something you liked. Be happy 😁
  9. No it means you sold two and bought another 🙃
  10. I use a blob of Tippex for that. My Dynamac saw has a 16" bar with two cutters the same way.

    Old saws

    I've had a few fixer saws from Gumtree and not had any problems you just have to regulate your expectations and stick to your price range. If you just want rid of the saws put them on Gumtree or eBay at a price for the job lot and take near offers. Sell the tidy one separate if you want a bit more for it. Take the silencers off and check for piston damage, pull them over and check for sparks but don't make any wild claims and state no comebacks.
  12. Better avoided anyway in my opinion🙃
  13. Tie wrap, my answer to everything that comes apart and shouldn't 😄
  14. I've had my 135 for over 10 years and it's done lots of firewood with very few problems and none of them major, still runs well
  15. That's when bird's eye maple was three ha'pence a foot 😄 stanley+unwin+three+ha'pence+a+foot - Recherche Vidéos WWW.BING.COM
