You disconnect the earth/ground lead, usually the negative - on modern kit with an alternator. If there are roller bearings on the thing you are welding connect your welding ground as close as you can to your weld so you don't arc through the bearings.

Are you sure it's not the gear selectors under the top cover ?

That is not Busy Lizzie though it's Himalayan Balsam. It grows and spreads along watercourses everywhere. Chop it off at ground level before it flowers and goes to seed, the seed heads are like little explosives and fire them for yards.

I screwed a piece of 2x1 to the base of mine and clamp it in the vice, handy tool.

So the AA meetings are not Ayrshire Arborists ?
-
Grandson has a 171 and I assume the OP wants to swap because the original chain goes blunt very quickly on rough wood. It's not a very good firewood chain.

Apples are ready so they will be appearing on our back yard any time now, I have the same opinion as stihlmad. It's ages since I was stung by a bee but I get wasp stings every year.

You could get a pallet courier to pick them up if the seller will cooperate.

Don't come the old acid bob Prussic acid, hydrogen cyanide, is poisonous and Prusiks are knot

Have you lent it out to someone who has fitted it back to front ? Get on eBay for an Oregon bar and chain and possibly a sprocket/drum as well and make sure the pin is in the bar for tensioning.

We were at Chapel St Leonard a couple of weeks ago and the wind farm off shore there has expanded since last time we were there. They ought to do boat trips out to them.

Mine's never done anything like that, never managed to slacken it's nut off on it's own either. Is that the original chain ? I've run a couple of cheap Ozaki chains from eBay on mine and not had problems with those either.

They should be cutting the shrubs back to their boundary if they are on their deeds as they are encroaching on the road. A lot of time the council will relinquish their right to something like this to save them the trouble of maintaining it. Check it is not a ransom strip with a covenant on it and that it doesn't have services which they will be accepting responsibility for if they adopt it.

Citric acid is a cheap rust remover and you can tip it down the drain after without polluting . Lifehacker has a few tips.

Just pull the bar cover off and there it is Sorry it's my medication kicking in

Plugs gum up, get dirty and wear out all the time they are a disposable service item and should be the first thing to look at not the last when a motor is acting up. BPMR7(A) are the most common plugs in use and cost a couple of quid and I usually have 3 or 4 new ones in my bag just in case.

Anyone heard from Mull ? Apparently they had a tremor or an earthquake 1.9 on the rectum scale last Friday
-
I'm not a horsey person but the cheeks look out of proportion to me, not that I could do anything like it though. It all looks like firewood when I've cut it
-
Some here from Yorkshire, I have them in my eBay watching. You don't get a case with them though.
-
I thought they were there to help with the angle not as the end of life indicator.

I prefer Hahn beer ads [ame] [/ame][ame] [/ame]

I went back to braces last year, wide ones with nice patterns and tape measure design all good for a laugh. Iceland does some nice Magnum lookalikes with Belgian chocolate just the right size. I don't like the big ones.

I'll reserve judgement till I see it cut grass but it looks pretty useless for my 20 foot lawn.

If you pay the willing workers or those with more qualifications more money it should motivate the lower paid to make more effort. If they don't make more effort they are happy to swan along and have no reason to bitch.

I love the smell of Linseed oil, it's nowt like chip oil After I sand I usually wipe down with white spirit before I apply anything, it opens the grain and if there are any rough bits it lifts them so you can find them and sand again before the finish goes on.
