If you put a location in your profile, it doesn't need to be your address just a city or even a county then someone may be able to help with something a bit more specific. Our local supplier Spire bearings is really helpful and will get most things in a couple of days. He did pull me up when I asked for metal caged bearings for one job saying that the fibre cage option they supply actually runs cooler and holds lubricant better than a metal caged alternative and the rollers do the work not the cage.

Does anything grow slower than Box ?

I would not consider reusing a piston that's damaged. They are cheap enough to replace.

Woodlouse carver at Weird and Wonderful Wood?

We call them binnies at our house because they were always there when you move the bin on the yard -
Use a calculator site to find your needs then go 20% bigger if you want to allow for the open staircase. The 8.5 should be well up to the job on paper but the 5 would be borderline. Stove position can be a consideration as well.

I used to shunt trailers into a loading bay with a knackered Ford D800. Anything over 36ft was a doddle but 28s were awkward. I also worked in a foundry where the charge was reversed in on a trailer and lifted with a crane over the vessel. The trailer was a turntable steer and it was reversed in with a rear steer fork truck and that took some getting your head round.

Tree work in close proximity to railway lines and platform
peatff replied to graeme3000's topic in General chat
I watched a couple of young lads taking some Leylandii down a few months back. They were next to a brook not overhanging a railway platform and one climbed and reduced them while the other fed into the chipper and it was a very messy job, not that they were doing a bad job but the trees had multitudes of trunk like branches growing upwards from the bottom and there was a lot of dead stuff in the middle. I would take off what I could up to the height of the fence on your side then take a good look at what there is to work with. -
Try Duxford they might have some but they aren't going to be cheap.

Just tip some petrol on it and set fire to it before you send it back and tell them it caught fire while you were using it

Baby wipes get rid of everything, kids must have skin like rhinos.

I have read this thread a few times and still can't see C1's motive for what he has done. He has robbed 2 other people of the money for the job for no gain to himself whatsoever after he failed to turn up to do the job in the first place and was told not to bother. Both these other contractors should be after their money from him. How did C3 get roped in ?

Does that mean you can buy it without a climber's ticket if it's a gardener's saw ?

A verbal contract is not worth the paper it's written on

Did she have a passcode or fingerprint recognition on ? It's no use to anyone if it's locked but you still see them for sale so block the IMEI by putting it in lost mode.

I got it right then, amazing what you can find on t'internet 😂

Not many sites allow fires unless they are raised off the ground.

T-Max ? Handy looking tool for remote work and not too bad price. Some of the dearer units look massive in comparison for 12v units and the prices are way higher. [ame] [/ame]

I wouldn't put Bahco in the cheaper category, they are as good as the top brand snap on I've used round at the bike shop and the 1/4" drive in my set goes up to 13mm and is strong and allows good access where the 1/2" or 3/8" is too large and the ratchets are quite fine as well. If you want good cheaper tools I have had a Kamasa socket set for over 40 years and only broken the ratchet through serious abuse

Facom own Britool so you can get them if you don't like the French aspect

I bought a Bahco S87+7 set, they have AF and metric 1/4 drive and 1/2 drive along with some swivel and combination spanners, screwdriver and Allen bits. The sockets are 6 point not bi-hex so they don't round nuts off as readily and the steel is excellent quality.

Not sure on the serial number, SawTroll is your man for that but there were three models of the 50, Rancher and Special made from about 1983 to 1990 so unless someone has new old stock it will probably be used. Just been reading up and the first number is the last digit of the year so it would probably be 1987 week 13.

Did he mean an umbilical cord ?
