Is Bill on arbtrader ?

How did it "burn out", has it seized or has something actually overheated and melted part of the saw ? A friend of mine has a 181 which has stood some abuse cutting wood like you are describing for a few years now and it's still going well. If I was using a saw for regular property maintenance not just a bit of firewooding I'd go with a farmer or semi pro saw at least and the 420 looks good for that.

I don't put oil in the tank or in car engines either, can't see the sense in pandering to their every whim. Just because someone says it makes sense and provides a lubrication point to do it why should I conform to their standards. All the money I save on grease and oil should pay for any future repairs anyway I do grease the bar sprocket through the hole provided and the clutch bearing actually and it doesn't attract crud or make grinding paste and it takes no time at all.

What's all these boot threads doing in the chainsaw section Jon. Have you got your wires crossed somewhere ?

It's Enya innit ?

It will be spring steel not stainless and anything you do to modify an existing one will probably cause it to lose temper unless you anneal it first then re-temper it after otherwise it will break very easily where it has been stressed.

There used to be a good sized Ginkgo at a school we used to garden when I was on the council years ago. I was interested to find it is also known as Maidenhair tree and is related to fossils of ferns 270 million years old and is the last of it's genus with no known living relatives.

Get some caravan movers fitted to it and use a remote control to move it round. Great minds think alike Matt (fools seldom differ though ) -
I had two ginger sisters and I was more blonde but whenever I grew facial hair it was that colour. Now my hair is more silver, it's still all there though.

If it's new the teeth should be identical, where did you buy it ?

Having the coastguard on standby with a helicopter might be a bit much A few years ago some friends of mine got permission to fish behind a pub on the Derwent and set to clearing the bank. Not being too fussy they were getting rid of bits by letting them go downstream and it wasn't long before they got some irate canoeists giving them earache. Have you got to take into consideration the possibility of pollution as well, I know it sounds silly to us but someone will bring it up along the line.

I used to arrange it in alphabetical order, Ash, Beech, Birch, Cedar etc. Then I got to F and thought "firewood" and now it all gets stacked under "F" P.S. Only kidding for those who have had the sense of humour bypass operation
-
What else are you supposed to do with it ? You mean strawberry conserve don't you ?
-
That's what's left No more custard creams for you then.
-
What is actually happening to the saw, is it bogging in the cut or not revving out ? It could need setting up properly if the carb has been messed about.
-
But it's not in the daily mail, it's in the Daily Mash and no I don't sing to my logs I burn them alive and listen to their screams
-
It's been sunny today, did some gardening, went a walk and found a wheelbarrow dumped by the footpath better than the one I use. Bit of welding it will be good as new Dropped cold about 15.30 though so back in the house.

Get some Focus on and see how much faster the decorating goes

That is the idea of Daily Mash, it's taking the p!$$ out of serious news. I've had their books for a couple of years and given them as Christmas presents and they are very funny. Please don't take it seriously
-
It's the Daily Mash guys, it's not the truth Read a few of their other stories to get an idea of what they are all about and if you want a laugh get their annual book for Christmas

Ask them for a replacement while yours is being repaired, at least they should grant you this courtesy.
-
I've seen the vans, they are the yellow ones with AA on the side aren't they ? On the picture above you left the pegs too long, the ladder will snag on them
-
I'm just reading them again on my Kindle, finished "The Truth" tonight and starting "Thief of Time" next. It's a bit like the Humber Bridge and you can go back and start again any time and find something you missed.
-
I bet they don't really send them out just take your money. I'm still waiting for my Russian bride to turn up and I sent the air fare months ago. Just hope the wife doesn't find out
