  1. If I want a row indoors I just tell the wife she's put weight on

    Clutch spring

    Buy a new clutch on eBay for £6.95.
  3. I'm not a climber or anything like that just a back yard firewood cutter but I like reading all the sections of the forum. I would like to know what angle the branch is attached to the main trunk and have you got a saw big enough to cut it off in one ?
  4. I bet there was el toupé after that incident, did he give you a good wigging for it.
  5. 08s was still being made in Brazil I read. If the serial number starts with a 3 it was probably made there.
  6. They did this before which is why there is now no decent council housing for rent to people who can't afford to buy and all the terrace houses on the opposite side of the street where I live now are owned by the local shop owner and rented out for as much as the DSS will pay plus a bit on top.

    Help Required

    Was the 236 oil pump still working ? You can get a new Chinese saw for £60 on eBay or gumtree and someone must break them for spares or you can get a pump delivered from Hong Kong for £4.27 including post via eBay.
  8. I think the angle grinder would have been out here
  9. I had a Poplar trunk chopping block on the yard for a couple of years and it turned to mush eventually. I split what was left of it and threw it on the wood pile and it dried into something like coarse grained Balsa wood with no weight in it at all.
  10. I was digging some out at home a few years ago and used a sharpened spade but I was in B&Q later and spotted a mattock for about £15 and thought it looked handy. It was worth the money just to use it, really made the job easier and brought a smile to my face whacking it through the roots.
  11. Didn't someone have a bad experience importing a grinder or chipper to France ? Are prices higher over on the Continent to make it worth doing ? Probably a second hand machine of which dealers don't know the history is not an inviting prospect as they get comebacks if things go wrong. Unless you are letting it go for a low price it is not always an attractive proposition for a dealer as they need to cover all eventualities.
  12. They fell off the back of a lorry (that's why three were broken) It's an English saying MM it means they came from a suspicious source.
  13. I've got a wardrobe that shrinks clothes, they fitted when I put them in there and now they are a bit tight on the waist

    My life feels empty now as I don't have a manual oiler pushy button There's one on ebay £450 with no bids. What kind of spare parts are you looking for, do you want to repair your saw or are you building one on the cheap ?
  15. That's because nobody will lend him a mincer
  16. Have you got an adjustable pump ? It sounds like you need to turn it down a bit.
  17. You're not supposed to touch them without a permit. Go and hand yourself in right away We found some at my daighter's when they filled in the pond and we had to wait ages for them to put themselves in a jar to be moved up the road.
  18. Hire a big skip for the job and let the customer pay for it. You can get a 10 cubic yard for £200.
  19. As long as the dog doesn't do the same you're alright I suppose
  20. I bet that works even better for defrosting
  21. What are cylinder head bearings please ?
  22. 32°c in the greenhouse on the back garden. it's cooling down now the sun is dropping below the horizon about 19°c.
  23. So much emotion, I was overcome. I so wanted the last one to have a little helicopter or something and it turned out to be a yamulke but a very nice one though. I have enjoyed the series and will not let the nay sayers spoil my enjoyment.
  24. I'm not on facebook but I still like you I'm same age as Stubby so don't get worried Adam
  25. Who's going to start the collection
