Phenolic resin ply is the material a lot of trailers are floored with, it's not cheap stuff though. Any good sheeting supplier should be able to supply it but there are always sellers on eBay.

I've never accidentally put my leg on the trestle while cutting firewood. A bloke I was working with a long time ago put a saw down on the end of his boot while it was still running down, that was the only accident I actually saw with my own eyes.

It's a pity the drivers aren't as smart as the road

Probably the piston rocking without the rings on it ?

45cc home user saw it's done well to last any length of time milling. I'd look at something a lot bigger and probably a second hand Stihl if that's your choice of machine.

I think you are feeding a troll here lads, the name doesn't really encourage answers.

If you shop around you will find the 545 at about £470, F R Jones and a few others have it. 4.9 kg it sounds a good option.

You need a welder to stick a small nut to it so you can grab it with some grips and wiggle it out. Weld a washer on it first through the hole then the nut on top. Grab it while it's still hot and it will come out easier.

The bearings only need a minimal amount of decent quality oil that's why the mix ratio in the fuel is so low nowadays. I'd just cut the frazzled bits off the cover and carry on using it till I got a replacement.
-
What does this mean? The oil is in the fuel not under pressure.

Fishing line, M14 nut and a catapult.

Are you using veggie chain oil ?
-
It was just an idea, not necessarily a good idea though :D. I have had some success cleaning stuff using one of the oven cleaning kits from Tesco, Lakeland and Wilko and other places where you get a bag to put the shelves in, pour some cleaner in with them and leave them for a couple of hours. Plastic is at your own risk I've only used it on metal.

Veg oil attracts mice and rats as well Just leave them out in the garden and let it get eaten off.

I have a little Nilfisk 110 that works well enough for car and bike or patio cleaning, 120 is a bit more power. It all depends on how industrial you want to get. We used to use a proper steam jenny on fork trucks when I worked for a living and that would strip paint off anything if you got too close.

I've got a couple of old saws that were run on pump fuel and are now on Aspen 2. One (Stihl 036) has had a new fuel pipe and a carb kit as it was dodgy before I started using it and the other (Stihl 044) has had nothing since it had a new piston fitted as it was seized when I got it. I run my old Dynamac on Aspen 2 with no alterations but a tweak of the L screw. It says in the manual that it needs 25:1 mix but it keeps going.

E clips last years just don't muller them getting them out with too big a screwdriver.
-
I bought a couple of semi chisel from Northern arb and they have been fine. They cut and sharpen alright no problem.
-
Never checked the oil either
-
My 135 was from WOP as well, a friend of mine bought one a couple of weeks ago and that needed fettling as well, good price on there.
-
That's a plan, leave your ear protectors off as well and all your problems will be solved, you'll definitely not hear any rattles anyway

It's a scratching the chin emoji wondering why the elation at helping someone with a problem. Phone emoji don't show up sometimes. Why would I be giving the finger?
-
Same thing I posted in the second post thanks. ?
-
Sorry but earlier I meant where did you buy the saw not the driver because their PDI is a bit lacking. First thing I did was buy a spline drive to adjust my 135 as it was a pig to restart when hot and it was running weak at the top end as well I think some places send them out the shop anyhow as long as they run for two minutes without breaking. Get it used now and check it when it's run a few tanks look at the plug to see how the mixture is doing.
