  1. Yes but there's no nostalgia with a new saw, you just don't get it.
  2. Add something like Slick 50 or STP oil treatment to it if you can find a cheap alternative but that is kind of defeating the object of using veg oil.
  3. It's enough to make you think about going legit, well nearly Best thing ever doing away with tax discs. Looked on ASKMID and it's not insured either.
  4. I'll set him up with one of those thanks.
  5. And you tell that to the kids today and they wouldn't believe you
  6. Dogwood.
  7. Who else is going to do it for you if you are in the van alone ?

    New small saw

    That's a good price on a nice looking little saw and if I didn't have a 135 I would be in there. 12" would do for firewood duty.
  9. I'd have to cut 60mm off it to make it fit in the hearth then the fan would hit
  10. Yes but it's only about £16,740 with the vat, not worth half an hour of thinking really is it ?
  11. When I read the title of this thread I think he must have a really itchy head to use a MS362 as a head scratcher
  12. Chipper chain is what came after scratcher chain which had lots of teeth both sides of the links and cut more like a conventional saw with a set to create the kerf. I've been reading my history lessons, I bet it was a bitch to sharpen.
  13. Isn't all chain chipper chain now? It just means the chain has a depth gauge (the raker) which is standard to all the chain I've bought cheap or otherwise.
  14. Alder has little cone like fruiting bodies. Sent from my BNTV600 using Arbtalk mobile app

    560xpg vs 6100

    Send him a PM to tell him someone thinks Dolmar is better than Husqvarna or wait till he posts or you are as bad as him
  16. Oleo Mac, Emac, Efco and Dynamac all come under the same banner I think. Some parts in the Granit catalogue look similar, it's just something I found online never used them but it may be useful.
  17. That's the forecast from last year, they really got it nailed didn't they ?
  18. On a knot free stick preferably
  19. I've got the 135 which is the same engine size runing 3/8" chain on a 14" bar and it doesn't struggle on anything I've cut including oak, you must be leaning hard on it. Friend of mine has a 435 and he says his has adjustable oil pump.
  20. E models have easy tension but it's no advantage. 435 and 440 are both 40.9cc the 440 has flip caps now and seems a bit more industrial than the 435. 435 is like a deluxe 135 using .325 chain instead of 3/8" and with adjustable oil pump which 135 doesn't have.
  21. Made my sides Hake reading it again. It Haddock kind of nostalgic touch.
  22. AC start capacitors should not be polarity sensitive, were the wires off because someone had swapped the motor ? I got a pressure washer out of the skip at the bike shop and fitted a new capacitor and ran it for another 3 years till the pump packed up.
  23. Bowler is only about 12 miles from here and I've only ever seen one, a Wildcat on a trailer.
  24. Will it need colouring in when it weathers, it would be a shame for it to disappear. I like the tortoises on your website.
  25. If you put "ox truck" in the search it will find it for you. Or just click the link
