  1. The next home brew attempt will be a can of fosters in a laundry bag on the end of a rope. Lightweight, throw it up a tree, rope up and drink before home time and can goes in the customers recycling bin.
  2. Don't think eBay care about legitimate money or not, they care what they can move through their multiple location companies to pay zero tax. Plain and simple it's about money, the IKEA model of each service is provided separately so it means less tax than an all in one arrangement of old
  3. Bearings within a housing like that need the whole assembly taking out as it's designed to leave very little space for things to wobble when running. Usually easier to put them in a hydraulic press supported from behind and use the hydraulic ram to push the shaft out like a hub puller. But to be honest, take it somewhere. Plus that spacer is now fit for the bin, if as I suspect it's a locking bushing, it's now junk and needs replacing as it's integral to how it keeps things tight.
  4. eBay lost it's way many years ago, same when it abandoned PayPal. Then they started those free sites like vinted to attract the yoof, double your operating costs and wondered why your business makes little money, unless they just rely on music magpie and those sorts of volume sellers.
  5. All bearings have play, jase can advise on that. Personally I'd be looking elsewhere for something catching the blade.
  6. Is it really worth the risk ?
  7. Even if it's just a spacer instead of a taper lock, he'll need a big wrench to free it anticlockwise as it'll be tightened and full of sawdust. And note, remove the spark plug leads!. Are the bearings shot, noisy as that looked pretty ok.
  8. It's called a key, pair of wire cutters and it should come out. Plus that bearing is probably the locking collar type with a grub screw, unless it's just a spacer.

    That tiny fish always goes through a amazing transformation where it feeds the 5000.

    Do you mean 4117 160 2900 or the alternative that's not listed on the part list ?. Stihl FS 106 Brushcutter (FS 106) Parts Diagram, G-Clutch housing WWW.DIYSPAREPARTS.COM View Stihl FS 106 Brushcutter (FS 106) Parts Diagram , G-Clutch housing to easily locate and buy the spares that fit this...
  12. Or ring the dealers in Warrington, I'm sure they'll know of someone or have a broken trade in somewhere.
  13. More likely hedging his bets just incase Lucifer is actually real or those things he actually did come back to legally haunt him.
  14. It mostly smoulders.
  15. 300mm / 12 Inch Expanding Steel Pipe Stopper WWW.ALLPIPE.CO.UK 300mm/12 expanding steel pipe stopper, with an expansion range from... That's the kind of thing I was trying to describe poorly. But it would give you the extra safety of a metal plate using water pressure 🙂
  16. If you do find one, think we deserve a YouTube video of the poor sod fighting it as it tries to float away 🙂.
  17. Would an inflated bladder be better ?. As something that large might be liable to split when you're giving it some with a lump hammer. Can't remember where I saw it but, it's like an expandable bellows with a big arse bolt. Maybe attach it to a plate, so you've got plate/mastic/bellow and internal bolted blank ?.
  18. Probably a neighbourly dispute and a blocked sewer
  19. But John goes, nah use my mate bill and Ben because they threw him a fee. Sorry, service charge, backhander, brown envelope, protection racket. Or just anyone in waste management/ cured purveyors of meat.
  20. Isn't that almost concrete pipe size?.
  21. God forbid, something off the shelf with zero modification!.
  22. A picture of the actual feed roller and how it's bolted on would be good. https://melit.ee/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/hf_260-2em_eng.pdf Page 27, there are circlips on the right roller bearing. The pump just appears to sit inside the roller without any key, so presumably it's a star type spline, few blocks of wood on the inside and levers.
  23. Only if you manage to circle the football.
  24. Plus looks at the photo and the diameter of the trunk around where there is a scar. There lovely tree photo looks about 5 years difference.
  25. Wouldn't a failed clutch just engage constantly, like when you've weak springs ?. As there's no bearing to explode.
