  1. Whilst I always wear chainsaw boots or chainsaw wellies depending on conditions, I don't climb but hours of ringing logs and I've had the same pair for about 15 years. Everything else I wear tends to be Screwfix, basic black coal boots or trainers all with steel toe caps under £40.
  2. I never said no grease, there's a reason why they have a similar thread on the tube. You screw it down and push some in, you don't need to remove the side cover and pack it full like some stuffing gland on a boat.
  3. It's a field not a "garden" and probably includes a soak away for the rainwater off the house
  4. Yeap, never fill it full, just enough to cover the gears is more than enough. You'll not only waste it by squeezing it out but possibly even cause more damage by it working against itself. The hedge cutter equivalent of hydrolock.
  5. Well obviously for the bang you'll need the FAC in a suitable caliber, still illegal to use a bow for hunting in the UK. The other certificate is the DSC, but I think that's more for selling it on afterwards.
  6. Maybe they use the bolt as a shear pin, usually a PTO shaft isn't usually a round tube so the roll pin is more to stop it sliding out of a very tight fitment. Suppose, adding a grub screws and a bit of loctite to add a bit of preload ?.
  7. It's generally considered sarcasm. But you might get a bit more attention on the Facebook side of things.
  8. Grease, you're a monster!.
  9. My god is that still going!.
  10. And trouser snakes can become wood for beavers. It would explain why the snake gets very tired and poorly.
  11. Ignition looks like a Lucas key switch, best get a Google image and try belling it out with a multimeter. Start simple as they say 🙂
  12. Pine fresh air fresheners saves the Scandinavians once again!
  13. Why wouldn't the wood be suitable, didn't think snakes were beavers.
  14. Did you try it whilst sat on the seat, usually they have an interlock. No bum no Brum.
  15. It wouldn't be the first time I've put the 2 stroke mix in the oil side of a combi can either before realising my mistake.
  16. Hopefully 2 stoke or it's going back, again.
  17. Bit like most road drainage you see, the designers must all be Spanish judging by how little rain it takes to overwhelm it. Think it was Southport, the sand blows over the road, due to rules they have to landfill the sand as it's classed as waste.
  18. Bit hard to fit a bar without the adjustment mechanism.
  19. Have you tried the usual woodchipper guys Warrington way?
  20. Yeap, split and thrown in a covered cage outside. Six months and you couldn't tell the difference as it's all at 18%. Yeah, longer you leave anything with sap the more crystalline it gets but dry is dry.
  21. The spring keeps the clutch disconnected until it reaches a certain level when centrifugal force to overcome the spring tension to stretch and the clutch engages. Worn spring means it's stretched too much, allowing it to engage at low speed.
  22. MEWP, looks like a utter PITA
  23. Clutch springs are loose, be easier just to replace the whole assembly if it's not been done before.
  24. Righty tight, lefty loose and don't wreck the bush or you'll have to get another. Strange things happen when you go round the twist, we were singing the theme tune weren't we ?
  25. If you add Ed Hobbs, you get a few better results. The below was off a honey brothers manual on the internet. It listed Sierra Moreno Mercantile Co. But the website redirect was to below. https://blairsae.com/
