  1. It's probably more an only fans, or one of those feeder type channels. Plus probably makes Nigella look almost Victorian
  2. It's been about ten years, but I remember I had to pre tension one on an old plastic honda and slide it together. If you didn't the spring wouldn't do it's thing.
  3. Isn't cm the absolute dog poo adjuster mechanism?. Just checked the picture, appears to be single stud. If you want it then only if mummy says yes, but the rest of us men might say don't piss your money up a wall.
  4. Most around here have gone to Fuso, few sill running transit but only until the scrap value makes it worth replacing.
  5. 50 miles would be my limit, unless it's main dealer or cheap enough to afford being bit. You want to be able to dump it on the forecourt if it turns out to be a bag of spanners, plenty of arb ones in the for sale section here.
  6. We must burn the heretic, come on lads bring out your old PPE and build a brash pile!. An example must be made to apease the gods!.
  7. I'm sure vallorbe actually make them for Oregon, maybe to a different spec. The odd old Oregon ones I have, I think says Swiss made in the exact same font/lettering and basic cardboard box design.
  8. Could be worse, there is the dark side of the machinery world. Shudders at the thought of going Husqvarna!. Or they just go back to the 60s and bare metal power tools ?.
  9. Me thinks you need to look after your gear a bit better, I've been using and abusing Stihl gear for the best part of 30 years and whilst you get chipped patches it's hardly the whole thing delaminating.
  10. Could be form of powder coating, similar process to paint when your doing it on a Stihl scale of manufacturing. There was an episode on how it made/how do they do it years ago, making strimmers in the USA. It's not like they have to swap colours like in car production.
  11. Aluminium needed to be acid etched to make it rough enough for the paint to bond. Magnesium and aluminium are oxidizing surface metals, but maybe the Stihl paint has it built into the formula?.
  12. Have you checked to see if something is blocking the spring mechanism?. Absolutely love my TP, simple and about as complicated as a house brick.
  13. If they're not going to deport them, they might as well cut out the smugglers and make 10k each. Maybe turn it into a 10k in, 5k out ?
  14. Into the expensive conservatory or just the leased BMW ?. If your going to make a statement we might as well make it an example 🤔
  15. Had a DNO guy the other week saying they now aim for 4m from power lines.
  16. Trousers, chaps looks like a weekend warrior. Plus I'm not 100% sure but I don't think insurance likes that sort of stuff as it's easily or incorrectly worn.
  17. I fitted some 36db X5P3E on an old Stihl lid, amazing sound reduction. Sometimes a little too much, when you can feel your heart beating when things are silent.
  18. Glue goes between the joints not on the dusty ground. Blooming yoof of today!.
  19. Depending on the size as I can't tell the model of Knott hitch you have but £60 delivered. Genuine Knott Indespension 48mm Serrated Trailer Jockey Wheel With 205/50 Tyre WWW.EBAY.CO.UK [{PRODUCT_LISTING_TITLE}].

    What has been changed to your knowledge. Providing the rpm doesn't drop, the hydraulic system is independent. So work your way through the simple things 🙂

    Yellow should be 1 wire thermostat. Personally I'd go with fuel filters first, then more likely a weak hydraulic pump or motor as that things probably done more hours than triggers broom. Plus it's an old Kubota, they are pretty much bullet proof and will run almost till death.
  22. I'm aware of the regs and do work within them even tho I don't get a penny, as I've actively bashed mine back 1ft a year to return them to actually being a sub 6ft hedge Vs a whispy litter catcher. Just highlighting the enforcement is more financially severe if your part of any environmental schemes, criminal enforcement would be actually harming a nest etc regardless.
  23. Generally speaking farming wise, it's more enforced when you're in farm subsidies or other management schemes.
  24. Damn it, if it was two stud I'd have it in a heartbeat.
  25. Simple answer, big spinny cutty thing.
