Could try this with what's left a the bottom of th 8mm hole I've drilled already, but don't have any taps

Checked, there is no thread left at all. Plus now I've drilled it out

Put this 026 I bought on eBay back together after stripping it down completely, all except splitting the crankcase. I'm pretty sure it had been used with veg oil as it was caked on real hard and took some cleaning. Anyway took it to work and it runs great, just one thing The thread had stripped in this hole so I drilled it out and tried to stick a nut in with araldite but is didn't work. Is there a good adhesive/ filler I can use to stick the nut in? Thanks will

Yep favourites got to be doing call outs, you never know what it's going to be till you get there, just a small branch on the side of the road or a massive tree that takes all night

I meant to go back a have another go because I ha forgotten how to tie a blakes hitch and that took me ages

Took the missus and kids today didn't get many pictures, was there an arbtalk tent? Didn't find it. Met Eddie from aspen nice bloke. And was talking to a chap who I thought I recognise from arbtalk but not sure who he was. From Durham with a forst st8 chipper.

Hedge cutting job all day today and got to finish it in the morning with a bigger ladder, then pick up a bed from my missus grans in fareham and do something with the kids on Monday

Two summers ago I removed overhanging branches and pruned back some other over a power line, on a beech tree that had a bees nest in a hollow 20 feet up. The work didn't seem to bother them. If you leave them alone they will you. Wasps on the other hand- I've hedgecut and strummed there nests before they don't like it and also tried to cut a wind blown willow tree off wasps in the root plate and they stung me to ****.

Would a PTO chipper realistically fit on a landy?
Will Heal replied to GTS's topic in Large equipment
I did wonder but you would be over weight before you even started I tuink -
Think they are the same but one is fresh and one is old.

Very little or none at all? As said before, aim the end of the bar at a piece of cardboard to see if oil is coming out. If there is some then turn the oil adjuster screw up to max that should be right for a 30 inch bar of a saw that size. If none comes out there maybe a blockage. Take bar and chain off clean bar grooves and oil holes in bar and try again. If still no oil then maybe pump blocked. Let us know
-
You don't need to go on a chainsaw course to use a chainsaw. You do need common sense tho. My dad and granfer never did a course and they were quite safe. As for oiling the bar my old granfer used to use a fairy liquid bottle with oil in it and squirt it on the bar of the old homelite when it got hot! C'mon chaps the op didn't ask if we thought he was qualified, just about the saw oiling.

Is rapeseed oil different to veg oil? Veg oil goes gummy after it has got hot and also seems to eat into the paint and magnesium parts
-
I've never seen cheap engine oil in a local garage! Asda used to sell a gallon of oil for £5, don't know if they still do. Veg oil won't hurt for an hours sawing, make sure you don't leave it sitting with veg oil in for too long after else it'll gum up the pump
