  1. The bar and chain is probably a .404 pitch with the same bar mount as a stihl 880. It has a chain brake so it's not that old
  2. That is a stihl 08s, it's the 2nd oldest saw still in production
  3. The gist of it was network rail are putting in some big clearances beside the rail tracks to stop the trees affecting the lines and trains and people are getting upset and protesting against it. At this time of year they are using the excuse 'you can't cut any trees down there's nesting birds' channel 4 news very one sided I think
  4. Hi cut4fun you answered my same question on chainsaw repair site a couple days ago. Thanks again tho Is that chainsaw repair site yours? There is some interesting stuff on there.
  5. Like the pull start handle
  6. I think tie into something safe in the first place
  7. Only an hour away from me what days is it on?
  8. Save on costly chipper hire by having a burn up in her garden
  9. Yea I would get the missus to do it but she's not that good looking as yours mark
  10. I made some in a 45 gallon drum once worked quite well
  11. I agree if you are sure it's theirs chuck it back over then that'll stop them
  12. Yep!
  13. Yep I thought vinegar and water maybe, tried fairy up liquid but it dries all smeary. Yep probly worth buying proper stuff after all
  14. Say here at the services looking at over priced screen wash wondering 'can I make my own from household chemicals?'
  15. Thanks for all your help so far, I'm going to try to mend it myself, I would like to send it to spud and have it ported at the same time but funds are tight at the mo. Right I have ordered two new exhaust bolts and I'm going to get a meteor 066 piston, my mate knows someone who will machine it for a drink. Question- do I get the saw pressure and vac tested before or after the repair? One more thing, it is missing the clutch cover and these aren't available anymore. Is there a husky part that will fit? Again thanks for the help so far Will
  16. That's a great excuse, think I'm gonna use that one tommorow- thanks!
  17. I reckon you'd get a nice bowl out of that
  18. Yep if it is that bad then ring the police they will shut the road if needed. We have done this before
  19. http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/fcpg017.pdf/$FILE/fcpg017.pdf A quick search on Google brought up this. Specifically for rhody but could probably be adapted for trees. Sorry I did try and post a link but not sure how. If it doesn't work try 'stem injection rhododendron' in google. Hope this helps
  20. Would think it would handle 18inches ok. Try an ital lite bar from eBay, I have one on my 200t and it seems to be lasting ok, dirt cheap too
  21. Just pay him a day rate, give him enough time to eat his lunch at least, and he will have to fit in with your way of working he will get used to it. Some days are easier than others right?
  22. I save buying one by just zipping my coat right up
  23. Looks like cherry to me lovely fire wood
  24. Hi mike, thanks for that. So that means mine is a 83cc 54mm piston then. What about this piston from America? Also it was missing an exhaust bolt, could this make it run lean and score the piston?
  25. Hi all, My missus bought this saw from a sale page on Facebook today and proudly presented it to me when I got home from work. 'Look what I got you today!' She said. I had a quick look online to try and find some info about them but I ended up more confused! Seems there were two engine sizes and how do I tell which one I have? Piston looks scored aswell
