    A blocked filter could give you those symptoms, it would restrict flow of fuel to the lift pump/injector pump. Its always a good procedure to check air filter regularly, but a blocked air filter with usually give black smoke. Any problems pm me, its easier

    I would start with fuel system, sounds like a 400 engine. Filters, lift pump etc.

    Grey smoke, mmm, injector? Pump timing? How many hours has it done? Do you use clean diesel from a clean can? How old is the engine?

    Which perkins engine is it? Used to do a lot of work on perkins. Fuel filters? Is it smoking?

    The quite relaxing smell given off by 'easy start' or my favourite i have seen is 'start you bas@*#' is ether as already mentioned, i was taught at tec that as a highly volatile hydrocarbon, it ignites early, occasionly too early which can bend connecting rods. I have actually killed an engine with it (it was scrap anyway) just out of interest i took the head off for a nosey, and sure enough it had bend a few rods. Hence why an engine gets addicted, so the first bend reduces compression ratio, so its harder to start, so more sniff, rod bends further, compression ratio drops again and so on and so on. If i get a stubborn machine, usually a tier 2 john deere engine with a bosch injector pump i have been known to sniff a bit of brake cleaner up the inlet, namely, ethanol, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, acetones etc..... But i wouldnt recommend it.

    That looked a fair size tree, roughlu how high was the first few cuts?

    Just out of interest do you regularly feel tired? Not just cant be assed, but properly tired? If so get your thyroxin levels checked as my misses had swollen neck and they ended up removing her thyroid. Dont want to scare, just another thing to think about.

    To be fair, i like trees, especially fruit trees. Pick fruit from tree, give to woman, apple crumble for tea. Everyone a winner. I will try and put it back up. Do i need to put anything around the roots or just pull it up, stake and tie it and heel the mud around the base?

    Evening all Was down me field earlier and see one of the old apple trees has fell out of the saturated ground. Just wondering if apple wood is good for anything other than throwing a match at. I want to have a go at carving, would this be any good or will it split etc.

    JCB everytime. 526 is possibly the best rigid rear engine machine, but the tm range was pretty good. Just watch the short primary transmission prop.

    Ok then. Wtf? What Why
  12. Agi-Smash
    I was looking at the spec of a 50.22. All depends how much you want to lift how far out.
  13. Agi-Smash
    That is a fair comment, just a reasonable crane would be 650kg ish plus outriggers, pumps, tank etc
  14. Agi-Smash
    Just had a look for you. A 5m/t crane, which is probably far more than you would require for that size of vehicle requires 16ltr/min @ 3698psi
  15. Agi-Smash
    Hello, we recently put a 24m/t crane on a machine and we used a 60cc/rev pump @250bar, however it depends on how big a crane you want to use. Crane dealer should be able to supply you with oil requirements.

    I would agree with tufnol, pretty good compressive strength but crap in tension, early wessex v6 engines used tufnol for the, if i remember rightly, the timing gear off the crank. Ran fairly quiet but had a tendancy to give break teeth off if you put a lumpy cam in.

    Mattmoss Its only so funny because weve all done it, Fair play mate you are funny.

    CONES DIGGERS Speed limits, bottle necks, average speed cameras, Oh my god, how many miles of motorway do they want to dig up in one go? Suggestion, finish one bit first before digging up another twenty miles of motorway. Grrrrrr!

    I have actually made some of these in the past. I know a man who brakes forklifts, and welded some pins for lower lift arms and a clevis for top link. What sort of money would you be interested in paying. Just wondering if it would be worth making a few more. Dave

    My boss! He is a tool for sure. If you ever met him you'd agree.

    Splinters, that sounds some good advice. Unfortunatly i didnt get to play today as the offer of a free harrison lathe if i collected it drew me away from the wood pile. But when i do get round to it i will post pictures, promise
  22. Agi-Smash
    Thanks guys, some good for thought for tomorrow. I will only be using my little old faithful stihl 021, think its a 12 or 14 inch. I have read several threads about dressing bars square for a straight cut and ensuring chain is sharpened even etc etc. so if i have dressed and sharpened properly, how do you perform a curve cut? Can you curve cut with a parallel bar or do you needle a more pointed bar?

    Devontwig, wow, i am impressed, was that a natural hole in the front, whats inside it. Hopefully having my first go at carving tomorrow

    Evening all. Pretty new to this arborist stuff. I have been using saws for about ten years so quite happy using a saw. Mate of mine has some logs he said i can play with so fancied having a go at a bit of carving/sculpting. Before i get all excited buying a new saw and gear. Could anybody suggest any things to try and carve first? Im assuming a mushroom. Also does anybody have any tips or advise for carving? Hoping to have a go saturday and will try and post pictures for you all to laugh at.

    Ah right, okay. Thank you for clearing that up. So long as you have your dinner before you start and wear a dust mask when sanding, which i would think is good practise when sanding any wood, should be alright. Apologises for my lack of knowledge on this subject, im new to this and if you dont ask you dont know, but what good qualities does yew have? What would you use it for?
