  1. Thanks, will check that out ?
  2. It's not for me as such, so it will be painted. Something from the Cuprinol garden shades range of paints. The preserver that I already have is solvent based, so not sure if that can be painted over.
  3. Got one of those mass produced "log cabins" on the way. 28mm thick planed logs, t&g floor and roof. It all comes untreated. It will be painted at some point, colour not decided yet. I need to get it protected as soon as it's up, any suggestions as to what to use that can be over painted soon after?
  4. Good luck with it Mike (met you briefly when you came down to see Jonathan) Make the most of any quiet time you have now, because if you take off like J has, your free time is over.?
  5. See that one third from the left, I had that one named after the mrs for an xmas present! True story.?
  6. Echo 390 esx would fit the bill. Thinking about getting one myself, just looking around for the best price.
  7. You haven't seen the amount I can eat!?
  8. https://www.milneroffroad.com/mitsubishi-uk-europe/shogun-sport/k94-2-5td-81998-22009/k94-suspension/k94-suspension-anti-roll-kit-rear Cheap as chips!
  9. Not sure how different they are, but I think it was a 192, my mistake.
  10. The 190 has a very restrictive baffle on the 'zorst. Guy I used to work with had one and it seemed such a pointless saw. We took the 'zorst off and had a look. We drilled a 9mm hole right opposite the exhaust port and the saw was transformed. It realy was a night and day difference.
  11. Not looking at new, seen a three year old one for similar money to a 181. No logging, just something to use for very small trees, brashing and coppicing type work.
  12. Anyone use the back handled 201 as a lightweight general purpose saw? Are they any good?
  13. Is there an inner and outer face of the sprocket, as in spaced out further if fitted on one way or the other?
  14. I don't find the makita/dolmar nylon filters to be much good, they let a lot of fine dust through. Their flock ones offer better filtration.
  15. I think it was released here in 2017, not sure about other parts of the world. Wouldn't be hard to make a 560 look like a 562. I would think a husky dealer should be able to confirm from the serial number.
  16. I think if you go against your wife you will have yourself "a domestic splitter"?
  17. https://www.sparetoolparts.co.uk/checkout/cart/ Same part number, is it the same thing?
  18. Call it a bodge, quick fix or whatever, but I had a leak from the gasket on a saw right under the exhaust. I cleaned the area with de-greaser and rubbed over with wet and dry and then used the black heatproof silicone glue that you fix fire rope into wood burner doors with, and ran a short bead over the leak. That was well over a year ago and is still holding fine.

  20. Check out the mot history, says corrosion is setting in to sills and floor.
  21. A mate of mine uses new jeeps for all his towing. He is a plant contractor, and lets say, "old school", regards rules and regs. He has had troopers, disco 2, 3 and 4s and has killed them all in one way or another. The only thing that has stood up to his testing are the jeeps. Might be worth a look. Mercedes engine and box, so good and strong. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-61-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-3-0-V6-CRD-LIMITED-5D-AUTO-237-BHP-DIESEL/202563745494?hash=item2f29bd76d6:g:pCoAAOSw5wFcFbQx:rk:6:pf:0
  22. Not far from me, someone is doing 3 year old, dry stored dumpy bags of beech for £40. Almost be worth buying the lot and selling on.
  23. A makita 7900 will breeze through the stuff you want to mill. I have milled with mine on a 28" bar with no problems. If you were closer you could have had a go.
  24. Where are you located Oaf?
