    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.

    Check out the mot history, says corrosion is setting in to sills and floor.

    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

    Advice

    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.

    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.

    Could drill a hole big enough for a self tapping screw and then pull out with pliers or similar.

    Unfortunately, it will also be an opportunity for unscrupulous types to kill off a lot of healthy ash trees claiming that they are dangerous/diseased.

    Is there a way of bleeding the manual side of the pump?
  12. woodwizzard
    Thanks J. My axle is only rated at one ton, so may be pushing it a bit. Just so happens I'm felling oak tomorrow that would suit this spec. i may just cut a load a 3'6" and go from there.
  13. woodwizzard
    I have a trailer which is 8'x5'x3'2". So as a rough estimate, it would hold 30 lengths of your 3'6" at 12" diameter. Anyone want to estimate what they would charge for this as all oak?
  14. woodwizzard
    Not too far away, just outside Dulverton. Do you cut your 3'6" lengths down?
  15. woodwizzard
    Where are you on Exmoor Durruti? Have tried selling green in the past with no take up. I would struggle knowing what to charge for green, cut to length un-split logs.

    Don't ask mate, it will make you cry!?
  18. woodwizzard
    I don't understand quoting to not get the job or if you don't want it, why not just say no thanks? Is this not potentially ripping people off?
  19. woodwizzard
    Or just get someone else to drive it ?

    What's a mastermind saw Andrew, sounds interesting. I'm still thinking about a 60cc saw, but can't make my mind up between 6100 and 560.

    You would, but it's not, we want vid! Or the midnight stealth step-cut ?
  23. woodwizzard
    Don't just tell us how it goes, we need video ?

    Is that going to work on snappy H/C?
