    Many of us have done it as a first step out of living with your parents. You learn a lot about other people and yourself. I'm glad I don't do it now, and hope I never have to do it again.
  2. Mick Dempsey
    Yes, doesn't seem plausible.

    I dunno, they rise and fall exactly parallel with the roller box. I've never felt the rollers slid any better or worse at any point. Even after liberal applications of WD40 after a blade change. Mine weren't worn after 2000 odd hours, sounds like it doesn't do any harm either ways.
  4. Mick Dempsey
    Which was my rationale Joe.
  5. Mick Dempsey
    How did it improve performance? Not disputing just curious.
  6. Mick Dempsey
    Just the sliders, the roller bearings got greased every blade change.
  7. Mick Dempsey
    May have to change your user name then.

    Don't grease them, I had a tw150 for 13 years,apart from some wd40 every time I changed the blades I did nothing. They were as good as new.

    If he never paid any tax it's not like he contributed to it.

    I can't understand the British media's obsession with this story. The French have long since moved on to more pressing domestic/international stories. About time the British press did the same thing.
  11. Mick Dempsey
    Bored rigid about the whole thing now.
  12. Mick Dempsey
    Too right Pete, plus you can feel/see the grease get where it's needed.
  13. Mick Dempsey
    Ok, I'm not alone then. I'll defo change the ones on the flywheel.

    I have a Forst st8, great chipper blah blah. Anyway I'm very keen on maintenance and try and keep all my machines running as they should. So I keep an eye on everything and noticed that at least two of the pipes have split at the back of the bank. I've traced them to the roller bearings which from the outside look like the have grease for the moment, so no panic. I don't trust 'em! I've checked that the two main bearing supplies are functioning. I'm an owner operator so keep an eagle eye on stuff but you could be pumping away thinking you're doing the right thing and all the time it's running dry. I'm going to contact Forst after the weekend to see if I can put nipples on the flywheel bearings at least. Picture of the two pipes.
  15. Mick Dempsey
    Ok, cheers.

    I've seen this "walking floors" phrase before. What's that all about?
  17. Mick Dempsey
    I think that's what he's trying to avoid.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    And I've never conscientiously checked hydraulic connections.
  19. Mick Dempsey
    Dunno, I will say I've had 7 different chippers over the years and it's never happened once.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Google images seem to support that. If you're right, and I'll leave it for others to verify. It's a great shout. One of the best ident conundrums for a while.

    http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/84274-being-popular-beach-etc.html I'll start.

    "depends"?

    Reply to Big J. He's not our President for starters, he might improve relations with the russians, which would be nice. As for his relations with foreign leaders, pragmatism will rule.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    Don't throw yourself off the bridge just yet, he might be ok, stranger things have happened. It's the new reality. No point gnashing your teeth.

    "The bulk of the American public" you said, not who won the electoral colleges. I'm not too fussed who won, you understand, just want to pull you up when you produce stuff out your arse.
