  1. Just had a look at the engine (same) on my old Stiga, the coils are the other side of the engine to the starter motor and I can't really see how it could be incorrectly fed with current. What you described sounds more like a burnt out or seized starter motor, only a guess mind you.
  2. I never thought we would come to a time when someone would ask what a saw file was for, but I did do my apprenticeship in 1953.
  3. I had a early hymac 480 that you had to remember which way you slewed last or paid the price.
  4. Only cure on one of my husky s was to make some new bolts with the dies left slightly large.

    Tasty

    Never had so many, the largest are around 175mm. I've always known them as horse mushrooms, all I know is they are tasty.

  6. As good a 3cx as you can afford.
  7. Ted used a truckload of Ken Tyrrell's old racing tyres to light a bonfire at a site we were clearing in Byfleet, I ran and hid.I could see the smoke from New Haw.
  8. I still have one and the tapered auger that matches it. When I was apprenticed as a carpenter I used them to make a pole ladder, that also required me to rip down a timber scaffold pole. I still possess the ladder.
  9. Glad to see they are back, I counted over 20 of them at one point. A procession of adults bringing in the supplies.
  10. Still looking for a handle for my adze, it's been in the family for at least 150 years and was last used by me to cut the tenons on arris rails. They were supported in a V notch in a piece of 4x2.
  11. For what it's worth, I had the same problem with my L200, turned out to be dodgy relay, quick swap, problem cured.
  12. When I am running sheep in the winter I cut a strip around the pastures for the electric fence with my faithful ford 39/10 and votex topper, this copes with the usual brambles and ever encroaching blackthorn. Bit wider than the op wants, but the principle is the same. Wonder what happened to the Bamford Bandit?
  13. I've often wondered about the top cutting edge of the tooth having a chisel edge from a grinder and a slightly undercut edge from a round file.
