Frightening, I thought the meter must be malfunctioning. Oils bad enough at nearly £1 per litre.

Maybe my birthday being the 29th of Feb has got something to do with it.

You need a chain for the claws to walk along. The two flat hooks cross over with the fence wire between them. This sort of thing.

Telegraph poles - new pole on private land

If they are not connected with you property, just tell them that you don't want any infrastructure on your land. -
Still digging holes and felling conifers, my brother in law followed your line of work with Seer TV until Hepatitis knocked it on the head.

Having grown up during the last war in a workman's cottage, with just a kitchen range in the living room (No kitchen, just a scullery) and of course no insulation whatsoever, how did we all survive, as most in our village were in the same boat. Mind you there were some pretty impressive chimney fires. That's me aged one outside our local supermarket.

I sent this picture to Parker Brand as it did not seem right and two days later a new pump arrived and a courier to collect the faulty one.

Similar problem on my 18" saw bench, Belts start to slip (Silently) heat up the pulleys causing the belts to slip more until the sound of the cut changes alerting you to the problem. So most probably the belts are at fault, i.e. not tight enough or past it. Or we are a bit greedy on the cut.

If you can dig the tip out, a couple of days. If not, well I have still got a hard lump from one a couple of years ago and I can still feel it if I bang it. I've got blackthorn all round one of my fields, so a continued battle to keep it back. sometimes I wish that I had never sold my Cat 951.

Probably still got the tip of the thorn in there.

Just filled my cans with E0 from North Heath service station near Pulborough, they said they are not going to stock E10.

Badgers have removed them from here too. ( Found the last remains about four years ago).

If you are truly trying to get rid of the bamboo, then the last option above is the best route, and you might need a bit more than a mini digger. Been there, done that. ( Opposite Hook Heath Golf Club, about half acre of it, some clumps about five feet across).

info on green waste removal in summer months?
Deafhead replied to AndyChalmers's topic in Firewood forum
It's not me, honest. -
I've still got muscles on my muscles from using those years ago.

Hi there, Blower rebuilt using old ring, query about it being chrome though, some carbon in the groove behind the ring. Compression with oiled bore still just 140 and still no sign of it attempting to fire. The overall condition is pretty good otherwise I wouldn't be bothering with it. Even if there was still a problem with the carb it should still fire with a squirt of fuel in its throat. Anyhow enough is enough, appointment arranged with Mr Skip.
-
Good point, but the base o ring gasket is in fine shape. The ring pushes easily into the bore so its either lost tension or worn out.
-
I might try and find a new ring for it, failing that, in the box it goes.
-
Interesting, but the innards have got Husqvarna written on them
-
Hi, I am the owner of the blower and you are right about the ring, however ( I nearly said my ring was loose then) The ring was free in the groove and the gap had opened up to about the limit, so a new ring may have cured it. It was barely adequate for the job anyway, so I have treated myself to a new backpack blower.

Why not use a 3/4 x 22mm coupling.

Starting a Petter PH1 single cylinder Diesel engine
Deafhead replied to Baldbloke's topic in General chat
Just to add to the fun, some of these engines had an extension to the camshaft for the starting handle, which meant you could at least get a bit of speed up before dropping the decompressor, it also meant you had either a clockwise or anticlockwise starting handle. The other trick was for the handle to slip off the shaft and fetch you one up side the ear or knee depending how you stand. Openspaceman could probably add something about the starting of the twin cylinder variety. The fact we are all on this discussion means we all believe that Friday is definitely poets day. -

I think there might be a fine filter on the outlet from the pump, but cant be sure. -
Starting a Petter PH1 single cylinder Diesel engine
Deafhead replied to Baldbloke's topic in General chat
I take it you have undone the bleed screw on the pump and made sure bubble free fuel is coming out, also does the pump rack slide easily back and forth. Stopping the engine with the decompressor lever will wash the oil off the bore and eventually cause poor compression for starting. When turning the engine over, you should hear an audible creak from the injector.
