How about slacking off the gib strips on the slide.

You could check the generator voltage when the saw is running under load.

Found these, they look similar. Old Plumber's Bobbins in TREEN.html

A form of greeting in my youth used to be "wocher mush," so from the same root I suppose.

They look like lead bobbins, they vary from 1" to about4.5" diameter and are used with a metal weight or follower for bending lead pipes.

I am pretty sure they are used for working lead pipe.(Bossing).

If you carefully support the track everywhere it tries to sag, then you will easily prise it off the idler. Logs cut to length are ideal. Even if you managed to remove the sprocket you would never get it back in with the chain on. Its not like you are dealing with a new chain, that ones going to have a fair bit of side play. Give the joining pin your best shot, if it shifts then split the track, if not then track off. You might be able to leave it on the support roller and still give yourself some working space. Whatever watch your knuckles and your toes and good luck.

I have been scratching my head and remember rechaining an M/F 450s at Loampits, I seem to recall splitting that track and as billhook says there was a dimple in the pin end. The other occasion you might have been present was at Stoney Yarrows when I retracked an M/F 200, but that one was cut off as it was to have new chains, plates and sprockets.

Hi, yes I have replaced quite a few track chains, but the accent is on replaced. The old chains were just cut off with a torch and the new ones ( usually Berco) came with a drive in joining pin and that was a two sledgehammer job. As Aspenarb says, you can usually roll the track on or off with the adjusters fully released. Or go on a job miles from anywhere and they will come off on their own. Looking at the problem you might have to get inventive with a decent bottle jack to get the grease out of the adjusters and then use some decent crowbars to prise the track off. Keep the swear box handy.

That would be a job for a qualified professional I feel.

If you lubricate a fastener that had a torque setting calculated for a dry thread, then you will end up with much more tension than the designer intended. Possibly to a dangerous level. The principal behind lubricated fasteners is that they are more consistently tensioned, as in cylinder head studs etc. The torque setting being adjusted for a lubricated thread.

And with a taper seat it must be like driving a splitting wedge in there.

Dry grinding of highly stressed heat treated steel can produce stress cracks caused by local grind burns. Even a Queens flight helicopter was brought down by such a fault in the main rotor shaft.

Characters like this don't help. He treads the cover down at the edge to get some water on top, then treats himself to a bath.

You shoot pheasants with a .308. Wow.
-
The instruction when assembling engines etc. was to lightly oil threads before applying the torque to the fastener, this to prevent seizure and a false reading.

Pool + trees=Work A debris cover works to a small extent, however the wind will lift it up and insert all the debris straight into the pool. With a solar cover all the rubbish just blows to the edge and then into the pool. I get willow and Oak blown in from all directions, none of which overhang the pool.

I agree about the survey, the danger is if there is any pre-existing damage that you can end up carrying the can for.

I have had a Stiga Park President for well over five years and it easily copes with three acres of lawn. However with a wet spring the grass can beat it, making it necessary to bring my trusty Kubota F2400 into play. The Kubota uses a fraction of the (diesel) fuel than the petrol Stiga, The V-twin Briggs engine really gallops through it.

I just wondered about access, but if you are happy to leave the stump its of no consequence. It would be interesting to give it a bit of a tug, just to see what moves. (Probably the shed).
-
What is the other side of the fence?
-
With the saw blade, same as nails, barbed wire and anything else you haven't spotted
-
I'm scared to ask.

Changing bottom rollers on Drotts you became quite expert at burning bolts out of blind holes. With the small Sapphire torch it was quite a delicate job, mainly because you were on your back looking upwards.
