  1. Fids are used mainly for rope splicing,but are handy for teasing locked knots apart.
  2. It's called a Fid. Try a boat chandler.
  3. Looks great, I hope the sweat from your brow did not corrode your equipment. (Any of it).
  4. Can be a hose that has partially collapsed through a kink. Had the same sort of problem on my Kubota 2400. Not at 50kph though.
  5. A few words can paint a thousand pictures!

    Chainsaws.

    I think that I will stay south of the Thames just in case he's not joking.
  7. Hi have the same trouble (Also L200/Ifor Williams)although mine is the rear fog playing tricks.Caused apparently by a faulty relay.
  8. You could also use Plastigauge. It is useful stuff for measuring all sorts of clearances.
  9. If it is on the end weld it might be possible to drill and tap it for a small plug.
  10. You are running a 5/16 pitch sprocket with a 3/8 pitch chain,so change one or the other. You might have a problem finding a sprocket to suit that saw however.
  11. Take the bloomin plug out!
  12. I agree,just done some 60' conifers with a 1.5 ton Hanix. Took about 3/4 of an hour per stump. I felled about 5' up to get a bit of leverage,pull a bit then dig a bit.I used a 12" bucket with a single tooth. (My digger by the way,so I was not giving it a lot of stick). Cleaned and moved the stumps o.k. with bucket and blade,on the fire and gone.

    Unknown saw

    I've got a couple of Homelites dating back to the 1960's,one red tother is blue,one of which is still in use.(150db and no chain brake) 18" bar and goes like a goodun. So I think your saw is a Craftsman.
  14. There might also be issues with site stability due to groundwater changes caused by tree removal.
