Build your own! Your more than capable!!! I’ve been following your build so far and your not shy on welding skills or future proof thinking ideas, you’ll piss it. And you always get that self satisfaction at the end, when ya stand back and look at it in operation and the thought....... “i did that” pops in to your swede and a big grin appears on your face! [emoji106] plus you’ll know it inside out.

Stick with it. The talk above is a generalisation on what would happen if changes WERE made. I’m still learning with it all, enjoying it too [emoji106]

Nice one Stere, that last paragraph answers what i was kinda pondering regards a saw being used for milling and the possibilities of wear / damage occurring to the bearings due to it being on its side. I get there is vacuum and pressure workings in the crankcase when running regards lubrication. But it still made me wonder as gravity surely must play a part on the uppermost bearing on a saw when milling.
-
Me too regards oil and rebuild, it tries to find the power i.e is made to work harder due to the fuel mix being leaner because of extra oil in mix, so intake of air is increased as it is gasping, which in turn ramps up the temperature. Bit like someone putting their hands round your throat, you gasp for more air and in turn you turn red and get all hot and bothered.

Hollywood! Could think of nothing worse!

Struggling a little Chessa...... been on the sauce, and now all is looking wonky and blurred from a far! ?
-
More oil, leans out the fuel, more air drawn to compensate, saw trying to find lost power, heat increases, bore suffers, from intake side more so, whilst smoking its knackers off, then the inevitable happens! A bearing implodes due to heat and stress and takes everything else out, or cylinder cops it resulting in eventual seizure and outward stress to cause everything else to shat itself. (Exaggerated worst case obviously)

Do your tests J honestly. Another asset to ya. Just think of the size of mill you could lug around with ya [emoji6] nation wide etc! Or transport your own to and from, or collect to bring in from..,,, collect from the port (if brexit allows [emoji23][emoji23]) etc etc, machinery hauling, other haulage jobs?! Can tax month by month now dont forget so dont need to tax it for 6 or 12 months anymore. It’ll be on your insurance regardless. Loads you could do J!!! [emoji108]

Yeah me!!! Ya flash get! [emoji6]

Pass! ?♂️ you’d know better than me, i just know i was pissed off after travelling to wigan/liverpool everyday (depending on allocated depot) for two weeks solid, was mentally draining and tiring at same time [emoji30] and to end each week on a test too! Glad when it was done. Passed C with 2 minors and CE with 1 minor, was well chuffed ?

Had a few bits off him, always as described and good for the money [emoji106]

13-7-07 for C and 17-8-07 for CE, bizzare cos i did my tests week after each other, C was in a volvo F6 i think and CE was in a FL10, both with manual box. I believe you can now take your test in an i-shift and still claim a manual licence from it if you passed your car test in a manual? Scary cos auto wagons vary hugely from manuals. And you know what its like when you start stirring soup and playing the juke box on a hill [emoji849][emoji6]?

Did it out of simonswood (if thats how its spelt) test station, its shut now also i think, my C tutor (Rodger) died of cancer about 8yrs ago and my CE tutor (Ken) got diagnosed with it about 2 yrs ago. Shitty and sad news ☹️
-
C first then CE, i think ? was 13 or so years ago since.
-
Did my test in a two week block with Thomas Hardies at Liverpool, (shut now) did my test round kirby and east lancs (rat race, scary!) no regrets though, string to my bow and all that.
-
Yep! 16yr old KIDS in big rigs (and i’m going to swear now) is FUCKING scary!!! Should have something written in to laws and tests by now.
-
Justme beat me to it and dito’d my thoughts [emoji849][emoji106]? go for it J, you’ve got it all then [emoji106]
-
No, be c1 first, then c1+e i think, but can do all in a combined training/test block over a fortnight i thing, justme will prob clarify [emoji106]
-
J just do your class 1, covers all your bases and needs. Your a man to push boundaries and create opportunities for yourself, can see that from all your threads. You’ll make use of it for defo [emoji106]
-
Just double check its right, i just went on your description above of 550/555/560, i’m not familiar with husky’s [emoji106]

It is a thought i’ve pondered on for a while, dont suppose he offered you a rough price did he? We have a engineering place we use at work for cylinder head work, valves, boring out and re-sleeving etc, wondered about asking their thoughts. What are your thoughts on saws that are used for milling, do you think they suffer from oil starvation regards the bearings due to the saw permanently being on its side?
-
Yeah its horrendous up in our quarry, turns to almost like a slurry, then when it dries out its like a ultra fine sand/dust, bloody horrible when it gets in ur eyes, overalls, jackets etc! I’d av to be paid seriously well to be out on my back doing that shite! Its bad enough we go crawling under trailers in rain sorting air leaks and strapping axles up for broken springs etc.
