  1. J26, by the truck stop.
  2. Today we were supposed to do 3 jobs including a eucalyptus takedown, but our clutch went on the M25 so we're now sat in a layby waiting to get recovered. It's going to be a long day.
  3. I thought it was common knowledge. They don't have the torque, i'd rather have an old dog like my mate's 2003 TW150.
  4. L&S are really good and really helpful. I ordered a 550XP brake handle recently, said out of stock and 5-7 days for delivery, arrived in 2 days. Their customer service is great too.
  5. I do enjoy watching videos of people winching trees over with a single line. As you said, two points so it won't rock to the side.
  6. Like the times i've tried to drop start my 3120 and forgotten to press the poof button. Let me just casually put my shoulder back in its socket..
  7. It's a TimberWolf. It'll rattle itself to pieces whatever you do with it. 😂 We have 3 of them and i frequently have new and exciting faults to fix.
  8. Two tirfors? What kind of a Land Rover owner are you? Old bit of rope, 4 Low, pull 'er over. Quick tidy up and home by 5 to weld in a few new patches on your chassis that rotted out since you left this morning. 😂
  9. Maybe all manufactured by someone setup for casting lots of air-cooled 4-strokes? Or if it's a plated bore maybe something to do with the machining and plating of the bore. Simpler to machine a through tube than a closed one?
  10. Is it one of those ooooold skool ones? I've seen a few 2-strokes with separate jugs and heads, but 2-strokes are definitely not my area.
  11. Couldn't tell his arse from a hole in the ground. 😂
  12. 'Nuff said. 😬
  13. He was too busy trying to locate the head gasket.
  14. Well that's some bullshit.
  15. Is it just bumping up the max revs by moving the limiter stop screw on the injector pump?
  16. One of of our TW230s did all its belts a couple weeks ago and it was left until today to fix it as another chipper's down. "You going to drag that down the yard and do it in the unit?" Sod pulling that thing 150' through chip and mess, picked it up with the digger.
  17. You should be able to claim back the chipper rental from the insurance.
  18. If you scroll up Khriss has a wake up call for you! 😂 (Just kidding!)
  19. Thank you, i'll give that a look.
  20. I was talking to a Welsh friend the other day about women. Asked him how many sexual partners he'd had. He started counting then fell asleep.
  21. What's required? Is it adjusting a governor on the injector pump or something? 🤔
  22. You could buy a Husky one too and be bi-sawsual.
  23. An old jewish man's dying wish is to be buried with all his money. He passes away, at the funeral his wife and sons are there grieving. One son walks over to the open coffin and starts removing the cash. The other son rushes over.. "What are you doing? He wanted to be buried with all that!" He exclaims "No.." the other son replies. "He'll be uncomfortable with all that in there. I'm going to write him a cheque."
  24. What's the hardest part of a vegetable to eat? The wheelchair.
  25. Have you removed the clutch drum and checked the needle bearing? If they're damaged or seized they'll cause chain creep like weak clutch springs.
