Forgot to post a link. Only around a tenner apiece. They'd have to be pretty naff to not be worth it.

"The Terry Leaf Spring Greaser. Pat. Applied For"
It's for greasing old fashioned leaf springs.
(something you must not do to plastic interleaved leaf springs !)

I didn't even know leaf springs had to be greased

Found the issue with the compressor motor.
The original 3 or 5 hp motor had been replaced with a 10 hp one.
This would explain why it always tripped the guy's breakers on starting it up.
It's right on the limit of what my phase convertor will start, so if I test the windings it may be good to use as is.

Not seen one of them for donkey’s years! I did have one at one point, but no idea what happened to it.
But the clamps hold the leaves together so this device couldn't work.
Fired this up last night.
Took quite a few pulls to get going, but idled away we'll once running.
Pretty damned loud though!
My folks place has an Ash Tree that looks to have the ash die-back disease. It's in the hedge alongside the road.... so the ole man got a letter from the counvil telling him to deal with it - or they would...& send him the bill.
So if the chainsaw gets this one task done (plus the wood for my daughters log burner) it'll owe us nothing.
I don't know a great deal about chainsaws (have operated one quite a few times sporadically over the years) - but while it's no Stihl it looks pretty good given its £80 for a 20" saw with a 58cc engine. Like I say - it's really just this job & cut up some Firewood - so a long service life etc wasn't part of the purchasing decision. (I chose the Vevor one simply as so far to be fair I've had nothing truly ropey from the brand edp given the prices)
I'm going to run it in gently to try and get best starting and running out of it & give it a fair chance - & fingers crossed it'll manage what we need it to do.
I'll need to lop branches (it's thankfully not a very big tree) as the only drop zone is the roadside verge (other trees preventing dropping it into the field).... so probably going to put a small scaffold up for stable platform, and lop off manageable size cuts that can be quickly moved off into the nearby gateway (with some traffic watch etc). Once it's down to hedgetop level - plan is to just leave it well alone at that point.
