Resistance is futile

Was that a one of sale, or does the seller have more ?
That's the chainsaw
Emak dynamac dy51 50cc 50cm bar
Seems to have a broken brake (always braked)
@8ob if we are putting in orders,
I could do with a rwd gearbox that will bolt up to a 200/300tdi engine,
This is the straight shank arbour that I have been not buying.@mrsbruce I've been thinking Id get one of those - milling any workpiece with small cutters and repeat passes is a real pain.
Is that a straight shank version, or taper? Got a link, please?
I'll hold off until you get yours and hopefully you'll put up a review when it arrives?![]()

Doing a little demo work today. I had a scout about in the rooftop plant rooms. Found a full tin of Jizer and a big bronze screw from a gate valve.

Screws seems to loose themselves with vibrations .had one of those late last year worked what seamed to be fine some times took a few pulls befor starting

sorry to the bloke he said not to worry as he was passing but if you get it starting let me know
new spark plug and all working fine now first thing i do is put a new spark plug in befor selling or testing
In 2010 we did all the primary surveys on the buildings purchased for the cross rail development. Buildings were all isolated from services, we were the first ones in, while we were inside no one else was allowed. Everything left was fair game
Plenty of goodies had

Easy pickings
The Jizer can would have gone down the rubble chute I'm sure because no-one else would see any value in it. The screw I got because one of the labourers who obviously knew where they could nick a bit of non-ferrous from had removed all the bolts and the top from the gate valve and left the handwheel sitting on top. All I had to do was wind the screw out by hand and walk off with it. They had no right to it, but I do, so tough luck. Plus it's more valuable to me as turning stock than the £15 scrap they would get.
The last time I was covering the weekend there the whole lift room was complete with two electrical cabinets full of stuff like timer relays, a couple of decent VFD's, loads of other stuff plus a handful of nice grundfos booster pumps and several handy-sized motors. Before I could get a chance to pick through it properly the lads ripped the lot out and left it in a pile in the rain. Everything smashed out with a mattock.
I liked the first bit, the second bit is a shameEasy pickings

Oh dear, my best one was the block at Tottenham court rd. About 30 units in total. Way way too many things, big roll of armour cable, butchers block, knives, too many step ladders, Bose speakers, fridges etc etc ..........
Didn't find any dead junkies then? That happened to one of our guys.
