Nice to see that Silver Jubilee Ford 7810 working. A neighbour has two minty ones.

I found a seller on UK eBay with a few G888 powerheads to sell. Tempted as I would love to mill with one.....

I had it in my head that the 500i was 52mm....

Thought you folk might be interested in something I spotted on the Bay of E... have a look at this and tell me what you think about a 54mm cylinder for an MS 550i - https://www.ebay.de/itm/ZYLINDER-FUR-STIHL-MS-550i-11470201200/174541863786?hash=item28a3817b6a:g:2YoAAOSwMp9fxr7W

Kidney stones have a habit of taking you from contented, deepest sleep to wide awake and clammy agony in a millisecond.

Kidney stones are unpleasant things... I had what is referred to as a staghorn kidney stone in my right kidney that measured 24mm in diameter and 14mm and 11mm stones in my left kidney, all at the same time. Took a while to get them broken up and even longer to pass the fragments. You'll be glad...

Maybe this will give you the best indication of where the new Husky saws are going: https://www.toolstoday.co.uk/husqvarna-k970-chain-petrol-chain-saw-14?gclid=Cj0KCQjwreT8BRDTARIsAJLI0KKJ32fUkejUBkV_gTZ8vqdFCyESpmkjudu-93pT0e5O0aBo4rSscnoaAmmvEALw_wcB

Never mind rumours, how about this: - MS880 vs MS881!

Given the intense bio security that New Zealand has in place, is it not more likely that UK customs were acting on behalf of New Zealand customs? In the not too distant future there will be issues around sending used ag and forestry items that have not been sterilised..... If your parts saw...

Its in place already!

Side views of the crankshaft counterweights:

The oil holes I referred to are visible in the following pictures. The crankshaft on the right has a Stihl logo etched into the crank journal. The one with the oil holes has no Stihl logo but came from a VERY early metal handled 038. @Mastermind - have you come across oil holes/slots like these...

AVs and Supers are the most common ones that I see in the UK and Ireland - there are some Magnums around but they are rarer (possibly because people hold on to them) and they command a premium. I have been working with or alongside an 038 for almost as long as I can remember. The one that my...

Can anyone confirm whether the con rod on an early 038 had an oil hole for the small end/wrist pin bearing and and an oil slot for the big end bearing? I dismantled the case of a metal handled 038 AV that I believe had very little run time and the con rod has these features but does not have...

Replace the clutch springs while you at working on this saw - if they have weakened, they may be the cause of the chain spinning whilst the saw is idling.

If anyone thinks that this is a hoax and you have friends or relatives in Europe, particularly Italy or Spain, contact them and see how they are doing. Ask them if they think it is hoax.

From the news reports in the UK and Ireland, things are starting to look grim in parts of the USA. NY City is struggling. There were over 500 deaths in the UK over the past 24 hours and the bulk of those were in London. I have been working from home for 10 days and I'm glad of that as I normally...

Just thought I'd share this...

I share this affection for 038s. My father and uncle bought an ex demo 038av in about 1980. It came to us without having done much work and it has been in constant use ever since. The first saw I bought myself was an 038 Super and I have been wanting a Magnum for years. They just don't come up...
