A lovely pile of sawn oak,for two garden seat replacements plus cross members for all 3 of my youngman boards.
All for free from our local sawmill,as I gave up our field for parking when they had an open day.

I need to replace drivers side sill on my 2012 transit amazingly it’s never been welded and isn’t to bad.

We need a new thread show us your rusty tranny….

Didn’t take any during as my workman took over from me,I bought a pair of sills and butted together for full length on the door side,what was left went on the other,admirably he made his own tapered one under the driver door. The rear cross member ,he fabricated from 2x 3mm box,then the rest was rolled and shaped from 3mm plate,all waxoyled.

Another red flag for me is outside EU.
Most of the bargains I can try to get are in UK but postage and custom duty will double the price.
I've learned the hard way buying broken small engine buying an Husqvarna K770 from France.
Paid too much in first place.
I was sure it had a blown top end, and it did so.
Top end was 50 euro
Maintenance kit was 50 euro inc shipping+taxes because from UK
While repairing it I've discovered that the carb would continuously spit fuel flooding the engine even if not running.
Replacing carb other 30 on Amazon
I've then discovered that the intake plate don't match the aftermarket cylinder
Ordered a new one from the us 40 euro.
Guess what after a month waiting for it, I figured out it's exactly the same intake plate, non sense to send it back as it would cost me a lot more than ordering another one.
Did so paid other 30 euro for an used one.
Didn't arrive yet and I'm afraid it could be another post 2013 plate .
If so I'll either have to buy an OEM cylinder kit or cut and weld the intake manifold from the original blown cylinder to make an adapter causing all sorts of headaches.
I didn't had a look at the Stihl and I'm scared to do TBH

If your latest one arrives and is still the late version I have a spare early intake assembly and plate here I could offer cheap.

But are you sure the cylinder kit you have is putting out around 150psi? If unsure best get a new cylinder kit or at least a piston kit if the original cylinder is OK. If you have a late intake already then a cylinder kit to match that will work.

Can that be converted for vacuuming? Very useful for cleaning up leaves, etc instead of blowing it everywhere.

No its a blower only.

Vacuum leaves in this country is a bad idea anyway Leaves always damp of wet and they soon clog up the fan, housing and tubes of a vacuum type blower in my experience.

So I prefer to blow them into a corner and scoop them up into a bin. Blower always stays clean and at full power then.

I powerwash them off the lawn & paths up to an L shaped 1/2 " chicken wire screen . Leave then to drain ,then shovel them into the compost bin , does two jobs at once as the path loses the green tinge .

Cylinder kit is brand new but not an OEM one.
I'm not sure about how many psi is putting out, I don't feel compression but is the way they built which doesn't allow you to feel it, plus the rings surely didn't break in yet so compression might feel low just because of that, the thing runs just dies because it takes too much air from the plate.
If you have an early intake assembly I'd take it even if the one arriving is the correct one .
The consaw is going to be mine for many years to come, and spares are always welcome in those cases just have to wait till the 20th of this month.

Just my taste in music! Dio was the best voice in heavy rock and Blackmore is a genius.

Those CD cases remind me about my youngest years.
My brother is 11 years older than me, he had a PlayStation and the games were stored in those cases, driver, crash bandicoot, Rayman...
Obviously too young to appreciate this type of music.
I simply don't like them, but I have to admit that I might know many songs but not their singers or even names.

Spotted this in screwfix so got one:






I like Nebo led lights, this one is good and strong and rechargeable. Also very light and compact.

Has a clip which could go onto a hat cap. But I took that off and set up with the head strap.
