the all aussie dribble thread!

[huntingrob]

Going to have a proper look at it tomorrow and recheck everything, with no bar on it, nothing comes out the hole. Managed to find a workshop manual online for the 555/556/560/562 so that'll be a great help if it has to come apart. I cracked the ***** this arvo and decided to do some plinking with the .22 instead.

How's the property goin mate, you getting a bit done?

Yeah everything is coming together, will finally get my D4 home in a couple weeks or so, the scrub canopy is mostly done on it. That will help greatly.

Just wondering if some one could explain what ' AIR INJECTED IS' please compared to a std saw

 

[Bwildered]

I've had quite a few hiluxes as company work vehicles, for the old models, I'd hate to drive one more than a few hours with my back the way it is. They are a great little vehicle within reason, a friend of mine folded one in two towing a boat on a rough road.

It means the air for the air box is taken from the flywheel fan housing, so it's pressure injected into the air box which give a performance increase, also the intake of this system is close to the fan blades which acts like a cyclone & separates the heavier material to the outside of the fan housing leaving cleaner air being forced into the air box.

Good info re the Stihl661 gents, thanks.
AJ known to you R661, he/she seems a little confused......at times anyway, lol on some issues yes, others no.
I like the sense of humour he/she has, err Dave has, or Davina or whatever.........

Well i think it's a Remington 754g, a lot were issued for military use, seen one unsold on eBay.com for $200, funny how you'll stumble across a saw and next thing you spend the whole night researching them lol

If you want quality, try Metabo, I use their 18 volt gear at work and it's awesome. All made in Germany too.

They make good mains power drills too. A few guys I work with use em and they swear by them too.

With the cordless I had the Panasonic before the Hitachi and they were great. Might have been the first cordless drills available in Aus.

Well I'm glad I clicked on the link because that Remington and the yellow solo chainsaw in the back ground of some of the pictures use to belong to my dad and grandad until last Saturday when we had our clearing sale. I asked my dad about the Remington and he said that he remembers that it ran really rough and didn't start well so it didn't get used that much. The solo was still being used until about thirteen years ago when my dad bought a new husky 372xp which we have since upgraded to a 576xp auto tune. The Remington has had a loot of layers of dust cleaned off it since last Saturday I can tell you [emoji23][emoji23] I hope someone gets it and puts it on their wall in their man cave

So this guy's is asking $3150 for both......seems um mm a bit steep and I'm sure he would never had paid that for them.....100 bucks each I'm guessing

 

[farmerward]

Yeah well the solo started at 100 but I can't quite remember what the Remington made

Here's 1 of the u78cc semi final events from Wondai. Blocks 2 & 3 seemed a little softer than the others.
My little 372xp was flying!

The price is good but sounds too good to be true

Even with Ebay's guarantee, I think I'd rather let the first wave of buyers test the authenticity first.
