heres my bars ,1 has been used a lot lol


the other is ok, hows the best way to clean it up and how many DL would it be for the 031
Wire brush and stand them on a level bench to make sure the rails are true. Clean the groove out with a hacksaw blade. Minimum rail height for 3/8 is 6mm and dl count should be 66
 
Selling all my Husky Bars and chains, 5 18'' and 1 22''
All for $100 if any ones interested, the bars are all in good condition
leaving them oily

ACUTE TOXICITY
Dicamba is moderately toxic by ingestion and slightly toxic by inhalation or dermal exposure (11). Symptoms of poisoning with dicamba include loss of appetite (anorexia), vomiting, muscle weakness, slowed heart rate, shortness of breath, central nervous system effects (victim may become excited or depressed), benzoic acid in the urine, incontinence, cyanosis (bluing of the skin and gums), and exhaustion following repeated muscle spasms (2, 3). In addition to these symptoms, inhalation can cause irritation of the linings of the nasal passages and the lungs, and loss of voice (11). Most individuals who have survived severe poisoning from dicamba have recovered within 2 to 3 days with no permanent effects (11).
Dicamba is very irritating and corrosive and can cause severe and permanent damage to the eyes (11, 14). Running water should be flushed through the eyes for at least 15 minutes if any dicamba is splashed into them (5). The eyelids may swell and the cornea may be cloudy for a week after dicamba is splashed in the eyes (3).

In some individuals, dicamba is a skin sensitizer (5). It may cause skin burns (15). There is no evidence that dicamba is absorbed into the body through the skin (3).

The amount of a chemical that is lethal to one-half (50%) of experimental animals fed the material is referred to as its acute oral lethal dose fifty, or LD50. The oral LD50 for dicamba in rats is 757 to 1,707 mg/kg, 1190 mg/kg in mice, 2000 mg/kg in rabbits, and 566 to 3,000 mg/kg in guinea pigs (3, 10). The dermal LD50 in rabbits is greater than 2,000 mg/kg (10). The lethal concentration fifty, or LC50, is that concentration of a chemical in air or water that kills half of the experimental animals exposed to it for a set time period. The inhalation LC50 for dicamba in rats is greater than 200 mg/l (11).
 
I am a big fan of Kamba M, I don't like any chemicals but I do the whole exposure suit, goggles and mask twice a year and do all the lawns around our house in town and suffer the odd bit of flat weed in between.

Kiyuku in lawns? I am trying my best to keep it out and run around like an idiot during winter spot spraying with roundup and injecting runners when they crop up in the lawn and pulling them out when the ground is wet.

But remember I am only a home owner not an aggie.

Been cleaning up the 090 I acquired last weekend, come up nice after giving it a scrub up.
 
really?? lv line on ancient old need to go wood cross arm they "DB" could'ad underground this span or ABC line for $10 grand but nup we'll just hack the high value landscape amenity tree :(

View attachment 445403

Derick the tree is now ugly no doubt.

you would be surprised by the cost of underground for one span.
poles are rated on the kilo newtons of force that can be applied to the sideways to the tip of the pole (25 KN are the super extra heavy duty timber poles)
those poles are in the middle of a run of cable an are only rated to hold the wired up and the force of the wind blowing on the pole and wires.
poles at the end of a line or at a change of direction are much larger.

all poles have a disc on them.
top line of numbers registered plant, preservative type, and hazard class numbers in a sequence
second line individual pole number
third line pole length and max permissible load
fourth line species of tree and year of treatment

so the job becomes install temporary connection to keep power on to the two properties on the right side of picture
temporary connection to the poles before and after these poles, or route power another way might be possible
there is some service running up the far pole i can make out , but it is an other complication
assuming there are no buried services that mean that the new poles are no longer allowed to put back on the old pole positions ( sounds crazy but it happens)
remove both poles and up grade them, the will need guy wire bracing with buried anchor points. this will require partial road closure at minimum
underground trenching 1.2 meters deep from pole to pole will cut approx 30 to 40 percent of tree roots on one side.
Which is not good for the tree two reasons 1. root shoot ratio will be all wrong 2. the stability of the tree with root plate non existent on one side.
Cost could easily exceed $60K
over head lines are not sized for much load diversity (growing demand as it is relatively simple to increase the size of over head wires)
underground systems are sized foe double the diversity due to the expense of digging it up and re doing the system.

Vegetation and services, gas, water, sewerage, phone, power, fiber optic and cable TV don't mix above or below ground.
all services need to be maintained, replaced or upgraded at some time for many reasons.
we don't have a good record of keeping service corridors well documented, and free from non conformance (shallow services) and segregated from each other and everything that grows
 
Cost could easily exceed $60K

yer right placement of trees vs over head wires should be with great fore thought & yer right one span lv urban underground upwards of $50K + and yes more often i'd just sox trees as care less for amenity and landscape vs cost of engineer solutions... but rare few like this one get my dander up as good tree value vs small pocket power supply makes debatable..Here Lv - Abc = 10K & job easy if planned well 3 customers off for 4 hours

i'm currently working on avoiding a very similar conflict next few years & met DB distribution business rep last week onsite.. To ABC " aerial bundle cable" the span of Lv $10k to ABC the Hv " which they don't like" $50K to underground the lot lv - hv $100k even tho it already goes UG at pole..
so thanks for the feed back as i'm using this example to avoid my own soon predictable problem and your helping me frame up what i'm putting together ATM of price options and will need to show prove my reasons vs cost to the bean counters :)

Hi guy,s, looking for points and condenser for Tecumseh AH 81 engine
If any one knows /or has some please let me know please
I want to fire up the BIG10

Thanks Derrick

Very informative and learnt a lot...

Sprayed it this arvo.....prolly need to hone my back pack spraying technique a little as I put only about 12 Ltrs on 250 sq. Mtrs. ....no wind. No accidents....

Bought it from Wiggies in Maffra and the bloke there was really knowledgeable and helpful too.
