Thanks mate.
Appreciate the effort.
I’ve had a good look over the saw and only really need the case so I’ll just lash out and buy a genuine. Found a bloke who is happy to do the work.
Thanks for the advice.

Hey fellas just thought I’d ask a question here.
365 is off getting repaired but I’m buying a new saw anyway.
I’m looking at the 572 and the 592.
A lot of the wood I cut would be 20 to 30 inches so after something to run a 28 inch bar. The 572 looks good but I’m not sure if it will actually go alright in dry box? I’ve seen American videos with longer bars on the 572 but don’t think the timber is comparable. The 592 looks good but it’s an extra $500 so just thought maybe someone may have some real world experience on a 572 cutting Australian timber?
Thanks

Got to ride to top tree in the crane basket today yay much easier than hauling up the 35metre. The refit of new star pole went surprisingly well considering the gusty squalls passing by. Crane safe ops cut off was 11m/sec we had 22m/sec with hail at one stage..
Im now a lightning protection system expert as refitted the earth wire to ground post.

This was my mums 1st husband he died later during WW2.
His tiny pocket diary remained with me for 40+ years but I could not grasp much of the faint pencil cursive writing.
So I sent it to AWM Australian War Memorial in 2004,, well they called me last week to say had deciphered it.
In a few days will be 80th anniversary of this story to tell.

Description
Diary relating to the Second World War service of 400976 Pilot Officer David Taylor Galt DFC, 460 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force.
In his diary, Galt recounts his experiences as the pilot of an Avro Lancaster bomber that was hit, caught on fire, and crash landed in France in late November 1942 with no fatalities. He describes the details of his return to England, including his evasion of German soldiers, travelling through fields and woods and avoiding roads, seeking help from French villagers, taking several train trips, making friends, forging identity papers, walking through the Pyrenees Mountains, being stopped by Spanish Carabineros, and finally returning to England via Madrid. The last three pages of the diary have a list of “Observations” about his successful escape. Galt later lost his life in a flying battle over the Bay of Biscay on 13 August 1943.
