the all aussie dribble thread!

[AUSSIE1]

First day of spring guys!!! YUM!!!

Had to work today due to shifting a job due to bad weather previously in the week.

Tallandoon (Eskdale). Another beaut part of the world.

Hi Al!!!

I like the way you've utilised pre existing tek screws on the roof instead of drilling new ones everywhere like the average Hillbilly installer

Geeze guys, I get nearly all my spare parts out of the US (or Germany). I want to be loyal to the local dealers but I am sick of being bent over the counter. I can order parts from the US and receive them faster than if I go to the dealer down the road - and save $$$ too.


Thanks for starting up an Oz thread.

Al.

Hi, can I ask where do you buy from overseas? I know what you mean by the local stealerships, but I have to say a couple of things lately have been very competitive, $20-$50 items only but still better than online!

Yes, thanks for the Aussie thread!

Probably best to find out who, what, when, and where in private messages mate. At the moment there is of course Asia and the US but the UK is also very competitive on some items.
As far as saws go you have to know someone in the US/UK to get them for you to avoid dealer rules about selling online.

Also where in the Western Districts are you?

Hi Matt!!!

Yeah it's the way to do it. Also I try and avoid penetrating the roofing iron.

Yup. More holes, higher risk of leaks

Hey Matt, do you have any 16" bars to suit an Atom... I never know what's lurking in that shed of yours :msp_biggrin:

 

[Rudolf73]

It even comes with a stihl chain and shaver bag! Must be genuine :monkey:

HUSQVARNA 365 GASOLINE CHAINSAW 65CC 3.4 KW NEW IN BOX | eBay

Far out these chinese sellers are taking over ebay...

Atom isn't listed in any catalogues I have, new or old. What mount do those things take?

I like the model description...

"CS6500 Husqvarna 365 Type"

I'm betting that this isn't coming from the Chinese manufacturer at all. It would have been bought from them by somebody who wants to make a quick buck and rip somebody off.

I wish I knew I found a Oregon 168 _ H009 which is close but the tail is too narrow, when I tighten the chain cover the chain jams in the bar rails.
When I first bought the Atom some bright spark fitted a 16" 3/8 LP bar and chain, the oil hole was 10mm out... this is a 60cc saw.

Might be easier if you looked for a bar to suit a 620 Solo as their much the same basic saw.

On a lighter note

Yes but us boat people are paying compensation to the original land owners and to the new boat people.

Our wallets are getting yanked on from both directions!

 

[splitpost]

ooh yeah!

Great for smaller items but i bought the simple hose and gun so i can use a large bucket of sand and blast out in the yard that way the sand helps fill in any undulations in the yard i have a 14 cu in compressor to power it with so that helps a bit i suppose.
