Ah. Erm, well the mechanic has said he has been able to make a float pin for it. Not sure how long that is going to last though to be honest. So I am still on the lookout.

Yea, i put the doors on. The old truck cab gets jolly hot in the summer. Wind up windows way better than the slidys.Still got the original doors though.Yea Landdani, thats me.

neat what sort of wood is that in the back & what did you cut it withIll put pics of what I do with my girl Aussie hardwood some of the stringy barks stop the saw during cutting and bye what ever it is Hard

The wood in the truck is all ash. I burn any wood i get my hands and never cut trees down, its all wind blown stuff.I am fortunate to live on the fringe of a large woods and am friendly with the owner. Ash is the best wood to burn and is very controllable in the woodburners in my home. I need about 5 tons every 2 years as you can see my wood pile will soon be full and seasoned ready for the next 2 years. I have 3 chainsaws, all Husqvarna from 30cc to 85cc.I would have said that your saw just isnt sharp enough if it sticks on the bark.But, i dont claim to know about your indigenous trees.The hardest wood i have come across here is coastal old knarly salt hardened Scots pine. Smelt wonderfull on the fire though.

I first used broken branchs from the ground, then I used a "real" pices of wood from a (sawmill); a cock-tail of every thing (olive, almonds...)
The next winter I will try the oilmill garbage, they are pressing their garbage as a bloks and sell it as a wood branches of 1 KLG. for 7.5 SP a pice , befor pressing the garbage 2 years ago, they used to sell it as (DOGMA) for 0.60 SP for 1 KLG.
