Welcome.
What part of the wee island do you call home? Have spent a fair bit of time over there after a 19,000 km trip.

I’m in the west Galway
Part of the country I will admit having not spent enough time in- maybe the next trip.
On the last I concentrated more on the South and Cork area- could have done with an interpreter!

Drunk or sober- if you can pick up half of what a deep Southern Irish man is saying- you are doing well!

Yep just a blowin?
You picked a nice part of the world to put down the anchor.
Do you get many saw issues, or whats the most broken item
to come your way.
Do you ever get twin bearing alternators you can sell on,
the brush less type, might be interested in one at the right money,
I used to find them regularly with the engine gone, put them on PTO.
Out of the loop for a long time now.
Am in Donegal.
I would be worried about you if you could understand the Cork man,
and no, after a few drinks, it did not improve, I got more Donegal,
they got more Cork, we made a strong case for sign language.

Most of my time is spent sharpening chain and changing bar and chains I’m restoring lots of 200t s at the moment as all the climbers don’t like the new ones and I’m sure I’m missing something double bearing alternators ?
When you said you fixed small engine stuff, I though generators, the older ones used to be twin
bearing, instead of just a bearing on the back, and the shaft sitting into a taper on the engine.
Not easy to find now, that's why I asked.
