Being old school ,for one I don't use salad oil for bar lube oil .Mine comes out of the ground from an oil well .As far as gear drive pumps the most best design I've seen is on a Partner P-100 .It's all internal within the crankcase .No dirt and crud gets into to it . The worst I've seen was on...

The mention of this device my mind goes back when whoever it was,forgot asked for ideas on this forum of what to use to build it ..The last I heard it was successful but not a real money maker.Some other concern was alleged to use the same design and sell it for less causing much consternation...

A lot of these mid western premium white oak logs get sent to China and come back as oak plywood .I'm not certain if any of the premium plywood is made in North America . Fact a local yokal who has a log yard sells most of their logs to China Arrow Forest, LLC. - https://www.arrow-forest.com/ .

Typical Ohio .2 below a week ago now in the 40's .Pitter patters of rain, snow is all gone .

The last I hand threaded was a piece of 2 inch for an exhaust on an Oliver crawler using a combination die .I had to use a three foot cheater bar to crank down the die .75 years old and 40 pounds light makes a difference . As far as plumbing pipe it goes like this .Righty tighty ,lefty loosey...

It's been rather mild so far .However the hawk of winter is on the wing and it looks like the Siberian express will visit us about Monday or Tuesday .Predicting below zero with wind .WTH retired,throw another log on the fire and settle in to hybernate for a spell .Got food ,plenty of adult...

This Ekka business he conned someone to send him a Stihl 200T to where ever he was OZ NZ where ever .It developed problems evidently nobody could fix, he wasn't a mechanic .Typical run 15 minutes then lean out which is usually seals .He sent me the carb which might have been a crack in the fuel...

From my observation the small trees were saved most likely because they didn't contain enough inner bark to sustain the EAB grubs . In my case with the die off of mature trees zillions of new saplings have risen up because the sunlight could reach the ground .Those little saplings are about...

Theres a trick or two you can use .First on the old Cats is getting the pony motor started .Roll it over first on decomp then on fuel off .Use a torch over the intake to heat up the air then kick in the fuel .It will moan,groan,fart and finally fire up on two while blowing smoke rings for half...

Willows are a little like star fish .Leave a little branch lay on the ground and it will morph into another tree . I watched a guy locally do battle with a big fat plump one over a 20 year period .Weeping willow about 5-6 feet at ground level .Finally got it down to the ground and piled old...

Around here willows are basically a swamp tree .As such they can send out roots that will clog up drain lines if left go in yards .So basically they are considered weeds .Kind of hard to kill once they get started . About the only thing the wood might be used for is fish creels and baskets...

The only reason for white gas back in the day was because the lead in the gasoline could foul the jets on camp stoves and mantle lanterns .BTW modern gasoline does not contain lead .So whatever you use in your automobile should be fine in your camp stove unless you have a newer model that takes...

Often times on repairs you need to factor in design flaws .I did a repair on my lady's daughters recently on a zero turn mower. It was plain as the azz on a goat it came screwed up from the factory .What were they thinking ?I laid enough enough 7018 to those broken welds to pass pressure hull...

The s model 10-10 was the last produced and 57 cc's rather than 54 cc's . I've got one a trimmer bought new but never used much and had the original chain .It spent about 20 years in a basement .Typical of most trimmers saws the brake had been removed . It's a shelf queen I don't use but the...

I was going to suggest a cracked fuel line myself .I get it though because some times you just have to walk away before you blow a gasket .I've got a couple like that right now that have not ran in a long time .When you amass a number of saws it's nearly a full time job just to keep them all...

Those west coast giants I'll be first to admit are way above my skill level . A 3 foot oak and a 12 foot redwood don't even belong on the same page .

Dang and I thought my 4 foot oak trees were giants .Wow !---mere pecker poles

I'm certainly not a feller and never saw a redwood nor a Douglas fir .However I never could hit a wedge with the butt end of an axe .All I did was destroy the wedge and thus a 4 pound dead blow is my weapon of choice .

It isn't just California .They are trying to get a kings ransom out of them just about every where . Anymore unless they are reasonably priced and have potential I pass them up .My labor is worth something .It might take me several years to find all the parts but they all run well after I'm done...

I'll take the cover off one of my 200t's and see if I can get the big picture .As far as I know it uses the same cover as the rear handled .Which BTW I've never seen a rear handle model .I'm just going on what I found on the IPL .
