It's an old harvester but it's paid for, I make more money when I'm hand-cutting. Oh well at least i could fix it and will be running tomorrow.

Well got cutting today and the saw feed started blowing it's fuse, and unfortunately i forgot my electrical tool box, couldn't find the short visually so hopefully test & find problem tomorrow. I use the harvey to cut the small pulp and bolts and bunch top wood to chip, then after it's forwarded i go in and hand cut the big stuff, thats what i love (no break-downs plus adrenaline rush). Been telling my buds lately that i'm not a logger i'm a mechanic lol.

I carry more wrenches than saws, something always comes apart, the joys of being a gypo logger. There is a few guys around here that carry a welder in the crummy as well as a plethora of wrenches, lubricants, saws, chokers, jacks, air compressor, moldy lunches, moldy socks, moldy snuss, mildewed rain gear, and seventeen rolls of duct tape...

How long this little mess put you down for?

LOL I hear you. I was down 3 days total. I was waiting for a nut from Fastenal, but had other issues to fix also. Duct tape the handy mans secret weapon:msp_wink:
