Ernie,

Welcome to the site. Your place looks sweet! I live over in Chesterfield and will definitely try to make it there. I look forward to meeting you and everyone else that shows up.

Ernie is my desktop background for the next 30 days. Remind me to get off my ass and pack up some saws. (Then hit the moonshine)

Has anybody heard from Dinosaur50 lately? I think it's strange he's not typing away. Hope he hasn't fallen on hard times.

He has been emailing me , he sent some pics of two 775g homelites he wants me to work on!!!! and the last word i heard of him he told me he can't make it to the GTG because he has to work on that saturday !
 
Shine on

Please note this will not be a beer party , those pics are just for fun , ernie is a hoot and he would never disrespect any body that would like to bring a family , but ernie has been known to take a few sipps in his day , please do not let those pics discouage any body from coming that would like to bring their kids or wife , we aim to have a good time and any adult beverages that will be consumed ,, should be on the LOW!! , we want every body to be safe that day , once you get to know ernie he is one of those "good ol'e boys that likes a good time "
He is working real hard on that sawmill so it will be on display , and operating

Right now he needs a all steell pulley to go on his farmall 400 , he told me it is the 8 bolt pattern pulley , but we think a 4 bolt pattern will work .
He has a friend that picked up 671 detroit power unit with clutch for him real cheap that runs but i have not heard any more about this .
I think he will just use a tractor at GTG for now , last week he got a order of 6x6 salt posts to start on building , he would like to talk to you some more about the mill parts at your storage unit!

Thanks for that post David. I don't drink anymore and prefer to stay away from it as much as possible.

I may have a pulley in my building that would work, but it will probably be paper. I seem to recall having a metal one but not sure what it fits and believe it has a chunk out of it. If the belt is walking I can get some of Ed Wesley's sourgham and slather it on and it will ride on the crown of the pulley then. The biggest reason the a belt will run off a pulley is that it is not properly lined up. If the pulley on the tractor is not lined up with the mill or either pulley is tilted the belt will not run on the crown and will come off. If the belt is the problem I may have an extra one there he could use for the weekend.

I will call Ernie the week before I leave to see what he still needs. He can either run over to my place and meet me or I can go by his place first.
