Iowa Spring GTG II

[arborealbuffoon]

treeman - you need to team up with Struggle and Tallguy, they are from that area and are likely planning to come.

Travel across on 20 and see me in Dike before heading down Hwy 21 to Chelsea.

Treeman75....I would heed this invitation if I were you. Never been there personally, but I have it from reliable sources that the National Organization for the Preservation of Yellow Saws has their corporate headquarters there in Dike.......complete with a veritable McCulloch Museum....

 

[TALLGUY]

If we get a few more Sioux city members we can get a tour bus. Or a GTG closer to Sux. Supose the bus driver would wonder about loading the lugage area with saws?

Tallguy...glad to hear from ya. Hoped you didn't get killed in a giant avalanche of old Homeheavies. Which brings me to my comment....the bus driver WILL be mad once he tries to load up ur pile of Huge Homies....

I have been there a number of times, and it truly a place of wonder. I don't know of a more personable and helpful guy than Mark. He also knows all things Mac and a lot of other things also. This is one place not to miss. Won't be long before bus tours will stop there. JR

Mark, if it works out that I will be able to make it, I would like to try to leave early Friday and stop by then, if your going to be around.

I will make a point to be at home on Friday in case anyone wants to drop by.

I just bought a new computer and this is a perfect time to check out if I can send a photo or two. This is the 75 Dodge. I hope. JRView attachment 280978View attachment 280979View attachment 280978View attachment 2

2171?

I runs on the bench. It currently doesn't run anything but temper. I replaced the top end and it won't run. Crank seals are fine. I'll just save cash and send it off. Not because I'm not capable of fixing it, I'm just so annoyed with it I can't concentrate on it.

You mean that you are not pulling on that starter rope anymore? I figured by now your arm would be as big as my leg and you know how big I am. :msp_tongue: I remember you pulling on that rope at my house and I got really tired just watching! lol!!!

I would think we could work something out for getting us all there.

We finally had some time to collect some of the logs that Mike, Shaun, and Alex cut down for the GTG. Got most of them pulled out where they will be easy to lift with the tractor, and Dad got a few over to the cut site. Mark dropped 3 more big oaks and it looks like we should have plenty of wood to cut. Included a few pics.

Haha yeah It winded me. Good news is I finally took the time studied up and ported that 340 and its a night and day difference. You'd be impressed I have a thread with a couple videos. Going to use an 023 for the build off. The eager beaver is a reed valve so I've tried some things on it that may surprise a few. But yeah tax return comes in I'm sending the 2171 out. Just a stock rebuild and I'll take it from there. If all goes as planned and the snow doesn't stop me again this week I'll be up your way.

Get Mitch a carb and see if your brother is around. Kinda have a soft spot for these dang Beavers. Here's one video but if you type Ported Husqvarna 340 there will be a thread and there's another video on the last page. Chains Sharp as all my chains are its just a dead log that's hard as concrete.

Thanks, bud, we will keep trying to get more trees up to the site as weather and time allow. I have my eye on a good size Cottonwood that I am going to try and get for the GTG. Thought it would be good to have a little softwood to cut----everything we have so far is hardwood. We have a lot of Oak and some Elm and maybe some Hickory as of now.

Hardwood seperates the men from the boys when it comes to power and chains. Soft wood is for those who have a BIG bar on a little saw.. Right Edwin....


Bwahahahahahahaha
