NorthEast Tennessee Saturday MAC Report
No rest for the weary - bucking and blocking with a 125 in another red Oak. Oct. 2012.
And a white Oak in November 2012. 125 and 800.
No wonder I am feeling so tired lately.
Oak that split on me taking my 125 for a ride. February 2013
Victory in the end.
To Be continued.

I want the FJ60, Wished I had my old FJ40 back.
Any how Lee and I cut at the wood lot all day. It started out cutting in the rain, but quit raining around 10:00 and the rest of the day was cutting in the over cast. Only saws used was the saws from last week, PM6 and PM10-10. The PM6 performed flawlessly, the PM10-10 had a couple issues. First it would oil for a little bit and quit, even the manual oiler would not work. I thought the bar was stopped up. I found out that I would check the oil and it would seam to work for a while and quit again. The vent hole in the oil cap was stopped u. Looked like the cap had melted somehow. Took a small drill bit and a pair of vice grips and made a hole in it. Like I said last week this is a saw I had not had out cutting. I got it, cleaned it up, cleaned the carb, replaced the crank seals and set it on the shelve. While cutting, I noticed that it seamed to want to quit or bog down. I thought after last week I must have gotten something in the carb but seamed to clear after opening the fuel cap. I cleaned it off and sucked through the vent and nothing. I sucked a little harder and it unclogged and started working. So it was a kind of clogged kind of day.
Other than that we cut a lot of wood.

Largest diameter I have felled. Feb 2013
Three maples I was asked to cut due to proximity of the house. March 2013
Rope for insurance.
Not sure if it had a MAC attack or the FZJ80 was too strong.
Man, I miss my 80.
Sorry, I digress again.
To Be Continued another day.

No, I don't have either. I preloaded the top with a 1" nylon rope and all the tug my Land Cruiser would give.

Hey, Brian, did you notice how good my trailer used to look? Something about those tractor drivers and their fork excuses has gotten me to where it is today. Ron
I saw that, but I only took one side out of it. and a fender...HaHaHa...
You missed some good fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, MAC... and cheese and rolls with cookies for desert.

But just think, this gives you the opportunity to create a new and better trailer.

Man I love sundays on the mac thread. Thank you Ron and Brian.
And nice tree Mark

Ive seen what a root rotten oak does to a 1000 gallon propane tank., squash!
My Sunday dose of feeling completely inefficient and inadequate. LOL
Nice tree! How's your saw shelf stocking going?
I have perhaps 75-80 saws in there now including most of the Mini Macs, 300 Series, and 10 Series saws. I have been finding a few more than I remembered and may be able to offer a few up once I get things sorted out.
The chrome wire shelving work well for the smaller saws but is a bit iffy for anything over a 10 Series unless you limit them to 2 per shelf. I am busy now trying to get some 3/4" plywood shelves edge banded and painted so I can get a few more big saws over, you can see the vertical standards going up in the background behind the tree.
I will have enough saws in the building by Wednesday evening to satisfy the casual visitor.

Sounds like you are making great progress.
You have some nice Homelites going on display.
