They seem to run in spurts for me also. I still am on the lookout for a 6900 and a 7700. I don’t think I’ve ever seen either one in person.

What does a wood permit allow you to do?
Green lust , all the ground in this area is farm ground that is flat, when you get into the foothills and mountains it is a national forest. To get any wood you are required to get a firewood permit. The permit is for 4 cords of wood and the cost is 25.00 . That is the minimum amount of wood. You can get your permit in 1/4 cord cards and that is what I usually do but I will get a few in half cord if several of us are going to cut. I take my 750 King quad and my 4x5 foot trailer to haul it back to the big trailer. I'm about 20 miles from home to the cutting area.

Todd, your planning and execution are very strategic and well thought out. I can only imagine the time, effort, and energy spent on making this happen time after time, year after year. Great job, well done! Max.
I’ve never heard of that. I guess you have to cut trees that have already fallen or are diseased. That looks like hard work. It probably makes good memories with family or friends though.

Yes you are welcome to come cut with me, you guessed it on standing dead or dead on the ground. No cutting within 100 yards of a creek, lake, river or where running water might be if it rained hard and that is where the runoff would go. Have to have a standard shovel and fire extinguisher with in arms reach when cutting. Must have an approved spark arrestor in the saw. Sounds like fun don't you think.
I always like to go with at least 3 saws. Been doing it for about 55 years. Life on public forest land.
You can take your ATV 300 feet off the trail to get the wood

Yeah i tried it and no go. I killed the clutch getting it off so i am looking for a good used one. I got a replacement oem spur from my dealer.
I have a bunch of clutches used to spare.
But I only take Paypal friends family way or USPS money order or even cash if local pick up. Shipping on buyers dime too. Many can vouch for me.
Just pics of some of the past sold clutches etc.
Going to send you a link. Easier then me messing with one for same cost.
That’s great to have cheap cutting access that close Todd, do you burn a full 4 cords a year?
I average only 2-1/2 cords of oak through a normal winter, a catalyst wood stove makes a big difference in wood consumption.
I only burn it in my fire pit. Many years ago I was heating only with wood,then a natural gas line was ran in front of the house. My neighbors on each side of me and I talked to the gas company and was told that they would extend the line for a thousand dollars and give us 200 rebate for a furnace and 100 for a water heater and a 100 for a gas clothes dryer. Next day I got a new furnace and water heater.
Burning wood 24/7 is a lot of work. That was in 1993, i cut about 6 cords every summer. Back then it was free to cut.

If ya heat with wood a gym membership is no longer necessary
That is a true story

I am in need of crankshaft seals for two Poulan 5400 saws...ordered them from Red Dog Supply but they came back and said they were on backorder and cancelled my order.
Does anyone know where I might find at least 4 pieces at a reasonable price. From Aarons old list I gather the PN is 530019075.

Still cool to see. Thanks.
Here is what I have saved from that list.
@Todd Loosli would be the one to ask what he just used being he does these it seems all the time anymore.
Poulan 4200-8500 Series:
Both sides 530019075. Back ordered with no ETA. SKF 6904. National 471466.
Mark pm me and I will get you some seals, oil pump also have a seal in it. Glad to help
I'm out of them, sorry
There are some errors on that list.
Here's what you need
Poulan 4200-8510
F/W & PTO seal: 530019075.
Shaft size is .669" or 17mm
Pocket size is 1.125" or 28.5 mm
OEM width size is 4.85 mm or .20"
Dichtomatik Americas 17X28.5X6TC Measured and there is enough room for 6mm width
I had the dichtomatik and I used them all, thought they were in the boxes but I kept the empty box for the parts number. Guess I will order more i hope. They seem to work good on the saws i have done in the last few years.
The oil pump seal is.687x.875x.093. Don't know what is out there that will work.

I just found the new info I saved last year to go right with Tim's.
You said =
Todd Loosli
This is the seal that has the best fit for the poulan 5200 style,both sides are the same.
Dichtomatik TMC 17x28.5x6TC-BX I get them from Fastenal.
