Lots of good work in that trailer. I like the removable tongue
Should keep the shins less painful

Hedge nailed it. Once the center 2 log supports are in place the last cut will be between them.

There will be stairs on both ends of the walk way. They will be set on the walkway under the leaning railing for transport.

Nice trailer now u need A conveyor and this at the end of it.

I wanna try this one out!

I have a conveyor I can put at the end of the splitter but will not be using it here at home. I have been picking up pallets & shipping crates to stack the splits in for easy moving. They will have 3 slatted sides so I can just toss the splits in to loosely stacked rows. I will then scatter them around the edge of our field to catch the sun & wind. This fall I will line them up to cover. My hope is to have all the fire wood on pallets or in wood sheds over the next 2 years. (I'm 3 years ahead but I am not going to worry about palletizing the seasoned wood, just the new splits. I have too many irons in the fire.)

Now if I need to load a trailer from the splitter, then the conveyor is mighty handy.

How do you get the crankshaft bearings off the crank on a ms390?

Should be able to tap a screwdriver between the crank and inner race of the bearing..
The ones I've done came right off...

 

[workshop]

Studied some stuff on you tube about taking them off. They used a small amount of heat and it popped right off. I've got a feeling this one has spun the inner race on the crank. I'd better start looking for another crank assembly. Anybody got a good used assembly? Cheap?

I've always used a 2 jaw puller and they always come right off. I might have a couple good cranks laying around here I'll check in the morning.

Quick and dirty method: Get a BFH and a sharp medium large chizel. Have someone (I'd use my son-in-law in case I missed) with gloves on hold the crank so the outside of the brearing rests on a substantial chunk of steed. Hit the chizel with your hammer and break the ouiter race off. Wear personal protection gear because when the hard steel shatters it flys everywhere. Do same with the inner race.

Don't miss and hit the helper or the crank.

This was S.O.P. for getting rear wheel bearings off an axel at our house when I was young. Guess who held the axel. Wasn't my dad.

Long day hauling chainsaws.

Went as far as Grandview and met a fellow who wanted the Homie C-91. Got rid of that albatros, never could get it to run. Left Blondie there at her G.F. and continued on to Harrisonville. Picked up the Poulan 4200 from Travis. Left him a stuck Homie 360 carcass to fool with. Back to Grandview, picked up Blondie and then went back up 435 to 87th st. Sold a Homie XL-101 to a young fellow in the parking lot of the Caterpiller dealer. Continued back north the Ameristar casino so Blondie could play slots for a bit. From there to Liberty for supper at the Corner Cafe. Great place to eat. Finally back home.

Whew!

Box up the Poulan and send it to Indiana on Monday.

I have a 039 parts saw that should have a good crank. If it will work let me know and it's yours.

 

[workshop]

029, 290, 310, 039, 390 all take the same crank assembly, from what I understand.
