Evening fellas.

 

[Homelite410]

Could be a Little interesting tonight.

I wandered to a nearby auction. Anybody know what model the Mac is? The loop of 1/2" chipper doesn't look like it's ever been filed.

The Mac looks like a lg70, as it is the only 10 series gear drive with a decomp. The Id numbers are on a tag under the air filter cover unless removed by previous owner.

Spent the day doing Mothers Day stuff. Any other day it's called the honey due list. Painting the newly installed privacy fence. Looking forward to travelling to Iowa this Friday.

I was going to do so much stuff, and ended up doing next to nothing. But momma (Nancy) and I spent some time together, and Emerson had a decent day. I used my new old Shop smith to fix a piano bench for a friend of hers. Turns out the bench was 60 yrs old. I managed to drill out both ends of the 3/4" dowel attaching a leg to the bench, and replace it. That horizontal drill press is a good thing.

So who all is still around? I have been out of touch so long, has the whole crew been changed out?

Thanks for the info! This is the bottom. Probably right in front of me, but I can't see a number.

Nope, it ain't you - it's me. That's a different design than the ones I've had. The bottom is configured differently entirely. I'm not going to say there isn't a stamped model number on it somewhere, but darned if I can see it. I enlarged the image several times and looked closely but wasn't able to see it. I'm afraid you've exhausted my knowledge of Macs. You may have to talk to an actual Mac guru to figure that one out. I will say it looks good for its age. A lot of times I'll run across them that look good on top but have lots of corrosion on bottom. That's still a sweet saw, no matter what model. You might post pictures in the Mac sticky. Those guys probably will recognize it first thing.

Just so we all are clear:
Oliver1655 is picking up the Strunk Friday and dragging it off to Homelite410..................................................I think...........................
I did rinse the fuel tank, honest. Still smells.

Meeting with Workshop is canceled untill next oppertunity. If we get to go to Branson this summer, Blondie is in for a stop in Nixa.

Teacherman lives about 25 minutes from me he hosted the 1st GTG that I attended and the cad bug was rampant.

Quality tools make all the difference in the world. Good morning and welcome aboard (again). I don't know how many of the original crew are still around, some of us from Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri sort of took over when Steve (Workshop) started his Charity Cut madness.

Worth the trip. Steve and family are good people.

Not the whole crew some have dropped off some added but the crazy train is still rolling.

Our neighborhood went thru a spate of re-roofing a couple years ago. I had to buy a tire plug kit and then a refill on the plugs as both I and the neighbors had so many flats from roofing nails. Got so good at pluggin' tires all I would do is jack it up, plug it and refill the air. Like a Nascar pit stop.

Check in Jim! What's up?

I think Kenneth and I are going to have to kidnap Carl to get him to a GTG or a charity cut. He can call Blondie the next day and tell her not to pay the ransome, that he escaped.

 

[Oliver1655]

Carl is welcome to ride up with me to Waukee this Friday.
