We need to turn Kenneth on to running the real ax man saws................................A ride with 'Fat Alice' is in order.

On a sad note: The ACE hardware John Deere green rattle can paint isn't fuel proof. &%$@#@()&^..........................*&^$%*)(%$#@ m.f.rs.

Carl, I painted some suitcase weights a week ago with $10 a can of genuine John Deere green from the John Deere store. I'll pour some gas on one tomorrow and see what happens.

What, you thought maybe 'Fat Alice' was something other than a chainsaw?


Jim: Makin' a run down your way tomorrow in the a.m.. See what a loop for the 655 will cost and some real chain for the J.D.-15.

Allen and I ran the big Poulan today and it had trouble with the sweet gum. Got his granpa's P-20 going.
Carl I won't be home in the am, I have to take my sister to Cameron. What chain are you running on the 655?

Jim:
I'll hold off till one p.m. or so. Bring grandson with me. We have the two grandkids the rest of the week as Sarah and Mike are in Wash. D.C.

IDK what chain is on the 655. Looks like chipper at 60-80 %. Depth is .025" per my guage but not making big chips like a new loop does.

sawnami:
Our local Tractor Supply discontinued carrying Valspar Tractor & Impliment. I know it is fuel proof but the rest of the stuff found locally is a crap shoot. I used 'Magic' on 'Fat Alice' and it holds up fine.

sounds like you need a file not a new chain.
 
Gads, man! What would you do with it? I'm not sure you could even pick it up without injury.
Notice the weight is not listed. It must be measured in "stone," as in "four stone," or 54 lbs.

My hat is off the men who used to run saws like that day in and day out to earn a living, feed the family and build the nation. I'm not sure I could run one for a full day - they ran them EVERY day.

Morning all! Cool and rainy in the Ozarks this morning.

Carl, sprayed premix in the deer emblem inset in one of the suitcase weights and let it sit for 1/2hr. Wiped it out and no effect on the paint whatsoever. Looks like good stuff. :)

Thanks for the info.

I'm takin' the extra can back to Ace since I still have the sales slip. And, off to the local Deere dealer to see about the air filter lid sticker and the sign shop for the clutch cover number.
 
First step in removing the engine on a Stingray ------------------------------------Remove the rear bumper. Makes sense huh? :)

Let's see, if I can sell the bucking stand off the log bucking trailer while I am in Iowa, I could swing by Carl's on the way back & as a favor to him, :rolleyes: I'm sure I could figure out a way to load that Stingray up on the trailer to get it out of his way. I mean he obviously needs more room for his saws. ;)
