good morning all.

That pic was of line in my dads trimmer that I put in 3 years ago. Very stiff and leaking fule around there they went thru the tank.

Tygon tubing is ok if you have the correct grade of tubing. Mc Master Carr sells the fuel line type. Use it for my Honda generators extend use tanks for years. It is a clear yellowish color.

Got some troubling news from Ed this morning. The owner of the Mansfield cut site has sold the property. He is going to see if the buyer is willing to let us keep cutting there or not. I hope we can continue, otherwise it's back to looking for another place.

Aren't there a couple mountains of wood there? Or has Ed got them already?

Marc I will post photos of the build but it may not be until the first of next week. Have been using an old horse drawn grader but it has so much play in it I wanted something solid. Thus I am building it heavy so it will dig in better & not bounce around. I may add a screen/piece of expanded metal or fence between the second cutter & the rear screed at a later date to collect larger rocks, grass clumps, & other debris that gets turned up. I want to see how it works first.

Any suggestions on how much lower to mount the cutting edges below the level of the side skids?

I'm not sure on the cutting edge depth. I saw one years ago a farmer was using behind a tractor, he had a couple of road-grader blades for the skids, they were set up sort of like skis. His was set up so the skids bolted onto the sides and they could be unbolted and raised or lowered if needed. It seems like his were pretty close to the cutting edge, maybe an inch or so below the cutters?

I hope the new owner at Mansfield will let you continue. What a shock to hear the place was sold. Doug & I feel bad for you.

Still a mountain of wood there. Going to get as much as we can. Family in Diggens said we could dump it at their place. Which helps, only about 10-15 miles from Mansfield. Closing date on the property is in latter part of June.

Sorry to hear about Mansfield
That place has a lot of wood to cut still
Maybe the new owners will continue the charity

Ranger 7 on evilbay: http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...d13aa9a5e83dd1f688256e43001840eb?OpenDocument a small fellow.

The 'GT7' isn't listed on Acres website.

The Lombard 68 is a runner. But, we are having issues with the chain siezing up or snagging some how on the bar. Maybe we have 7/16" chain on a 1/2" spur/drum.

I knew it was for sale. 2.1 million. I doubt it sold for that, but thought it would stay on the market a lot longer.

Just spoke with Ed. Looks like the LARGE nonprofit organization is going to supply some big trucks and trailers and people to go there and get as much as can be got in 1 day. If they don't get it all, I will be surprised. Its looking good now.

Funny, I have one of them Remy 15" roller nose. I put it on a Pioneer P-41 for giggles. Got a picture of it around here somewhere.

Yep just like that! a New PL 4 would have been beast powerful and light and handy
