I spy an 076 on St. Louis C'list and give a neighbor a heads up. 250 bux and three other saws. Yikes!

How does karma repay me?

Fellow three blocks down brings me a weed wacker to get runnin'.

The best thing to do with a trimmer that's not husky stihl or echo, is simply to hand it back to them n say go buy a new one.

Shop rates should double for trimmers.

You're missing a few others that are okay: Shindaiwa especially, and Robin too. The only problems with the Shindaiwas are the wiring harness that rubs through and the stupid RB-type Zama carbs that echo and Shindaiwa use. Yes, technically Shindaiwa and Echo engines are both made by Kioritz, but I would take a Shindaiwa trimmer over an Echo anyday. Totally different.

I pretty much double my rate for chop saws, but they pretty much take twice the time for about everything.

Helped a guy rescue a saw from a tree tonight. They are clearing trees in the lot behind mine to build the new firehouse. He got his saw stuck for like the tenth time and I would have went over sooner, but I was mowing. Finally went over with a wedge and helped him get his saw free. Brand new 261, also had a 391 and a 460. Ended up unbolting the saw from the bar and chain and drove the wedge in until it separated everything. It definitely would have crushed that saw. Ended up with no damage. He was pretty impressed with the wedge and said he'd get the boss to buy him some. Felt good to be of help. Might even found another project saw too, lol. Guess the boss has an 029 hanging out in the barn that has just been sitting. Gave him my name and number......

I left an old Echo, a Homie XL, a Husky 455, and a Husky 385XP.

I did pick a Super 6-10A.

I'm going to bring my pair of 026s and my 2-stroke toolbox for on-site repairs (hopefully not necessary). I'll also have the wife with me. She won't be running any saws, but is a good observer, lol. I'll also throw in my first aid bag too (once again, hopefully not necessary). I look forward to meeting everyone!

Morning neighbors.

Today is the day I start sorting out the mess in the garage. Stuff will get tossed. I mean, why save a pile of worn out spur/drums or broken recoil housings?

 

[Hinerman]

Morning everybody. Have a good one.

Y'all going to the swap meet if ya find one of these brinley plows please let me know.

Would that happen to be used on a Wheel Horse? There's one across me with a bunch of attachments that includes a plow. Don't know if he'll separate them. Several garden tractors around the meet this year

 

[Homelite410]

The plow is not brand specific. Sleeve hitch I rather universal. Please note how it mounts with one pin on Th c bracket.

Here it is. $100 for all three pieces.

 

[Homelite410]

Shoot that's not right.

 

[sawnami]

Oh well, worth checking out I guess.

BTW the 385 XP is $250. Says it runs great.
