It's the deere 17...
Had it running, but it stopped abruptly...
Sitting on shelf now...

Deere 17 = PL-4, 59 cc

Abruptly is not good. I have had two examples where the rod cap came loose.

I have a cylinder from one (PL/SL-4) that is good except for a small ding at the top of a transfer port from a loose roller. Another in exact same state from a SL/PL-55.
 
My load of hickory today. Trunk is in the middle bout 22" dbh... I'm in love with the 6220 Deere as well.

Evening gents, had a shower this afternoon, just enough to settle the dust. Still hauling that load of hedge around, might get it unloaded tomorrow if the rain holds off. The old white truck is going to a ford doc for a checkup tomorrow. A buddy has a trailer with a winch and is going to haul it for me.
 
I hope Mr. Liver scored a good load of Pecan this morning...
It's pretty good stuff a year or 2 after you cut it...

No pecan for me today. The guy had some unexpected business to attend to and couldn't meet me. We will try another day. I did get a trailer load of American Elm (I think), with a little bit of ash and some Hedge. If I do get some pecan it will be to sell. I think it brings a good price to those who like to cook with it.
 
Got a story to share. Me and my boys sell firewood on the side, I give them all the money and put it in their savings. They help split and stack; they help moving limbs when I cut and help load/unload the trailer. Yesterday we delivered 1 cord (1/3 to one customer and 2/3 to another). We charge $70 (for 1/3 cord) to deliver and don't stack. The first guy (1/3 cord) had a firewood rack next to his garage so I backed right up to it and we helped him stack it. He tipped the boys $10 for stacking. The boys were pumped. Delivered the 2/3 cord to a neighbor. He wasn't home and his firewood location was hard to get to. I hated to just drop it in the driveway, i forgot to tell him we don't stack. Sam ran home and grabbed a wheelbarrow. We wheelbarrowed all of it off the trailer and out of the bed of my truck,,,,and stacked it! A couple hours later my neighbor called and came by to pay. He counted out $100 to each of my boys and said, "Thanks for stacking"!!!!! The boys were like "Oh Yeah,,,CHA CHING". Maybe I should rethink our "no stack" policy.
 
Mo. Jim, how far are you from St Joe? I need to make a run to the JD dealer tomorrow before noon.
If you need help unloading that load of hedge let me know, I will stop by and give you a hand.

I am in Muskogee. I can find something for you to do if you are in the neighborhood :) Thanks for offering to take care of Jim. Sit down and have a cup of coffee while you are there. I promise a good story or 2 or 3 or you get the idea.
