Hey Matt, can you cut off the suction and let the pump just spin while the engine warms up?

Possibly, but would rather remove the pump load all together..

Open center valve. Therefore pump output returns to tank and not over pressure relief valve.

 

[awol]

It's already open center, just moving the oil when it's zero degrees is more than the electric starter can handle. Johns old blue splitter has the forementioned valve in pump supply line, and it seems to work.

 

[Hedgerow]

The starters on these things leave a bit to be desired...
At least mine does...

Air starter should work . My splitter looses the belt on cold start if needed with an ideler pulley .

I am trying to work it out to come up to Springfield this Friday /Saturday, and slip logs. This would allow efficiency of the sawing operation. This would also allow us a tractor the next week, if it doesn't die. LOL

This could work. I have to work Friday and am on call Saturday. On call doesn't mean I have to be AT work, just have to stay within 30 minutes of the building I work at. But if I get a call or alarm I have to scoot fast and may be gone 1 or 2 hours or 8 hours. 99% of the time it's just a quick trip, but that 1% will bite once in a while. Fortunately Springfield is not that big. Let me know what you want to do Dan.

Been fighting a backpack blower. It's about to win I think, lol. Been a typical Monday. My buddy said he's got ten chains from various people to drop off. What's the going rate around you guys? I just hand file, but apparently everybody likes the way I file, lol. I figured $5 for 20" and smaller and $7.50 for larger. That sound fair?

yup.. I won't even turn my grinder on for less than five dollars.

 

[workshop]

It appears price hasn't gone up much since the last time I paid to have a chain sharpened. About $3, 35 years ago.
