What type of tree's do you guys have down there? punt (piss) oaks? or what? I'm from south of Wichita KS and its about 3 hours to tulsa from my house. I wouldn't mind driving down to have some fun, but it wouldn't be "for the wood" lol

Where are you at? I've not seen you post in here before, unless you're running a new tag that I'm unfamiliar with,...

Have to have Tammi's bike ready to leave Friday for a rally that we're going to in Mena AR:msp_mad: Parts will be here Thursday. No pressure.

Water pump went out. Just replace mine 3 weeks ago. Going to replace the junk rear brake rotor while I'm at it. Found a good used one on eBay. A new one is $261:msp_ohmy: A lot of money for a flat piece of steel with a few holes in it.

I've come the conclusion that the Germans couldn't make a dependable bike if their life depended on it. Maybe they are concentrating all of their efforts on saws.:hmm3grin2orange:

Wish I had time to work on a saw.

Dang Steve! I've not heard of many people having problems with a BMW bike,... Is that a F650GS or the 800 model? I still want a BMW bike, but I want the classic opposed twin that runs forever (as long as you maintain proper valve lash...) Something like either a R(1150 or 1200)R or a GS version... I do like the picture of, (if I'm not mistaken) the B-25 Mitchell nose/gun in you profile photo...:msp_thumbup:

 

[Locust Cutter]

Most of the trees requiring trimming are Piss (Siberian) Elms. There are 2 Mulberrys that are coming out and I think 1 Hackle berry that need attention as well.

It's a F650GS. If you like large displacement bikes, the Yamaha Super Tenere' is the bike of choice right now. I want something that I can pick up when (not if) I drop it off road. Early last year I would have been stuck up to the bash plate in Dan's spring branch if I'd had a heavier bike.:msp_unsure: Spent a little seat time on a R1200GS a few weeks ago. That boxer engine is different. It torque leans to the right when you rev it up. Kinda like your 35A.:msp_tongue:

Yep, that IS the business end of a B-25. Good eye!:msp_thumbup:

There goes Locust, interfereing with the entertainment. To keep it fair, I invited her to Freehand's mountain for an introductory cut.


Somehow I'm almost out of 115 dl chains, any saw shops around?

I like full skip

Dayton

Bought a Dayton 2Z463 (Poulan 245SA) today. Do you guys think it should take a road trip to the GTG?

Anything that fits takes a road trip to the GTG...
And some that don't!!

Ahh,... Is she a spammer then? IMy brain is not functioning right now,... Dan, what length does 115dl add up to? Also which pitch/gauge? I may have a few that are close...

Had a few setbacks today.

The tractor blew a cylinder attempting to pick up a measly 5000 (guessing) log.

Then 3 or 4 saws went south.

Things were so bad I had to get out the 441........ Didn't run quite up to snuff, although I didn't adjust the idle.

My fav o34 wont hold a handle screw....


My 372 melted off the kick back handle

The 757 only has one dog, won't cut very well.

The 357 is dull

The other 034s won't start

Can't get the sprocket off the bucket truck

The ....... I'm too old to remember everything

Went to cut off about 6 stumps at the ground and finished off every chain in the arsenal.

We did borrow an oregon sharpener, so we can sharpen 2 chains an hour......

So 12 hours from now we'll be back sharp.....

I like those, if it is taking up to much room in your shop let me know. Lurch2 really likes them too.

Dang Dan,... That's about the opposite of my day yesterday (until the end:censored. I took some time off work to catch up on projects around the house. Got to play with the babies, clean up the barn and yard, take them out fo a pizza lunch and then played at the park. It was a GREAT day, until someone ran over one of my dogs and killed him. I've now lost 4 dogs in less than a year and we're down to one now,...:taped:

Happy the 441 is getting put to work, not happy about the problems I have weeks like that everything I touch brakes.

I'll check and see if it's in the way.

So what yer sayin', is I need to spend the better part of the 18th making some saws serviceable???
:msp_wink:
Just don't turn me loose with an air conditioner...
That's Steve's job...

That should be a 36" bar, 3/8"...

I can't remember if he runs 50 or 63.

 

[Hedgerow]

I can't remember if he runs 50 or 63.

Most of the 36+ bars run .063...
But not all...

 

[Locust Cutter]

Dan,
I have the old 36" bar and 4-5x chains (full-comp though) for my old 660 that are just collecting dust in the barn right now, as I don't have anything to bolt it up to, with the nuts to pull it... The 372 might, but I don't want to buy a spacer to do it,...
