you campin' on the beach at the Winchuck?
Is that allowed?(I looked on the map it's a park) I stayed over at Huntley park on the Rouge for a day or so last month, stayed at some other sites too, bunch of mud holes besides Huntley park. I did want to pitch my tent on the sand, but things are pretty strict.
On my last morning out, I got in trouble with the park dude for peeing in the bushes behind my tent & not going to the big #### house. He was a gung ho little bastard, I did not have very much to say to him. . .
Marina Heights loop, few miles north of the state line. .

Not to hijack this thread, but I would love to hear more about your Stearman.
Growing up, my next door neighbor had two, one as a duster and the other as a sprayer. I loved to watch him hand crank them. And the sound of a radial - nothing like else like it. Ron

Fine with me, so long as he doesn't block too much of the radiator airflow.
Eh, how about the rear? I need to do the hub thing to the trailer or grab a little uhaul, that is what I usually do. Having a lockable, covered trailer is good.
Oh cool, I'l have some gas money too. It all depends on the move though, I ain't there yet haha, pose to close this month so. .

We can certainly use a third guy to further split the cost of diesel for the trip. Might get a bit tight for space. Having a trailer would help that. I'll have the shell (which locks) on the truck. We can pack a lotta crap in there if needed. You fellers will have to sort out who rides in the back seat. It's an extended cab 1986 F250 4X4. Not too comfy in back. Little leg room...
I'm not picky, and I don't have much to bring, 795, super 797 and my 660 is probably what I would take along if that is not too much. The rest of my saws are in pieces or are in need of repair in some way or another. Both macs are low on comp, maybe I can find some parts there.
Again, it all depends on the schedule, but I would like to make it.

That will work. A few saws, saw gas, bar oil, some tools, camping gear, some clothes, and a cooler full of beer and some food. That oughta do it. I'll be bringing 3-5 saws to run, plus a couple to trade. Will be adding at least one more saw to the load while at Bob's...
Hey Sawbones, what is that fine looking muffler in the box in front of the saw to the right?

looks like a 125 maybe. Now what about those dandy 55's?
what ya bringing to trade ? :cool2:
If I recall correctly, there was a S55 or maybe S55A in this lot that someone had converted to a direct drive saw. I have a spare gear box on a 55 that will never run again so all the parts are there, I just have to put them together some day when I have time...

Dangit. There was three things I was counting on:
1)That was a muffler I could use on my McCulloch 790.
2)Ric was gonna bring it to the GTG (was going to ask him to do so in a PM).
3)You weren't gonna see said box muffler in Ric's pic. I saw it as soon as he posted. Can't get much past the eagle eyes of McMark! I'd hoped you would be too distracted by the 55's:jester:

Don't know for sure yet Ric. I'm probably going to bring:
1)A dirty but complete AH58 powered Mono/Montgomery Wards WD60 with a 24 or 25" roller nose and a good loop of 7/16" chain,
2)A crusty little Frontier made Skil 944 Type-1 top handle,
3)A complete running McCulloch 200,
4)A 'rebuilder' Husky 257 (not sure if it's going yet),
and who knows what else. Nothing earth shattering. Much of my 'extra' saws and parts have already been shipped away (or are spoken for).
Hopefuly, I won't have to bring the trade saws back home, as I know I'll have at least two more saws in the truck on the way back. Then there's whatever Randy and possibly 056Kid will be bringing up and back...
I'll be looking for the 9-Series Homelite and 1130G parts listed in my sig, plus a set of spikes for a McCulloch 650/660. I'll be looking for longer B/C's (36-48") for both my 1130G and Mac 650 as well.

I am pretty sure the same spike bar that fits the big gear drive saws fits the 650/660 gear drives, just mounts in a different place, On the other big gear drives it mounts to the front of the gear box, on the 650/660 it mounts to the front of the fuel tank.

It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a muffler for a 790. I don't know why McCulloch made the SP-125 mufflers different from every other engine they had, even the CP-125.
The good thing about it though is that all the kart mufflers will fit the 790/795/890/895s and all of those earlier saws.
