Pacific Northwest GTG (June 12-15, 2015)

Going Green

Success found the vented cap that fits the 372xpw. Cured the vent issue easier than tearing the saw apart. Made several 36" cuts all symptoms are gone a plus from going to the get together and getting info from attendees.

Like the funky green

That would be GREAT! just think.....Wild Things all over the world and yet the two hottest ones are right here in the PNW. I have tears of pride welling up!

IIRC that was a 77. Was there last year (and not running at the time). Wasn't at the GTG this year. Can't remember who owns it. Maybe Nate or Terry...

It's mine. I need to rebuild the carb; it starts on a prime. I also have a 36" hardnose bar I need to pick up a loop of chain for. I think the sprocket is 1/2", or at least I hope so, since I don't relish the thought of hunting down a loop of 9/16" all that much.

The 77 I had ran 5/8" pitch. Luckily it had a good loop.

I got two 62dl chains of what i think is 1/2 if you need.

Nate, you are covered no matter what route you go. Chain or sprocket. What guage is the bar?

 

[torinocobra]

Friday night campfire.

I didn't get many photos.

Guess I'll have to go check. Probably .063"

 

[wyk]

Good to see y'all had a great time. Wish I were there.

 

[sawfun]

Yes, I know Nate and I wished you could have been there. Maybe some day buddy.

One of the better ones. Is that Don? Y'all got a vid of that bad boy chugging wood?

 

[torinocobra]

Yep, that's Don. The saw is Frasers and it didn't run. It needs new diaphragms in the Mac flat back.

 

[Eccentric]

If I'd gotten off my lazy butt we could have had it running. I had a spare HL63 in the truck. Put it there especially for Fraser's Mac...

 

[wyk]

You were too busy having fun and drink-sawing.

 

[Eccentric]

That's the truth.

 

[BGE541]

When is the 2015 GTG?

 

[Eccentric]

Good question. Gotta get time off work to attend...

 

[Farley9n]

2015 Pacific Northwest GTG.......June 12th to 15th and beyond as needed. Yep, here we go again! Not sure how many this will make but if you have ever wondered or thought about making one, how about this year? We do racing, carving, the old giants, big and small wood, swap meet, climbing, ax throwing, and even a little bit of eating/drinking/talking dirty. AND there is always the Famous WILDTHING racing! ......Watch this spot for more as the time gets closer.....

 

[BGE541]

1. Location? I would like to attend
2. Rules for Wild Thing racing (specs, build rules etc.)

Thanks
