Sweet set up. Does the kill switch work and where's the starter button? LOL:greenchainsaw:

Goodonya Bob! Having the left hand closer to the mill makes sense to me.

Now I'm gonna have to look for some parts...

Yep , the way some guys mill all day spread eagle like they're going to tackle a feral pot belly pig makes my arms and back just thinking about it. The closer you can get that left hand to the log and the more upright you can stand the easier it is.

A quick and dirty way is a cable tie on the regular trigger and left hand on the wrap but that ain't quite as OHS or as fancy looking as an MC throttle!

Well there sure are plenty of old MC throttles out there!

LOL, there are plenty of those in my garage! The killswitch located up on the handlebar beside the remote throttle is a great idea.

I need the steering stem from the bicycle.

Way to go Bob, you are some engineer. Is that your profession, or are you a home grown genius? BTW, Im liking that green grass, wish we had some. Lanny

Just an experimental scientist that has been tinkering in the shed since I was 6 years old. My main hobby is making woodworking tools but lately milling and chainsaw have been all consuming.

I'm not - it grows too quickly meaning I have to cut it again
