Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[wudpirat]

Dolmar sexier than a Makita? It's all cosmetic, just different color plastic, parts are interchanable except the 6421, it's decomp is on the other side.
Parts? Bailley's has some, Chainsawr, couple other guys. Do a search on Google, they're out there.
Download an IPL from Bailley's to get the part numbers and Google. Edge & Engine ? can't load the parts list.
A new filter runs about $15 +s&h.
Enjoy your new? saw, The chips will fly with a sharp chain and it's pretty good at noodleing.
My 6401 is wearing a 16" bar and a Stilh RS chain and it's BAD.

It just looks badder. Makita looks like a toy/fake. May just be because I'm not too crazy about blue. Reminds me of the Navy and bell bottoms. Thumbs down.

Only thing about Baileys is it doesn't seem set up for chainsaw idiots like myself. I need something where I enter my chainsaw model in and it spits out everything that will fit on my saw. Nice and simple. Or I guess an IPL solves that issue.

I really want to try noodling. Keep hearing a lot about it but haven't had a chance to do it as of yet.

Short little bar on your 6401.

 

[Ambull01]

Never mind, there is a place to enter my chainsaw make and model. I love Baileys

May just be because I'm crazy about blue. Reminds me of the Navy and how awesome those guys are. Two thumbs up.

I fixed that for you.

 

[Ambull01]

I fixed that for you.

Woops, are you a former bell bottom wearer?

 

[SteveSS]

Ayyup. Now

 

[Ambull01]

Ayyup. Now

Oh well, everyone can't be a member of "The Few, the Proud." Dad, grandfather, and great grand father all served in the Navy. Wanted to do something different.

 

[SteveSS]

Nothing wrong with that. Everyone in my family has been squids too. Somebody has to carry you guys all across the globe.

Well I was waiting for that joke lol. Probably should have joined the Navy, may have actually seen more of the world instead of being sent right back to Hawaii.

 

[SteveSS]

My detailer teased me with a tour in HI once and then decided to send me to sea duty in Norfolk. He thought that was mighty funny. I never quite saw the humor. LOL

 

[SteveSS]

I taught a few MAGS guys when I was teaching DS "A" school in Mare Island. I don't know where those guys ever ended up.

 

[Ambull01]

Norfolk doesn't seem too bad. Not as great as HI though I guess lol.

Never heard of MAGS.

 

[SteveSS]

They were aviation support guys, back in '89. They went through our initial training to be computer geeks and then learned our primary supply side computer system. Probably called something completely different now a days. You know how military acronyms change.

 

[Ambull01]

I see, makes sense. Marine Aviation Something Something. I was never around the Marine aviation folks except for a short little spy rig ride, now that was fun. I was surrounded by squids on Pearl Harbor.

Ambull, might want to take a close look at that trailer. $600 is a great price but might be just what's it's worth. Likely needs new brakes and new tires at the least, that will add up quick. I own about 20 trailers and it feels like I'm replacing tires, lights and brakes every few weeks on one or another of them. And flat tires drive me nuts. New dump trailers tires were almost $1000 after taxes and installation.

 

[Ambull01]

Quick question for all you pro/experienced scroungers. May have mentioned everyone and their brother's trying to sell wood near me right now. Normally I see CL scrounges but that has just about completely dried up. I'm guessing this is normal right? Seems like scrounging months are before it gets cold when everyone forgets there will be a winter coming.

20 trailers? WTH! $1k for some tires? Oh hell no.

I'll inspect every inch of it. Seems like trailers should be cheaper, doesn't seem to be much to them.

Body is too sore for bush work and it gets dark too early some nights so tonight banged another 10 skids together. My son is fixing somebody's gator.

 

[cantoo]

Ambull, yup 20 trailers. I blame my wife, she is weak and never says no to me.
Tires and rims on this dump was $1000, brakes were $400. There is 8 trailers in this one pic. And yes that is a row of machinery on my fenceline.

55° today so I shut down the furnace earlier today and gave it a quick clean because it's gonna drop off to 18° by tomorrow night.
The mild temps that we're having are hard to keep creosote from forming .
