Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[rarefish383]

Good job done. Hopefully it pays working that close to valuable things. I always seem to get the free firewood right next to the house offers. I don't take them up on it.

I worked off and on in the family Tree Business for over 40 years. I have a few tricks up my sleeves. This is a freebee for an old friend. He has pancreatic cancer and may not be around much longer.

Many of my friend's and i aren't on social media. Personally, i have very few uses for it. I do hear about pretty good deals on FB marketplace from time to time, but i've also heard about enough stupid stuff to still avoid it.

Wife loves the MS180CBE. The easy start is perfect for her.

Hoping she gets some cuts in today while helping clear a trail to the red oak I just bucked up. The 461 with 28” bar is a beast! Pics to come shortly.

Sounds perfect! Nice when you can help someone who truly appreciates it.

How does the 461 with the 28 compare to the 660 with the 25. Not that I would go get one. It just seems if you keep it in its range, it’ll run with the 660. I love my 660, made 4 cuts with it today and finished up with the 29o and 170.

My 395 is a monster with a 20" Any longer & it starts to be nose heavy. I have a 32" for it but only use that when I actually need it. Let us/me know if you start looking into husky saws.

As is my 066. The bar that's on it now is a 32" .404. You can cut some pretty ugly stuff with Oregon .404 semi chisel chain.

I’ve only run an 066 with a 36” bar. I haven’t had the pleasure of running a 660/661 yet. The 461 with this 28” seems faster than the 066 I ran with a 36”. But, not a fair comparison as the 066 was cutting some Japanese Elm, and the 461 was in red oak today, some of which was pretty punky.

I have my Grandpa’s old Husky. Hasn’t run in 15 years I bet. I think it’s a 245?? Or 285?? It’s not a huge saw, I think it has an 18” bar on it. I saved it after he passed to hopefully get it running again one day. It’s a basket case, had old gas sitting in it for years. Probably needs all new fuel lines, and then I tired to take the bar off the brake mechanism came apart as I took the side cover off.

I told my local Stihl/Husky dealer that I’d bring it to him to fix. I should have taken it yesterday. I’ll to get some pics of it later today.

Well, I got about two trailer loads bucked up of this red oak. Started getting to punky, so I’m gonna get the rest of it on the ground for the critters in the woods to use as a home. Kind of hairy cutting, as it’s on a hill. I ran into the former land owners best friend, and asked how long this oak and been down. He guessed at least 10 years.

I had a helper, the farm dag. She’s a keeper (will be a year old at the end of the month).

Pretty pup. That’s how I like my Oak, already on the ground.

Bummer man!

Family time is best time.

I’m hoping to be out in the woods here shortly with the Mrs to make a trail down to this oak. Most of the chunks rolled down the hill. Way to heavy to pick up, so I’m gonna drag the splitter down there, after I get the trail blazed.

Total, 4 hours by two old fat guys.

Ran the 262 with a nice juicy chain I filed up.

Thank you

11 year old lab pit mix. Such a fun,playful, loving dog[emoji4].

And that is maple that has been cut down a few months. I usually leave the tops lay for a while to dry like that.

Hard to believe they built a house in a known flood area

Back in hte mid 70s some nut built a big expensive house on top of a landfill that had been decomissioned just a few years before. Could not move in due to gases. House was never lived in and stood there for years.

As the old saying goes. Ignorance can be cured, stupidity is forever.

Sweet. My Huskys double as commie killers.

Wow.

That worse than my dads neighbor. A DNR officer of ALL PEOPLE purchased a theiving swamp land and FILLED IT IN WITH DIRT[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35] to build his house on....!

This is so extremely irresponsible in my eyes! Michigan swamps are EXTREMELY valuable to the ecosystem. And the ass hat covers it with dirt to build a log cabin style home[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

What a tool.

The 20 acres that we bought is full of swamp and wetland but also thriving with life! The water is a pain in the butt to deal with but being around it is so nice! Cant believe that guy!!

Well, I was off on the model number of Gramp’s ole Husky. It’s a 254. And, it’s not in as bad as shape as I thought. Looks like an 18” bar. Need to check on what chain that is (3/8??)

The chain brake mechanism is jacked up, so I can’t get the cover back on. I just took it apart and I don’t think Gramps every cleaned this thing. I unclogged everything, and it all seems to be in good working order, but I need to find a diagram on this thing so I can make sure it’s put back together right.

I’m also gonna see it I can fire it up. Has a champion plug, what do you all recommend? I run NGKs in my Stihls. Don’t mind my messy work bench. It’s a catch all right now...
