Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[sean donato]

Hey guys, got my switch in. Worked out great. I swapped the grounding terminal over from a spare switch. Was real easy to pop apart.

Old switch left. New right.

After swapping the terminals.

New switch installed in the old 394xp
Thanks for the tip guys! I'll add that this is a mod free swap for a 390xp as well.

Thanks, folks! Grateful to the good Lord for yet another year in the books and the start to a new one! Keep on scrounging on!

Every year's a blessing. My old man thought he had indigestion last week, instead he's having a bypass op this morning. Visited him last night in hospital and could tell he was scared of what's coming. Just that anxiety about the op probably brought on the attacks overnight that bumped him up the priority list and into this mornings op schedule. I used to think he was invincible. He's never been to a hospital since the day he came out of one as a new born 75 years ago. Getting his money's worth now ;-)

The ones I'm familiar with just keep running. It wasn't real fast, but to be honest I didn't think it was all that bad either. The 325 chain can make a big difference in very hard/frozen wood, sometimes the working corner of a 3/8 chain will not grab well, so it runs just as fast with less power. In many conditions a properly chosen and tuned chain can make a huge difference, for general cutting a generically sharpened chain will get the job done just fine.
No problem, I just hope I can find your chain down there; but you may come out ahead if I can't, that chain was tore up worse than most I've seen .

If you cant find it let me know what you have. Ill buy another from ya if possible.

Here's hoping it all goes well!

Awesome!!! OK, I must be daft. How did you pop the switches apart? I'd love to swap my bottom terminal from the OG switch into the T540 one.

Just stuck a very small flathead in the narrow side of the switch, in between the white/red and gray part and gave it a gentle pry up. Came right out. The new switch is the same, just need to pop the spring cover off and remove the spring first. That little hump in between the two post is the spring cover. Same as the main cover to take off. Very small flat head gently pop it out. The terminals are made the same, slide the old post out and slide it into the new housing.

That's a nice drop compared to the last couple, you guys may need to break out some jackets, kinda like the guys wearing shorts after winter(sometimes during) when the temps hit 30-40 lol.
They changed our forecast, Monday was supposed to be mid 70s, not they are saying mod 80s , and not until wed for the mid 70s.
I know one thing for sure, I'm not moving too fast out there.
I like to mow after it rains, keeps the dust down, but if yours is as tall as it was before that may not be an option.
Did this one to help out a friend a couple weeks ago, forgive me if I posted these here already, I thought I posted them in the good morning thread.
No raking!

How much for the suburban? Is that 4wd?

 

[H-Ranch]

Load 3. It's a little warm to do too much. We'll see if I can get another one in tonight before dark.

Prayers and well wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

Numbers 4 and 5. Hard to see where I've made a dent in the pile.

Now that I hand file all but the most badly rocked chains, I really like to use the Timber jack to keep things out of the dirt.

That’s a good looking model.

And American Made!

Yeah, I picked up one a couple of years ago. They are quite nice to have and do work exceptionally well. You can also use it as a log roller with meh results, but better than nothing.

And American Made!

YES, OUTSTANDING!!!
