Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[LondonNeil]

Glad your back!

Actually these trees are tiny lol. They looked bigger from my deck.

 

[Ambull01]

Sorry about all the pics. So looking at all the trees up close, I don’t believe I have anything to fear as far as something hitting the house.
There’s one tree that’s kinda leaning towards the fence, that’s the only one I’m concerned about. I think I’ll try to cut it off in pieces from high up or see if I can get a rope on it.
I’m waiting for the wedges so in the meantime:

pulling the engine and transmission from the Cadi then I’ll get rid of the body.

And this concludes The Big Pine Scrounge of 2021.

Now back to the big project.

@Sandhill Crane, did you say you wished you would have gotten more of these. Not sure if you meant because you got a great deal or if you said it at all, but I saw this in your neck of the woods.

That’s pretty nice, would be a good log hauler, lots of new parts. Job we are starting on next week is 9 hr trip for the boss hauling logs, told him he needs this truck so he doesn’t have to make as many trips


This wood make a great wood hauler but I’d have to sell my Ford and I’m afraid the 9 mpg would get old on this one, but dump bed sure would be nice and gassers do have some advantages.

You can get a slide in dump box for about 5 to 6 grand. I looked at doing that to my plow truck but my plow truck ended up needing too much other work so I’m going to try to run it through this winter and then get a different one.

Morning fellows.

I ordered myself an early birthday present yesterday, a 2.5 horse Suzuki outboard. My only small outboard right now is a four horse that is about 50 years old so I am due for something newer. This one is a four stroke and has an integral tank which is nice for carrying to remote areas.

That's sweet, kinda like the Australian trains. It's not to be mistaken with the trump train, they call it the trunk train .
That would be a nice dump setup for the wood you haul.

I know where there's one that was built on a Ford f350 chassis for 2800, it's tempting, especially when a 14' dump trailer is 10k these days.

Happy birthday.
I have a 2hp Honda, it's a little beast on the back of my canoe, and it sips fuel. I like the Japanese products, but most here may have guessed that .

Wrecked the lower unit on the boat yesterday. Hit a rock in a channel I’ve been through dozens of times. Had to hire a tow home. Damn low water.

The good news is I was going to pull it out on Monday for the year. The bad news is I had two days of boating planned this weekend.

How wrecked is it? Sheared right off? Hole in the case? Skag ripped off? Prop shaft bent? If there isn't any physical outside damage to the lower case, there's a 50/50 chance you'll get out of it fairly cheap.

Thanks Steve didn’t know they still made the slide in dump boxes. Guy I know here has an older one, seems to work well. Probably wouldn’t work for me sense I have the fuel tank/tool box in mine and use it for so many different things. Wood be nice to have a dedicated wood hauler or dump trailer for sure and save the old Ford but not really in the budget and just something else to move when it snows and do maintenance on. Probably best for me to use what I have or sell it to someone who appreciates it more buy a pickup I can use for everything.
Happy early birthday, that should be a nice little boat motor, sorry to hear about your other one.


That’s a good deal on that F350 Brett, they have come down a little here but most are still way above blue book.

Does it have a brush trimming blade attachment? Pole saw? Leaf blower?

I'm gonna cry if you sell that obs! And you'll kick yourself in the but like I did after I got rid of my first one.

That’s what I’m afraid of. I’ve wished I would have kept most trucks I’ve sold. Had this one the longest.

 

[sean donato]

The first truck that was really mine was a 93 f150 super cab short bed 4x4. Loved that truck and regretted getting rid of it nearly as fast as it left. Replaced it years later with my 96. Don't think I'll ever get rid of it.

That's just for the dump box insert on an f350 frame/axle lol.
This is the one I want .
