Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Backyard Lumberjack]

Here’s my truck, Detroit Locker rear and ARB air locker front. Prices range a lot depending on what you get, then do you install it yourself or have someone install it. There‘s different types of lockers, and different quality of brands.






Also there’s a type of limited slip that everyone thinks is a a locker, until it wears out. Power Lok. It’s a two piece carrier, that’s how they get more pressure on the clutches than other models. The other models are a one piece carrier.

This is the Power Lok in the rear of my Travelall.

Yes.....self fulfilling prophesy. She would be a lot of fun to hang with but not really wife material. She has some serious...assets. .................................
There were others that I was accused of being with while married and I will swear on my fathers grave, I wasn't with any of them. Did some fulfilling once I was divorced though
My ex followed the old nazi propaganda trick of "accuse others of what you were guilty of"....

i have never known svk to lie...

Ok I give. I’ve spent 30 minutes tryin to find a conversation I had with a fella about old sears saws. Was supposed to get him a pic but can’t remember who it was!!! Does any of you that still retain most of your brain cells (which apparently I do not!) happen to remember who that was?? DISREGARD..... the old geezer found it!

That's funny me too. I found a roper that would fit the Era. Still searching for the guy lol

In Wisconsin chili is ground beef, tomato sauce, chili powder and macaroni noodles served with oyster crackers. Ok but kinda blah.

I live for scrounging posts in threads. Never know what you will end up with. A fellow member mentioned to me that I was scrounging stuff 2+ years old in firewood terms that would be perfectly seasoned!

I do try to load it heavy - haven't dumped one in a while, but it does happen occasionally. I may get the 4 wheeler and trailer out tomorrow to move more per trip. And maybe a couple of involunteers to help.

I have an 8X4 shop built trailer with 18" sides, and a small 4wd tractor. Its perfect for moving wood from the piles to the house.

Agreed! When baseball players were threatening a strike in the second labor dispute in the 90's I swore that I would never watch one more minute of baseball if they did. And I have lived up to it. The only time I'm interested is if there's a bench clearing brawl and then I cheer for both teams. I have now basically given up all pro sports and most college - it's all about the greed now and I don't support it. Clearly they are not missing my money that badly, but I do wish others would join me to bring them down a few notches. They are all a bunch of spoiled crybabies that don't deserve admiration, respect, or especially my money.

Hot button topic and I held back how I really feel.

You are not alone. I used to love football. I havent watched a game in years. Same for baseball and basketball. strikes and taking knee has turned me off. I was also a big nascar fan, but when they started the race to the chase crap and the car of tomorrow,. I said to heck with it. Go fast and turn left, run what you brung and hope you brung enough is racing. Giving everybody the same briggs and straton on the same frame is just running in circles.

International calls it an RA-15, it was built by Eaton to IH specifications.
4.88:1 from the factory, still original. The highest ratio they made was 4.30:1.



It has a Detroit Locker (No Spin). I have this one sitting on the shelf for if it’s ever needed.

Me and my boy have wheel barrow contests. He’s dying for the day he can outdo the old man. That day apparently hasn’t came yet.
he was splitting on the 24” ash rounds we cut the other day and he finally had to concede that the “old man” was going to have to come out of hand splitting retirement and get them in half first!!
Some day youngin , but not today!

it is unreal how much you can fit on a wheel barrow when you make side boards out of a few pieces of thinner wood.

Ahh, the new g course clearer! Noice!

Ayup
That was the price they had to pay to get me to play lol

You pull the splitter with the trailer? Didn't think you could do that. County roads only? Mine is only rated for 35 mph?

You can't pull a B-train up here .
