This one does "okay" - Speaking of wheelbarrows, every time I see this pic in an ad on craigslist I think it's a wheelbarrow lol.

If you had said that there was a complaint then the tone of the whole thing would have been different .
For that (reacting to a complaint) I say job well done .

Adda boy Duncan !

kinda wondering why this thread did not get deleted, or has not yet.... over in Tradin' Post?

Want to Trade Fuk it​

or at least edit it....

Use the report feature. My recent experience here doesn't make me think there is any reason to try.

Besides, you didn't include any link.

Little stumped. My MS460 didn’t seem to be oiling properly . I took the clutch off worm gear drive was good and I put it back together started it and sure enough oil was coming out the port. Put it together and more oil was dripping down the side of the saw than on the chain . Oil ports are clear on the bar took it apart again found nothing . Cleaned it all specially the bar oil plate and put it back together. Still oozing out in order to stop it I had to crank on the bar nuts more than usual. Don’t get it .

Sounds like something got behind the alignment oil plate brother. Nothing solid , just enough to cause the oil to miss the oil plate groove . Once you retorgued bar nuts the interference compressed . Doesn't take much been there ! lol.

I know, right? I leave you'se guys for a week without any supervision and y'all try to get the thread locked!

At least @LondonNeil posted some wheelbarrow pics and @Cowboy254 was back in the game to keep the scrounging/ maple syrup/ shooting/ new tyre/ calico cat/ et al thread on topic or it would have been doomsday for sure.

I have a seal point lol
I met with another landowner yesterday, I have another lot to cut .
Y'all can come over , bring a wheelbarrow , the homeowner is allergic to smoke so burns no wood .

Damn! I forgot to take a picture as I was late and rushing to mum's for Easter Sunday lunch! I used my new trailer to take wood across town, with the car loaded too I moved a m³. I'll probably move another 3 or so to make room for the stuff I scrounged the other day. Mum's 2 little stores are full now but the rest can go against the back wall of her house, that is South facing and a good sun trap and my brother moves it to one of her stores as she empties them.

Happy Easter!

You too Nate, and the rest of you scroungers also.

Thought I'd add to the cast iron portion of the firewood thread. My favorite skillet and the one I hope my wife uses if she's mad at me! Perfect size for egg muffins or bagels. The sauce is very good. It's spendy compared to some but very flavorful. Made by pepper palace which has little trendy mall stores but products are supposed to be made in Murica.

Hey that's my 5" breakfast sausage CI skillet! Hash browns, eggs, etc. go in my 10" CI.

No go on wooding tomorrow. Snowed all morning and wound up with 2" on the ground with a lot more that had melted as it came down. Entry into the site will be smeary mud.

Finally! Made an attempt at wooding Friday. Bare ground everywhere I could see so set out for the willow bush. Mile down the road and a dusting of snow in the fields. Another half mile and it was snow cover in the fields and snow shoulder to shoulder on the road. Then snow again that afternoon. Thawed off today and wx report says dry tomorrow so I'll give it a shot again in the morning.

I got the dogs fixed. One nut had fallen off, and it was moving around. I had to replace the screw too, because the threads were buggered. I got them from the shop in the foothills, it’s the best stocked.

On the rare occasion I deliver firewood, I use modified cable chase sides as pictured. That's the max I like to load in it. The trailer has a 2000# axle and 14" car tires so I could easily hold more, but the frame is 1/8" - 2" x 2" angle iron and I'm afraid more would bend the frame.

When I'm moving wood around, I just mound it up.

Well guys, the yard at Zogger’s old house is cleaned up and the place is for sale with a few acres. I know the guy who owned the land had passed shortly before he did so it looks like the compound is being partitioned off.

All of Zog’s scrounges are gone including the camper and vehicles. That must’ve been an undertaking!

Oakzilla stump is still present.
