Likewise. Everything crammed way over here on the left for 1/2 page, Other 1/2 just blank currently. Hate it!!
They will try that. I am dropping it off tomorrow if I can get it to town without blowing he engine
Good point and I should have mentioned it. A fault code is back. I don't know if it is the same one.
It was down for maintenance when I tried to come on earlier.
Joe is an idiot. People watch some youtube vids to learn stuff but this guy is gonna get someone hurt or worse by his ineptness. The comment section of those vids are better than the vids.
On my mobile is just the colours that have changed a little really. My first reaction was, 'oh, new site to get used to' but it doesn't seem much different so far
Don't forget that if you shut the truck off driving it to town you will only be able to use the breaks with the break booster a couple times, then it will be worse than manual breaks, and as soon as you shut it off the same will happen with the power steering.
Sure you've experienced this before, but I just figured it was worth noting
.Here'a video for your mechanic lol.
He's actually about 50 min from our home.
I've offered to swing buy and show him a thing or two about sharpening and he never responds to those posts except just to say thanks for watching or something along those lines.
My favorite is that he says that they chain is freshly sharpened by him on his grinder, then it won't cut
.I will be helping a friend from church move into the same town he's in within the next week or so(just waiting on closing), I should just call him.
I agree, but at least that idiot is doing something to earn a buck rather than sucking on the teat
.Yes, the comments are revealing of how few people have any sort of an idea on what the heck he's doing/how to cut at all
. Just think if wanted me to swing buy and help him sharpen/cut, things could get wicked dangerous in a heartbeat
. I could also bring him into this thread, sure everyone would have some tips for him

I don’t normally pick up .223 brass (or 7.62x39 when I had one)… However I want to load some .223 with some heavier bullets.
Nosler makes a .224 diameter 60 grain partition however it’s out of stock at this point and resale prices for a box of loose bullets are ridiculous on gun broker. Not that I would use a 223 for regular deer hunting but it might be cool to fill a doe tag.

You now have two more options for viewing the forum.
1. Is the Arborist 2.0 (old version you are use to)
2. Arborist Site (light new theme/style)
3. Arborist Site Dark (as it says it's dark as some people find it easier on the eyes).
Choose one and save. You can always change again if you want.

I don’t mind the change in layout but at least on my phone the text is tiny to my early middle aged eyes.
I’ve owned a couple of 07’s and one had those same issues even after the new sensor was installed. The sensor is installed on the back of the block above the transmission and there’s a small channel that comes from the main oil feed… Sometimes a small piece of gunk can get stuck in there and cause fake readings. I was told by the shop to run a bottle of seaform in the oil for a bit then change the oil. You could also use a couple cups of diesel oil instead and then change the oil. Having that thinner stuff in there (for a short time) will sometimes help dissolve whatever crud is in there. I’m not sure if guy could pull the sensor and then stick a small scrubber in there (perhaps a rifle cleaning brush) in case there’s a solid/congealed solid stuck in there.
Otherwise, the redneck in me says to disable the sensor as that motor will probably be good for 250 to 350 K with regular oil changes. Up to you. But it kind of sounds like the shop may not be trying their hardest.
Joe seems unwilling if not incapable of learning... He's backed off a bit on screaming at the haters (i.e., almost everyone who disagrees with him) but still does his own thing. He's very good at wrecking equipment! ....and like with train wrecks, it's hard not to watch sometimes!He's actually about 50 min from our home.

Yep. He threw everyone (me included) off his Facebook page that didn't agree with his way of thinking. He cursed me me up one side and down the other calling me every name in the book in a PM. His name comes up regularly on other firewood pages I'm on.Joe seems unwilling if not incapable of learning...

Same up here in Saskatchewan. A lift under the front wheels and done. Engine shut off of course. Was originally developed to unload wagons. Unhook the horses of course.
I don’t know if I’ve seen this guy or not, but I have seen videos like you’re describing. The comments are full of people saying the right way to do it, and how dangerous it is the way it’s done in the video.
