Which side of the screwdriver drawer do you keep that one in?
Iāve been raking the forest. Seems to me that someone advised us to do that, so Iām getting it done. This isnāt a wide brush rake like they put on dozers, but itās working.
A- on labeling
C on organization
That sounds like it has a Detroit in it.
Hell yeah!!
The don't ever need it (anymore) side.
Yes itās a 4-71T
I started in the passenger ferry business in 1999. 71's were the backbone of our fleet, we had 9 12-71 turbo's and a pair of 8-71 naturals in service. Fast forward 25 years, and most everything has been repowered, and we only have a pair of 12-71's left in our oldest, smallest, least used boat.
066/660 saws NEVER had flippy caps! Get with the program!
Lol. I should know better, it'd been a while since I've had one
.You can use a scrench or screwdriver on a husky flippy cap, only needed that once, but I didn't know that back then.
Wife and I were discussing what and where I was going with things out in the shop. Shes pushing real hard for me to move out of the basement, but I really have no idea where I want anything yet. Only about 60% sure where I want the door between the shop and side room right now, let alone recept boxes or anything else. I did kinda figure out how big I can make the loft, and still have decent room to place the lift. It's gonna be tight with the amount of junk I gotta stick in it. Lol.
Air compressors.... I don't like where i have mine right now. It's convenient for the time being, but I really want it (them really, I have 2 5hp 60 gal compressors.) Out side the shop. Just hogs up space and makes a lot of noise. Which may still happen. Just needed it working and had some 8ga wire in flex tight that was the right length to run up over the door for right now. I like the idea of a sub panel if it's any distance from the main panel. Run one decent sized wire to feed it, branch off to whatever you need. Simple.
Can't remember what it's called, but it's the one you need to take the doors off the bathroom stalls at work..... don't ask how I know..
Just got home from helping a buddy butcher 46 chickens. It went really well since we were able to borrow a plucker that did 6-8 birds at a time and a scalder that could do the same.
Finished product in the cooler...
Lots of good eats there.

I've got a crapton of stuff in the basement, before any of it goes into the barn, the barn needs to be way more finished and I have to go thru everything. I have so much that was bought to resell, I just need to get the barn finished so I have the time to unload it all. Before I built the barn I sold a bunch of saws, that helped, but there's still a good number of them down there.
I do know within 8' of where I want my door to the main bay, so I have that going for me
.Is your loft going to be in the whole thing like an attic, or just one side. I plan on having a shelf around much of mine, it needs to be high enough to walk/work under so I can have benches and storage underneath, but low enough that I can put a pallet up there with the tractor.
I have a cheaper Craftsman compressor, but it's fairly tall, I will enclose it, as I don't want to listen to it either. It should be enough for my needs, I'm more concerned about its longevity. Hopefully it actually works, I did get a good deal on it though lol.

That's something I've never done, but the rest of the family has. We have a friend who normally does thousands a yr at his place. Unfortunately he has been waiting on hip surgery for like 7 months because it was infected, and to ad insult to injury(literally), their home just caught fire. I guess they were in the barn butcher a small batch of chickens, the power went out, he walked out to see what the problem was and saw the fire trucks they had heard were in their driveway
. Quite a ways out before it's finished, and he's scheduled for his surgery early this month. Oh yeah, he just retired last fall.
Great saw.
Yes, made by makita, well sort of; like huskys are made by Electrolux.
Man, that's a rough year. I hope things turn around for him and his retirement gets more enjoyable.That's something I've never done, but the rest of the family has.

My mother in law had a tough time with her hip replacement and had to have one redone. She was just about done with rehab and an infection settled into it so they replaced it.
Anatomy of a failure: My first hung ring!
This saw started out as an OEM 066 round top that I brought back from the dead. It ran good, but the OEM P&C were slightly scored, even though the rings were free.
So, when the Cross Cylinders with Randy's influence came out, I got one and installed it. The saw ran very well and is the one on the HL Supply website video promoting the Cross P&C. It ran well for several years and was one of two 066/660s I used as a "tag team" for milling (both set up with 36" light bars with full comp square file). (The other saw is the Asian 660 Doc Al built for the competition).
Last fall, in the middle of milling a White Oak board, it abruptly stopped. I tried to re-start it, but it obviously did not have much compression, so I just replaced it with another 660.
Well, today I decided to rip it down to see what happened. I'm always VERY careful to make sure exhaust ports are properly beveled, even if I did not touch them, but I guess I did not pay enough attention to the upper transfers.
I have spare Meteor pistons in my inventory, and an OEM 066 and an OEM 660 cylinder too. But I may just clean this one up and re-use it. I know the squish is .020 w/o a base gasket, it ran strong, and the transfer ports look great! (I don't have an angle grinder). The minor damage to the squish band would be easy to repair, and if I play with the exhaust and intake ports a bit if should run very strong!
I'm going to pull out the other two cylinders and decide if I want to make it OEM again! Enjoy the pics of my FIRST hung ring failure!
