Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

This is off the Homelite I scrounged last week. Think I can maybe cut a couple dozen more cords before she's totally worn out?

I can't see why not, just might want to jump up to.063 chain lol.

I haven't run it yet but this saw is mint otherwise. I'm almost wondering if it was retired because it wouldn't cut worth a darn with this trashed bar?

Funny how something so minor could have happened, but it does everyday. I had the bar on my 550 get twisted a bit today by a log that rolled while I had the bar buried in it, kind of an odd deal. It seems ok, but I didn't cut much with it after that to find out.
That is a nice looking saw, I would like to have one just because they look cool, maybe one day.

Thanks nate.
The skidding winch on my tractor helped on half of them .
Those leaners it will surly help. The bummer is i can't just totally stand them up and bring them right straight over. I will have to use the cable to swing them to the side or they will hit the new electric wire. Oh well, it will all be done in a minute, and hopefully nothing will look like that mini van did.

Well the wood I'll be cutting tomorrow will mostly be dimensional lumber. Have to put the ceiling into my hunting cabin. But I'm hoping to break out a bit and noodle my pile of Norway pine rounds and get them in to the splitting area before the bugs fire up and it gets too hot to be slinging half and quartered rounds through the woods.

Still no wood from the tree guys. They keep sending emails out about possible deliveries. I don't think I'll ever see a dump truck of logs from them.

I know how you feel as I'm in the same boat. You just have to be ready for feast when it comes I guess.

I always try to fill the back of the truck up with dry wood when I have been out. It stacks nicely in the verandah ready to burn straight away.View attachment 502766 View attachment 502767

nice, big backdoor pile ~ I really like it when on a cold night... and time for another log or two... I just have to step outside onto the porch... and pick it and take it in. convenient and handy always works for me...

your firewood pile looks convenient and handy to me...

Happened to notice this nice piece of red fir on the way to the scrounge pile today. Put a new plug in the scrounged 51 and adjusted carb (was too lean) seems to be running well. Landscape company my son works for was hired to haul everything to the dump that was left at a place that sold the 51 was in the pile, was missing starter cover (and it's a husky) so my son didn't want it, so it got added to my arsenal. Impressive little saw.

It does, but something is not right. Put it to the wood and the chain skips on the sprocket. Have not even pulled the side cover to look at it yet. Motor sounds fine though.

Scrounged up a truck load from FIL's place with the help of my middle boy What is the fix for a broken choke knob? Officially a rat saw!

Leaves, green grass, and snow. It's snowed more since.

At the NASCAR race in Delaware this weekend. not to sure if we'll need a fire but just in case i scrounged up some burr oak and pine kindling.best i could do without a chainsaw.

Pioneer P39 update. The chain was off the sprocket, fixed that and it cuts wood like a good thing. Heavy but anti vibe works pretty good.
