Yup . She’s getting a little tired though may have to get it rebuilt at some point
I was surprised it wasn't the 7900.
Miss mine, after saying that I'm probably going to have to look at pictures of it now
. Those big rounds take a good bit of time, but they sure produce a lot of splits.
Morning men. Yes it is amazing how much split firewood comes from big rounds. Did some noodling with my homey 925 the other day. It handles it quite well.I was surprised it wasn't the 7900.

I’ve done the same from Illinois a couple times. Rode to and all around Alaska in 2013. Made the arctic circle, top of the world hiway Dawson city and a lo more. It was a great trip
I've got a ported 460 done by Doc Al that runs very strong (046-D cylinder w/bridge ports). Does not get as much use as it should since he subsequently did a Hybrid for me that runs just as strong and is lighter (also has a 046-D jug).
Although they say the regular 460 just run just as strong after porting, I've always had good luck with the 046-D jugs and used to seek and hord them. I have 3 running saws with them (the 460 and 2 Hybrids), and I think I have another unused one in storage. Plus, I built a 460 I gave to a grandnephew with one.
From the factory, the 046 Magnums (the originals with dual port mufflers) were the strongest 046/460s produced.
Ironically, all 044/440s also have D jugs! Many stock 440s ran just as strong as the heavier 460s. Both generally woke up very well with base gasket delete, muffler mods, timing advance, and low restriction air filters. My modified (but unported) 10mm 044 has embarrassed a lot of larger saws at GTGs.
I heard the club members were pleased with the outcome, as there was agreement to exclude the existing clubs from the new regulations (which was their concern).
I've been a member of PCFGA since about 1980 and use to be a Board Member.
However, I also spoke to my brother (a Lawyer) about it, and he said it may be an example of "Exclusionary Zoning", which is illegal!
I agree with your brother… I’ve spent enough time in city council and county legislature committee meetings (1,000+ of them), and as an appointed advisor to same, to see what goes on. By the time it reaches the public it’s often difficult to change course… I’d try to get someone involved in the zoning process to add grandfather language beyond the “new rod and gun” (from memory) verbiage.
Was too lazy to put the new chain on . I toasted the chain on some metalI was surprised it wasn't the 7900.

Cut the last of this years wood yesterday. Shed is stuffed. Has anyone seen a longer handle for a prince log splitter valve? Can't find one so I use a piece of pvc pipe for an extension.

Hmmm looks just like my handle extension! Knew I should have patented it!
Wow! That looks great! Now I'm really hungry. I'll be right over
.His PVC pipe on his splitter. ( Husqvarna 257 from above)
Can you bolt on an extension to the side of the handle?
Morning guys,
Been busy with school but trying to do as much saw work as I can. My son and I worked with my BIl last weekend to cut down a maple at their place. He's getting to be a young adult. I gave him a husky 236 and he was bucking up stuff with the rest of us. Hope everyone is doing well. Hoping since 2 of my classes are CAD classes which I'm familiar with that I can get more time to cut.

It's OK stuff. Not the end all be all. We used it on the trucks and conveyers/salt spreaders at the township. Needed re applied after the trucks got washed off, or we had rain for a week, or we plowed slush... Basically anytime the film got washed away. At minimum it will need reapplied yearly on the trucks we didn't plow with.
something didn't go right, used it several times with good results. Only thing I never liked about it is it needs top coated.(extra expense on an already very expensive product.) Switched to using a rust converter and 2 part epoxy paint on frames. My cousin did similar on his 74 f-150 frame back in 2014 and so far there still no signs of rust coming through.
