Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[GrizG]

A guy on the next block over has one in a pot on a hand truck and just wheels it in and out of his garage.

That would work... I had 3 in the vegetable garden area. There were grapes for wine too... I had some of the wine... It would have been useful for removing the paint from SS396Driver's vise.

I finally got my parts for the cheapo 350 that I wanted to pay around with. One thing I noticed was that the base screws were loose and the case was leaking. Sure enough this had been taken apart and put back together with no sealant. No wonder the piston burned up. I did replace the crank seals and carb boot. I used a steel clamp on the new boot. I opened up the muffler on it. I fired it up on Friday, set the low jet and the high jet on the rich side. Now I'm waiting for a little bit warmer day to try it out in some wood.

Attempted to split some wood yesterday morning. Had a big oak round on the splitter, pushing through a knott, hit something real hard, splitter kicked into second stage in the pump and bang. One of the side bolts that holds the push plate on broke off, resulting in the push plate twisting off the beam. Needless to say, that haulted splitting. Ran in and grabbed the saw to cut the split off the wedge. Hit something about half way through. Figured I clipped the wedge. Nope. There's a piece of metal in it. definatly not my day. Just finished up making new heavier side plates for the push plate. Pretty sure I tweaked the cylinder rod when it twisted. Taking this as a sign I need to start making the new splitter.
