Better go check on my OL , she went berry picking. And shes packing a gun ! LOL

Mom just headed down to find her and pick too !

I don't know about up your way, but here packing when berry picking is standard.The bear and coyote population is way up.

SAWZILLA ! ......

Looks like it needs a little more white on it...................

Got a bit done today, not much.
I got a few rusted up battery terminal clamps for the lead, and got most of the paint off that genset.

Has anyone here tried salvaging the lead from the old school car/tractor batteries? (the sort with filler caps)

Why did I let you have the Monkey 346 ???? :msp_unsure:

I'm building much stronger ones now. :msp_wink:

I plan on getting into milling in the next month or two. That's what the 288 is slated for and when it gets back I'll go ahead and order the mill for it. When I get into milling I'm going to hunt a 390/394/395 as a back up big saw.

I ask myself is it worth it and I then remind myself I'm using older saws and I hate to have to stop a job due to equipment. Same reason I always have a back up saw when falling a tree. More than once it's kept me out of trouble.

The 288 is sorta high strung for milling in my mind. An old 066 would be perfect......

For a work saw. What are the numbers on a Stihl 650?

Port it or get an 066 P&C and port it?

[little possum]

I'd sell it........but it wouldn't be cheap.

I had to try Dont need no more projects! Considered sellin the F150 to fund everything, but Id just end up buying something else. Gonna stay patient... Think I got my 400ex fixed... (charged the battery) after disassembling the whole thing to get the starter off.. :taped: Dummy

Bota is next on list, soon as next paycheck hits.

I've done one 650 Rob. It had a ring at the top of the plating so I couldn't cut the squish as much as I would have. The exhaust remained really high (to me) but made a very strong running saw.

On the 650 the transfers need raised to 118 or so and the intake dropped to about 80.

So worth it to get an 066 jug so you have more options?

Better off with a 066 top end ?

I didn't get to run the 650 enough to make that call. I will tell you that I've seen 064s that would really whoop up on a 066......
