The saga continues,,,,,,,,,,

chevy plow started thmping underneath cab,thot it was exhaust hitting.

looked at the pinstripe from cab to bed,,sure nuff,dropped a good inch,,driveshaft rubbing.

cut out the offending piece of metal tomorrah.

snowblower I put away so carefully,even let fuel lines drain.

left old filter off,sumthin got in and plugged new filter,,took a bit to find no fuel flow.

got that going.

shut it off and no restart,,,well,,start but not stay running.

found valve in big black primer bulb not seating.

got it going again.

I did everything I could all fall to make transition to winter painless,,didn't happen.

try and put another piston on dodge plow tomorrah also.

months of work and planning go to **** in two days

Got a few inches of fresh snow here in Nor Cal.
View attachment 474540

I have been there in the snow, that highway looks familiar but likely miles of highway up there looks kinda the same.

John, those seals should still be available through Stihl, the clutch side seal fits a lot of models, the 028,026,034 and 036 for a few models and lilkely more and the flywheel side seals are the same on the 028 and the 038. The Stihl part# are, flywheel side>9640 003 1600 its a 15 X 29.6 X 4 mm.
The flywheel side seal> 9640 003 1340 and its a 13 X 22 X 5 mm.

Yeah I had kinda day the last two......all woodstove stuff and firewood all put up,,,,dry undercover....so Sunday before we were supposed to go down to 10 'Merican I decided to clean out the removable panels on either side of the combustor in my living room stove....these eventually fill with fine ash and close off the flow of burnt gases which slows the stove down........so I pulled the back arched firebrick panels.....they had eroded quite a bit in the center where they come together.......and ...OH MY......the combustor had combusted....looked in rather rough shape......undid the retaining panels and cleaned out both side of ash...lost a bit of refractory material...just fell apart.......put it all back together but can't get it to run right.... Did a bunch of research and consulted my manual.....had to order a new combustion pkg and new rear fire bricks.....the brick protects the combustor so having one broken and both burnt away in the center is failed economy.....in my readings the common time between replacements is 4-6 yrs.....this is my 10th winter on the stove......ran it really hard for two winters with the oil furnace off...the other 8 it was fired around the first week in Dec and run steady at a moderate pace until mid April.....with the furnace just maintaining a constant heat. I guess I got my moneys worth out the parts I'm replacing......but it sure put a ding in the sporran....noticed the last two winters the efficiency was slowly getting worse......could occasionally see a bit of smoke out the chimney and the amount of wood used increased too....when operating properly and at operating temp you never see any sign of smoke out the chimney.....it burns 99% of the smoke and turns it into heat....never clean the chimney...did that once 'cause I had the 8 X 12 brush and 30' of poles......gave that up 9 years ago......but there is a cost to it....(sigh)......

My buddy just stopped and got his 3 saws . LOL Told him 125.00 for that last one , only charge him for parts cause of the free wood ! LOL But he wouldn't have it , gave me 250.00 . And told me to shut up ! LOL I really enjoy fixing saws for people like him , not cause of the money , just a good guy . Cuts all that wood for fun , gives it all away . His family have a slew of acres , 3 or maybe 4 farms all together . Lease it all out now since his Mom had to go into assisted living place . And his Dads been gone a few years now . They had been divorced least 30 yrs. dad remarried , Mom didn't . Think the step-mom got one farm where they lived ?
His Dad was into race horses for a real long time , raised and sold them for big bucks !
Some how I got to going out to the farm they lived on just messing around having fun . Can't even member how that started ? LOL Spent a lot of summers out there when I was young .
Would never know they had money , none of them ever acted like it . Just normal every day people .

Seems every piece of equipment needs maintenence no matter how well built, you did well to get 10 years from it without replacing parts.
