The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

[struggle]

Thanks for the positvie feedback on it. It is old but rather simple to wrok on which I like. I just hope the engine holds up to the abuse.

As outdated as the wisconsin was must have had some torque and that is what makes me nervous on the twin being able to take it.

My neighbor that has helped with the welding on it (owns industrial machine shop) has a green wheel set up on a grinder that I am going to take some teeth up there to sharpen. I felt it did not cut as well as it should and pretty much all the teeth on it were dull.

I ran it with the dull teeth in hopes of seeing the difference with sharp ones.

Back with the Cal fire crews this week cutting. Me a real nervous Captain he almost shiat when I told him the trees we had to cut. One oak a hard leaner mid size tree, the Captain said he was not comfortable, and asked I f I was. Hmmmm Is a duck comfortable in water? I was able to gun it, and get it to swing a little right where I wanted. Up on the road to cut it up 046 mag, and 660. I did all with the 660

Yeah man great weather, challenge no had a super hard lean took one good size limb off the back as to take weight off, and not have it over my head. Was funny the prisoner cutters are supposed to cut em, if not the captain is the backup LOL! I usually put the ones I figure they will have trouble with on the ground, before they get there. It is funny, but not funny at the same time to watch. These guys are something! I saw a new cut they use 440's for saws with 24 in bars. This guy was cutting directly over his head, and could not reach, so one of his helpers boosted him over head, while they cut overhead I mean straight up, on a limb over 20 inches through, and 6-8 feet long. Two captains watching, well one was reading and looking at flowers. So it was a miracle the guy kinda fell back and the log missed em. The One captain who was actually watching yells way to go guys, on the team work. So I refer to this as the piggy back cut! Brian good to see ya!!! You too Randy M no fiber there! Thanks for posting pics Brian. Will how are ya brother? Aaron yes Jewwet be done maybe two to three more days to cut.

Here are some old pics of my Dad in a tree and his crew. This was back in the
1950's in Michigan. I was born there in 55,
My Dad had a Land clearing and Tree business back then.
He had done some state contracts and the state of Michigan could did not pay him,
They claimed they were going bankrupt and could not meet there obligations.
So he sold all his equipment and we moved to Eire Pennsylvania for three months.
He looked for work there but no good jobs. My Moms sister had moved out here to
CA. a few years before and kept telling them there was lots of jobs out here.
So we pack are stuff and moved to California in 1959.
