Yeah, that sounds like a real *****. I gotta do a water pump and timing chain in the Riviera. Pita. I'm hoping the Malibu holds out till I get around to it. Those 305's were notorious grenades, so I'm not holding my breath lol.

I had an 86 caprice with a 305 that I just scrapped beat the **** out of it motor is still good damn near rusted in half so when the starter crapped in January I called it quits.
I always thought the 305/350 was pretty tough

Changed all the pockets? What teeth are you running on yours, Jeff? I have the yellow jackets and am happy with them.
Blakes how do you keep those yellow jackets from loosening up. Ours seem to vibrate loose after about ten minutes of grinding. It might just be the guys that are doing it but everytime I have to use it, I gotta tighten a bunch up.
Whew, I sure wished we had a crane on this one in the lake today !!

Riviera? Malibu?
Anyway:
I sobered up enough to get three full days on this clearing job and we have been hammering the living piss out of it. I keep forgetting to bring a camera but we have been having a lot of fun indiscriminately chopping down trees and burning diesel.
When I showed up on the third day I was told we were changing direction and going to remove a bunch of tall hickory inside the fence... well there goes the indiscrimination. I didn't bring any climbing gear and only had a pulley and porty which we were using for the smash and grab in the woods. The kid breaks out his shiny new Sherril bag and heads up one of them saying **** like, " I don't use a climbing line" and "I am not sure I can tie the knots once I am up there" and " This saw never ran right" . So after nervously watching him trim a few small limbs off the trunk he wisely and thankfully gave up and came down. We didn't even a climbing between the two of us so I used my old 12strand that we had been using to pull trees with the big Bobcat. I hated those beeners with the green buttons but I was able to wiggle into the kid's saddle and figure out the procedure for clipping on a saw.
The client won't let me pull my chipper out of there until I give him a couple more days. I'm like, " I gotta get my truck fixed!" He is like " NO!" I am like, " I gotta get this tooth pulled." He is like, "NO!" I am like, " I'm scheduled for a hip operation", He did say anything to that, he just walked away.

I have not tried the yellow jackets yet, probably should.

Pruned one apple, watched my boss climb and pull some deadwood and hangers on an oak. Then hit a crab that was never touched and crazy full. I can't wait for spray season! Picture of the crab. Always forget the before pic. Pruned for structure. Took a lot out. Nice to be outside but I can't wait for the snow to stop falling. I'd usually start hitting the fruit with hort oil about now. This is about a long as a winter as I can remember.

Is the cutter wheel worn? Mine is and that's why from time to time my green teeth pockets get a tad bit loose.
Gorman it's not worn. Sorry I meant just the teeth, not the pockets. I really liked the green teeth, but I'm not the one who does the purchasing. We're running an 852 and it came with the yellow jackets.

Spent about half the day yesterday and half the day today removing this long row of dead pines. No clean up. You can't see the power line in the pic but it zigzags all the way down the lane. 77 removals in all. Then we knocked out a huge dead Elm in the customers back yard this afternoon.
Why did all these die but none just to the left?
