    The Official Critter Thread

    I was at my mother's house a few days ago, and my sister's blue heeler was licking my pants. There was a hole there, so I told my sister that her dog had attacked me, and chewed a hole in my pants. My sister ignored me, not surprisingly. I got thinking about it today, those pants shouldn't have...

    All I know is, no matter how much crane you have, they are going to want more. The first rental I was on with the 4100, we were reaching across a pool, which was about 12' above our setup level, and putting a climber over 100' trees. He asked if we had any more capacity. MF, you're already half...

    How'd it go today?

    The exhaust on my Golf is coming apart. It sounds like I'm in a fog horn when it upshifts.

    The Humboldt is primarily for speed of production

    These days, 6" of trim is typical. Some people used to try to get down to 3-4" with hardwood. Many of my timbers land on even feet. I want that trim to move my joinery around to avoid knots.

    Got a good source for Stihl parts online?

    The chain I have now is skip. I don't remember where it came from, it's probably 20 years old. Very unlikely to find skip, or 105 dl locally.

    Got a good source for Stihl parts online?

    I have been wondering about Xcut. The regular Oregon is too soft, I know that much.

    Got a good source for Stihl parts online?

    Any sources for Stihl chain? I'm looking for 33RS .050" 3/8" 105 DL. Amazon has one in full skip for $65, but shipping is way out.

    The mills and tree cos are the only log trucks. No independent trucks any more.

    How'd it go today?

    Tons of rot, but there are a lot of solid sections, sadly very short because a line clearance co took it down. There are no log trucks to hire. My guy cut ten feet of frame off his log truck and put a dump body on it last summer.

    We got the walnut home today. Going to have plenty of work next week.

    How'd it go today?

    My 32" bar was not sawing straight. I ran it over my grinder, and found the rails were very uneven, despite looking pretty nice. I think the longer bars are much less forgiving of being out of spec. I've got to do a lot of ripping tomorrow, so I'll find out quickly how it's cutting.

    Reducing a 6' walnut so we can load it tomorrow to bring to my mill. More nibbling required.

    As far as complexity, these older Japanese fuel systems fall somewhere between a wheel, and a wheel mounted on an axle.

    How'd it go today?

    I was having some trouble with an injector after reassembling the Kubota. Japanese fuel systems are pretty primitive compared to today's common rail stuff, so I decided to take a chance and clean the injector. I'm not sure exactly what I cleaned out of it, but I ran for an hour with no skipping...

    Mark Rober does some cool porch pirate stuff on YouTube, pre AI.

    Well, the battery is a crappy deal. I have a battery that will start the mill, but I'll have to plug the tractor in to the mill to run the hydraulics. I don't think the mill battery is coming back from 5.46 volts.

    I had a little panic moment with the Kubota, but it turned to be a crappy hose clamp. Sawmill battery is junk. Wasn't expecting that. :(

    Finished the tractor project in the dark, with freezing rain, because it isn't going to get any better any time soon.
