@Cobleskill yep, brass welch. The screw had an irregular thread so I didn't put any locktite. Now I'm second guessing my decision.

A couple years ago one of my 192T was bogging down, didn't do anything with it since I was spending more time taking care of my Dad, anyway tree work looks like it'll pick up, so I went looking for just an o ring for the accelerator pump, Stihl no help, Rubberline was no help, damn if Princess...

I've been meaning to take a pic, I've had one for my electric motor and pump repair for decades, but only a dirt pad. Much better with the steel plate, once things get sorted with other stuff, it'll turn into a concrete pad.

With a manual engine picker, my log dollies and a metal plate pad, it wasn't that bad getting these logs moved off my driveway. Really looking forward to adding gas engine power in the near future. Biggest log is 18" by 9.5ft

All it is, an extra bunk and a bar that leans against two log stops.

Done some milling past day. Made up a cookie jig a while ago, first time used it. Having checker plate for a pad is pretty good during winter.

I stuck a D handle on one of my 088s, cold start kick backs are painfull, but since I only mill with my 088s I strap the saw and mill on my tailgate and I can put my whole body into cold starting it, a real bonus, making chainsaw milling suck 10% less.

Grippy gloves so you have to squeeze a little less.

Used a wedge on dirt today.

Getting back to some milling, had to sharpen the blade, with a dremel.

Just some small milling jobs perfect for my small mill. Layed some 5' by 8' 1/4" checker plate, wanted concrete but this will do for the time being. Testing a tandem axle dolly for the heavier logs,.think I will close the spacing between the axles. They are 2000lb trailer axles.

I had a makeshift loading hand winch, but I finally made it to the steel supplier, welded up a proper winch mount, then a bottom pocket with an extension through the frame for needed extra support and have a receiver to mount something in in the future. (8" deep) The bottom pocket took a while...

If I can get them under my I beam, I'm fine. Log arch is the next project, and a winch to pull logs on the cart to the mill.

I'm working on it, slowly, but steady.

Hotel two doors away burnt down, house next door is Chinese owned and was over filled with Chinese students, behind me the dogs can jump into my yard from the piles of dog shit, other house old lady has a son with a Harley, over a bit house with adult son with quads, Colborne st is a main drag...
