I put a 12 oz bottle of Power Service White in with every fill up. . As long as your using #1 it burns good. #2 turns into a solid at 40 below. I have a trickle charger on my batteries. Frost plug 600 watt heaters on each side of the block. 200 watt pad on the oil pan. And a pad I put on the...

Its sad that the company that came up with the GriGri, Rig and ID. Also comes up with dangerous duds like the Shunt, Stop, and ZZ Having tested the HH and the GriGri thruroghly , I'll just stick with what I know. I think the ZZ is a great idea but like GB says its too whimpy.

Starting diesels that haven't been plugged in is an easy way to get rid of thousands of dollars. .We pay 37¢ a kilowatt. My 1 ton Ford pulled 1800 watts when plugged in and that was cheap compared to a new engine. One thing some may not know is transmissions are affected by the cold also...

It had finally turned winter here. It hung out at-30F for a few days. Yesterday it warmed up and is now +5 . Coldest we had at the house was -36 maybe-38 . Central Canada is making us look like wimps this winter.

More like from the late 1950s . The old timers that broke me in Falling talked about it. And I've seen Diston saws with it on them.

On the 181 and flat filtered 288 , metal gas tank . The air was pulled from the back. On the plastic tank, stack filtered 288 there is a slot formed in the left side bottom of the top cover. That was pre Air Flow system. That feature made it so we didn't have to make a hole/ slot there. As we...

I've worked with a lot of guys that cut on St Helen's. They had different techniques the used to deal with chains getting dull quickly. Some guys ran 084scso they could PUSH HARD when their chain got dull. . Some would fall as much as they could without crossing themselves up. Change their...

Tho I'm of the opinion that a razor sharp chain properly jointed on a good straight, true bar is 10× more important than what powerhead is pulling that chain. As far as it making a cut goes anyway. The fact is that just a good consistent chain on a good bar will get the work done. This...

Depending on what is being cut. But generally daily or every.other day. . When.bucking a blow down patch, getting in the grit is the single most frequent means of the chain getting dull. Try as I might it happens more than I wish.it would. . And throwing a chain takes its toll also. Life...

Chisel grinder is almost infinitely adjustable. And more adjustable than a chisel file. With a chisel grinder, the tooth can be lightly buffed, polished or ground to correct shape and sharpness. And all the teeth can easily be done the same. Long bars full of wood will show that cutter...

That's my thots exactly.

:lol: Magnus, the Silvey Pro Sharp, SDM 4 and Simington 451 . A,B +C are all more adjustable than a chisel file and more repeatable. The burr can be consistently eliminated by giving the top angle of the stone a light buff dress and not feeding the tooth into the stone too fast.

Now your gettin it Jed!! Nothin ventured, nothing gained. . The more you.do it the better your results will be. Imo, chisel fileing is 30% head knowledge 40% eye hand coordination/ experience. And 30% good files and fileing set up. Then kinda pick your battles. If you rock the snot out...

Since I still had some wood to put up for the winter and haven't gotten the small saw thing done. I thot I'de do a ( Holmen conversion) . I picked up a 16" bar and chain combo at the local hardware store 3/8 pitch full comp. Chisel bit as I'm in clean wood. I already had a half wrap handle...

Yup, squared up it will cut smoother and be easier to control in the cut. Ideally you would use a Silvey Bar Rail grinder. . However a less expensive solution is to put a 7" metal cutting abrasive blade onto a 10" portable table saw. . Use a square to make sure its at 90° and use that I've...

Jed ; if your chain can tilt 10° when the chain is properly tensioned. You have a wore out situation goin on. You can try rolling the rails then grind the rails flat. Shouldn't have to take too much off. Just get them flat, parralel and true. When you roll the rails, make sure you have a...
