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.

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.

Saved the day for me!

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.

AI should be required to have a disclaimer. Or banned. Or I should brush bandit my phone...

Are you on the moon? :/:

I just have to put the sheet metal on.

I just met with the guy with the deep cycle batteries. They are mine, I just have to haul them home. 24, 6 volt batteries from his off grid solar setup. Now I'm looking for a controller to use then as grid tied backup for the house.

I made good progress on the tractor today, despite frozen fingers. One of the battery nuts was seized, I've never seen that before. Now the stud just spins in the battery.

Sadly, at least in my area, there is so much demand for tree work, that anybody with a little motivation can get by on the less technical jobs. Some of these guys start growing faster than their knowledge should allow. There is also the money factor. That could usage been a $5,000 tree from an...

I'm primarily cutting logs to make timbers. I've been burned many times by huge open face cuts. Pull an extra six inches of tape if you are going to do that. Humboldt eliminates that issue.

Mulberry, Osage orange, a black locust all are fluorescent under a uv light. I think they share other properties as well.
