check this out. I thought i would post this here in case anyone was interested. I just happened to see it on there while brousing. http://saginaw.craigslist.org/grd/961940769.html

I work at a diesel truck engine plant. The new engines come of the line and go directly to a dyno. They are warmed up for a few minutes and then at FULL load for about 10 min. Then they cool them down and ship them out the door. Some of the off highway type engines get run at rated load for...

Hey, radoutdoors what part of Michigan are you from?

I cut down a dead elm tree last winter that was full of bees. I ended up bringing a big piece home then i had a beekeeper come to my hose this spring to look at them. He took the log home with him after stapling metal screen over the openings. Then he managed to transfer the bees into a actual...

I have 2 wood burners. My small stove has a catalytic combustor and i don't really have to clean that one. I have to clean the cap occasionally that’s about it. The double wall insulated pipe also helps keep it clean. Then i have a large woodstove in the basement. It has a stainless pipe ran...

I ran Amsoil 100:1 mix in my honda 250R 4-wheeler for a few years with no issues. I mostly used it because everyone i knew thought it would burn it up right away. So it was pretty much to prove a point. I have been thinking about using in in all my 2 stroke stuff around the house. But it is...

This is my 94 chevy 2500 4x4 loaded with oak last winter. We had to lift those chunks up there with a loader tractor they were too heavy to lift.

A few years ago I was on vacation in Tennessee. My Grandma has a cabin down there in the mountains near North Carolina. In her yard there were a few pine trees that fell. She asked me if I would cut them up for her. She had already cut up the small stuff with a cheap electric chainsaw. (Keep in...

Oil is oil. it is all refined and mixed into the types of oil we need. Hydraulic oil is very simple oil. Engine oil has additives that engines require. ATF has additives that transmissions need. The hydraulic system of a log splitter does not require these additves it just needs oil. I was...

Another thing i forgot to mention. There would be no problem mixing any of these oils. All of these kinds of oils mix. ATF, 10W, Trans-Hyd, even engine oils. If you need to add some oil and only had 10W-30 around, it would work fine. I have had 10w-30 in the powersteering of my pickup...

There would be no advantage of using ATF over a standard 10w hydraulic oil. ATF costs a lot more $. A log splitter is about as simple of a hydraulic system as you can get. Almost any kind of oil would work fine in a splitter. Most heavy equipment that has islolated hydralic systems with gear...

I have been using woodsman pro chains for 2 years now. I like it a lot. I have always used Stihl prior to that. I switch between the 2 all the time as i sharpen them. The only real difference i notice is that the stihl chain seems to stay sharper longer, but it is pretty expensive. For the price...

[ Your not quick enough to the throttle to unlock it. lol I don't think free revving a 2 stroke with no load is nearly as bad for it as it tring to turn the locked clutch on start up. That is hard on the clutch and engine when it's cold. Reving a cold engine with no load is not as...

Is the resistance of the weight even close to the resistance that would be input from an alert operator. If its not the test is really only showing us the potential of kickback if the saw was let go or loosly held in a kickback situation. I'm not saying the test isn't a vauleable lesson. It just...

Oregon Engineer, does that test rig provide any resistance to the rotation of the saw? Or does it allow it to pivot on its center of gravity with little resistance? I think if the operator had a weak grip on the saw and it was pulled from his/her hands that is what it would look like...

i have a 192T, i really like it. The first day i ran it i thought it was gutless. It took at least 10 tanks of gas before it really broke in. Now it screams. It does everything i ask. As long as the chain is sharp i think it cuts plenty fast. I have never ran a 200 so i can't compare. I used...

Is that clear saw a joke or are they really going to make that available? I think that is very cool. I would buy that in a second. Have you guys seen snowmobiles with clear hoods.. they look cool too.

Who would anyone want 20 of those crappy screwdrivers? That is crazy. I'll bet if you went to any dealer they would give you some for free.

I bought my MS 460 on ebay. It was in like new condition. And it was a local seller. I bought it, paid for it and then drove 45 min to go pick it up. It was just as described. Fired right up. I would bet the saw had less then 10 hours on it. It had the origional bar and the paint was barley...

I don't know why people insist on holding onto stuff they don't use? Do you guys still have every vechicle you have ever owned sitting in your yard???? :confused: :confused: :confused: Think about it this way. It can either sit on the shelf and collect dust, or i can sell it to somone...
