    Old saw worth?

    I've got a 37 year old Montgomery Ward (Remington) chain saw that a collector wants to buy. I have no idea what to ask for this saw. BTW, I cannot get it started, but I think the carburetor probably needs work on it. Other than missing a chain, the saw is complete with the manual. What...

    When's the last time the oil/gas man delivered to your tank?

    The last time I bought fuel oil it was 17 cents a gallon. So, you do the math, it had to be about 40 years ago. However, last fall finally I installed a backup gas fired boiler and so the installers had used a little natural gas to test the boiler. Up to this point in time the only heat I...

    Wood Splitter Building Questions.

    If you want to build a splitter that you can use horizontally or vertically then you have to put the wedge on the ram and the "foot" on the end of the beam.

    Wood furnace in a "Manufactured Home" Basement

    Probably one reason wood stoves are not approved for mobile homes is because of the "stigma" that is associated with some of the people who live in trailer homes. The stove manufacturer probably is afraid that the home owner will just run a smoke pipe out the wall and burn the trailer home...

    is a 2000lb winch good for anything?

    Before you buy any of these small portable winches, check out the retrieval speed on them. I picked up a 2K winch at a garage sale and it is so slow that you have to start pulling early in the morning if you want to get done by supper time. But having said that, it does get the job done and a...

    New to the site and new to wood burning

    Welcome to the "group". But, we forewarned there are some on the board who will enjoy feeding you a bunch of BS along the way! :biggrin: Back when I was a young man and only had a bunch of elm to cut and burn, I used to split the stuff with a single bladed axe. Just put the round on the...

    anyone selling a trailer with grapple

    Too bad you didn't post this about 3 weeks ago. There was one to fit your requirements for sale right next to me. But, then again it would have been quite a "tow" or "haul" from central Wisconsin to PA!

    My new wood hauler.

    Well, I was a Chevy man before it became "Government Motors". Besides I'm a EAA member and Ford has a "Partner Recognition" program with EAA I got a darned good deal on a Ford. (I also got the deal on a Mazda that the wife drives and a JD lawnmower a bunch of years ago.) No it's a F250...

    My new wood hauler.

    It has the 10,000 GVWR package plus the snow plow package for the front. Part of the problem comes from the wood beyond the axle was somewhat wet and heavy.

    My new wood hauler.

    Well, it isn't a dedicated wood hauler, I've got it to haul "stuff" and fire wood is part of the stuff. I've got the 6.2L gas engine and according to the on board computer I was getting about 16.3 mpg with this load in the haul/tow mode. What I do have a problem with is nose bleeds from...

    My new wood hauler.

    Don't worry about that! I blame it on how easy it is to post pictures with this new forum software. When I posted the message I could see the picture. Oh well, look at the bright side, maybe the Police cannot see the truck either and I will not get picked up for speeding.

    Log splitter design ?

    Why go through all that to harden the edge. What are you planning on splitting, rocks or steel rods? Don't forget you are splitting WOOD.

    Log splitter design ?

    Come on now!! NO ONE will ever use the splitter enough to wear that slide enough that it would bind or get slivers under it. Even if you get slivers or bark under the slide, so what? It's just wood and will add to the lubrication along with the ants, grubs, and tree sap. If your ram shaft...

    When it goes wrong, ALL WRONG!

    I'm sure everyone will agree with me when I say that I'm happy that you and your little helper didn't get hurt. You will probably think of this every time you take a tree down from this day forward. I had a similar thing happen to me years ago. The tree (an elm.) was on the ground, the...
