Northman- the windstorm hit your area? Something like that mean more work for you, or just the tree service folks?

Take advantage of the student card while you've still got it to play. There's no shortage of foresters around the Missoula area. As madhatte said, they represent many facets of the profession. It doesn't hurt to call someone up and play the card. A student wanting to meet for coffee and ask some...

Craig Sparrow is a bit of an odd fella, but he's straight and only business. He and his brother own Western Equipment & Truck in Greeley. http://www.wetrucks.com/ He buys and sells all over the country. I doubt he's got a self loader in his yard, but I'm certain he can get one for you

Nice bike tramp. A fat tire setup has had me thinking along the lines of hunting access for the past year or so. We've got so much being gates here... I think it would come in handy

I've got all the goodies you need in my box of bike parts. I remember those days of freeriding. I lived on the Island then, and my wife was from Nelson. I was riding the best BC had to offer. "Northshore" meant something different than a Hawaii surf mecca I've still got an old Brodie Holeshot...

Are you suggesting the PA DCNR requires it's timber management foresters to take a GOL course? If you're looking for a certified saw class to boost your (basic) skills and employment potential, I suggest finding an NWCG accredited training center and take an S-212 wildland chainsaw class.

In case I missed the sarcasm in your rhetoric- The OP's referencing a chainsaw safety training and operating course called Game Of Logging (as Northman said, terrible name).... not the general profession being a game of certification standards

It's that kind of thing that had me figuring the filter would cook. If the power head is that close to whip the log up, then that's some hot air coming in through the filter

Perhaps the answer is pretty straight forward... but do air filters just get nuked when the saw is running that close to burning or smoldering trees? I'd think that the hot air being drawn by the intake would melt the filter element?

Thanks for the info- and I'll try and track down Pioneerguy600

So.... here's where I'm at with this still- I've got part numbers for the piston, piston kit etc. Don't need that info. Still searching for an OEM piston. I've gleaned that the Poulan 525 is near identical. My question- if I find a 525 piston is it the same as whats on this P52 I've got (P52CBW...

Thanks for the info. I'll try to source a P52 piston before I go looking for an intact P62 then. Anyone have any details regarding a piston? I've got a part number... is there a Poulan model that will have the same piston, or a recommended aftermarket option? Thanks

Pioneer/Partner P52 A buddy brought me this saw and said can you get it running? Among other things, what I need right now is a new piston and rings. Should I try to bump him up to the P62 jug, or does that that require some modification/machining? So, anyone have something kicking around. Can...

This isn't in a parade, but it is from the Darrington photo archive. Comes with the following caption: Postcard of an enormous old growth Douglas fir log on a log truck with three men posed for the photo. Remarks on back identifies the men as left to right: Jim Reece, Henry Brown and Earl...

Here's what's on Husky's site

Anyone know anything about the Spencer tapes from across the pond? Are they mfd' at JA Gadd, or just the distributor (can't find any details on the google)? If mfd', then maybe they're not plastic gears...?

Reported a fire here yesterday, stump burning across the river. Local VFD had it snuffed out in an hour or so

I worked on one of the Chessman Flume projects a few years ago... glad those guys weren't in the vicinity at the time

This has to do with stages of succession- the natural plant community establishment and change over time following a disturbance (like fire, land conversion, clear-cut, major wind event, etc.) Early plant/tree establish'ers are called the seral (pioneer) species, and the ones that establish much...

Not sure if Craig is still a distributor for Nokka products, but here's something they put together a few years ago- From their webpage: "Nokka loader mounted on the back of a trailer. We prefer to mount the loader at this station as it is farther from the truck and closer to the work. It will...
