When i first tried starting my new 372 I couldn't get it started with the decomp pressed in. I carefully pulled it back out and it started up after letting it sit for a while after I had flooded it. Since then I havent pressed the decomp. Maybe once it reaches full compression after breaking...

Bought a 372 instead.

I had one fall in my yard. Made a large table and some benches for outdoor eating area. Just rough cut them with my saw because I don't have a mill. Not perfect but they should last a good long time.

Thats when the axe gets real angry right?

I learned from an old timer to take the knife edge off my axe and it seems to last much longer betweeen filings for splitting. Hard to describe but I run my file perpendicular to the axe first so that it doesnt have a very thin edge that is prone to roll over. Then file normally to get it...

The best method I found to clean to glass was to wet a paper towel, and dip it in some ash from the stove. The ash works as a slight abrasive to scrub the tough stuff. Then I would do a final cleaning with just a slightly wet paper towel. Since I've been burning drier wood and hotter fires...

Looking for some info how others typically run their stove. Assuming you aren't starting the fire but reloading it. What are the general details of how you burn. Things such as: How low do you let the temp get before you reload? Wait till its down to coals or something that still...

Nice score! Are those carbide drills?

The little I use manual machines, I tend to rough out cranking the handles. Then do the finish passes using power feed. If you know the tool/material limits well you can remove alot of material quickly manually feeding.

Get a 6" steel rule. One of my most used tools as a machinist. Gives you a quick rough measurement for things like checking if the tool sticking out long enough for a bore. HF has them for $2-$3 or so.

I think its extra important to get that wood off the ground with the barn right there. 50% of the rain that lands on the barn will fall down and be at the base of the woodpile.

It was an april fools joke ad a few years ago. Dont remember where it originated. Still pretty funny

Never measure to see how big the pile really is, but is 100% craigslist scores. Have another few pallets of fresh split getting sun in another part of the yard. All split with an X27, and hauled with that wheel barrow. Small odds and ends

Fuel line was the problem. Only this section was damaged, Im assuming from the difference in vibration from engine and fuel tank. Replaced the fuel filter while I was at the dealer. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the quick replies. Im thinking it could be fuel filter, since its a cheap part I wont mind replacing it even if it isn't bad. I pulled the filter and blew into the fuel line and didn't seem to leak, but im sure that didn't mean much. The fuel line still curled up in the tank. My...

I've got an older, maybe around 2000 model year 346xp. It has cut good for me for about a year now, but I went to help a friend with a willow tree today that need cutting down and after a while it wont stay running. I cut for about 2 hours with no problems, screamed like normal and then...

Most grow like a lilac bush, lots of small suckers. I kill the suckers because its in a confined area. The main branch is about 35 years old. Grows about 15ft tall. Definite unique smell and sap in the wood.

Mine gets full sun, so lots of new growth every year.

He said cloud like balls. Im definetly calling this smokebush now, like I did earlier in the thread.

May sound crazy but im gonna go with a mature smokebush on this one. likely osage though.
