I stack my firewood via homemade metal racks and metals cages I grabbed from menards. It is just a hodge podge of a set up and I'm looking for something nicer. Tried pallets...plastic pallets too but was not much of a fan of them. I am looking at 12" wide guardrail in 26ft lengths...

Hello, As the title says. My evergreens are being over run with mulberry suckers etc. Will my FS120 handle a brushcutter blade to cut these out? What blade and do I need an adaptor kit? Stihls web site does not list my model for blade types Brian

I am not a pro gardener like some folks here. Living in Iowa I just till my ground, plant my seeds from packets in rows, water and keep the weed pressure down. For the last 3 to 4 years I can not get carrots to grow. Before that I would harvest 5 to 10 gal buckets worth. Nothing else in...

I have a couple of spruce trees where the top half of the tree broke off. Beside the ugly view will these survive or do I need to cut them down. The trees are 15 to 20 yrs old and about 12 to 15" diameter.

I bought a used trimmer this weekend. I had no trouble starting it the day I bought it and when I got home that day but the next day I had trouble getting it to start. After pulling a bunch of times on choke/hitting fuel prime bulb 4 or 5 times the spark plug is still dry. I got it to...

Hello I have a straight shaft John Deere trimmer that I purchased in 2000. The gas cap cracked and I need a replacement. The model, I think, is TS-103 or something close. Can anyone tell me which one I need? A search doesn't turn up my model.

I have a new woodland pro WPL 20 23RC81 .325 0.063 gauge chain I would like to trade for a new 20" .325 full chisel chain for dad's stihl ms290 saw. His has a dull safety chain on it and I have this one chain not being used so I am looking for a trade. Thanks Brian

I have a couple of problems with my 550xp. I know one fix is probably easy but the other has me concerned. First the throttle does not return very easy so to get the saw to slow down I have to use my fingers to pull the trigger back out of the handle. Does the cable need some lube or is...

The canopy displays that sit on the ledge at the menards store are on clearance, ranging $20 to 75 in price. They would be perfect for stacking firewood under. My store is Fort dodge IA not sure if the other stores are doing this clearance.

Hello, I have a 30-36" elm that has died and I need to cut it down. The large silver maple and hackberry (both in the 36" dia range) that I have cut down before had a trunk that was more circular. This elm is like my scribble in the picture. Do I treat it differently then a circular trunk...

I saw a CL ad for a cheap 50lb can of 1/8 7018 welding rods. A small father/son heavy equipment outfit is selling out so they said look around. I did and came home with a complete red XL923 with 24" bar/chain plus a can of rods. Once I walked out I knew I shouldn't have bought the saw...

On my log splitter build I would like to build a cable winch crane to pick up the large pieces, 20" L x 36in dia max. I have gone back and forth...log lift or crane....log lift or crane. I have decided crane so I can have both sides of the splitter open. Wedge is on the beam and opposite...

Really stupid question most likely. Trying to extend the ram on my new 5x24 $199 cylinder to set up the pusher and cylinder mount spacing. How do you do it with out hoses/hyd fluid? Compressed air? Come along between tree and bumper? Thanks Brian

Not sure if this is the right spot but have a JD180 mower that dad had the transaxle rebuilt but didn't finish putting the thing back together. I have the electric clutch off and I'm ready to put the new drive belt on but have no idea how it goes. The web has not been much help unless I...

I have my 16hp BS engine off the mower to power my splitter. Unlike most mower shaft pulleys mine just slid off with the tap from a hammer. Could you put a keyed 5/8" sleeve in the bolt end of this pulley and connect directly to the pump from the engine instead of using a lovejoy? Too much...

Hello, Purchased a former light blue school suburban with 79k and the motor is 350 TBI. Of course the test drive, the 90mile drive home and 3 or 4 trips to town it ran good. Idle did seem to be a bit high though. Then it rained one night and I could not get it to start in the morning...

Dad's 99 Tahoe spun a bearing so being a nice kid I told him I would help him put in a new engine. Finally get the crate motor in with tranny and hook up the transfer case. We put the crossmember where it should be and we are 2 1/4 inches or so short for the tranny mount to line up with the...
