Starting my overflow stacks

The Track-hoe was parked next to the fuel barrels and I crawled up for a wood pile shot. I HOPE this is good for the winter. For once it would be nice to worry about working out and cocktails this winter and not cutting wood. I told the neighbor to keep the wood coming though. Let's make hay while it is nice.

Lol, not hardly.

I wish I had a wood stash like some others on here.

A couple more stacks I am working on, should be right about 5 cord in the two of them.

Here is one of my work areas, this cement pad makes loading a breeze,here im loading my dump trailer with the old Michican loader,kinda hard to hold the phone and run the loader,did the best I could.....it takes about 3 heaps of the 3 yard bucket to load the 7x14x3 trailer....this wood was all blow downs form a real bad july afternoon thunderstorm that brought wind gusts over 90 mph...we lost 5 mature oak trees over 36" dbh..simply uprooted them rootball and all. I have more wood videos,like and subscribe if you like them,thanks.

LOL, Yep, that's just my 228 models some dating back to the 1940's. I restore old Coleman lanterns as a hobby,,,much more affordable than chainsaws!! I have over 40 of 'em.

Oh man. I threw a few away that were gunked up inside. I'd have happily given them to you if I knew!

That's how I have came across most of 'em..beat up, run down and broken..kinda' cool they have a "metering rod" which sits under the main valve going into the fuel tank and the generator/atomiser,,the fuel tube going up between the mantles(socks) can most times be re-built. I've converted a couple to run on a kerosene blend.

We like the red, one mantle model (not sure which number) for canoe camping because it puts out almost as much light as a dual mantle but uses much less fuel.

One of my favorites too, the 200 model. This one was pretty rough when I got it, I'm not the best at painting but hope my efforts have bought this old boy another 40+ years of bringing Sunshine to the Night..This model is also very forgiving of abuse and easily converts to burn straight kero.

Sounds awesome. We have an old Clark loader but I don't understand why the buckets are shaped like they are. Maybe so you can't pick up too much dirt but for wood etc. It would be sweet if it could hold more because you know it can handle it.

Need hearing protection in that thing!
