the all aussie dribble thread!

[rogue60]

Thought I'd share two failures you don't see everyday.
1st up oldest 066 we own that is still running that is and I honestly could not add up the hrs this saw has done put it this way a hell of a lot of hrs on this saw! Anyway bucking logs yesterday saw hits max revs in the cut and chain stops turning and immediately think snapped crank? (seen done that once B4 on a ms660) turn saw over for a look c and all looks good WTF?! so pull it apart and found this clutch carrier/spider all like shat it self!.. but got hell of a good run out of it and it was well past its used by date as you can see (pics)...
2nd failure few weeks ago when it was still running (useable B4 the stud thing) ms661 in the cut bit of crunching noises and **** and chain stops hmm WTF? lol as you can see .404 rim exploded into bits! even the old man said hes never seen a rim do that B4 only split in half when he was running 090's but never he seen one like this? as you can see (pics)....
Hope you guys have ya fires already cranking for a cold weekend! we might even get snow here Monday so they say awesome NOT ! ha...

That's the way my old 076 used spit out rim sprockets when it was finished with them.

Mad kitties **** that

 

[KiwiBro]

I bet they have a few stories to tell the grandkids.

Give it another generation or two and people will be outlawed for safety reasons and all the future generations will have are videos to show how things actually got done back in the day. Without the videos and photos, I wonder if future generations would even believe grandpa.

Hard to tell on the bench but looks like they don't have water on the saw? and he's not using a gauge timber sizes will be all over the place must just be fencing grade? he's using the white marks on the trolley for sizes to speed things up no pulling the pin on a gauge you do that only when cutting like fencing grade you get good at it and close to on size but no good for building grade timber..
Crazy not running a real guard over the top of the saw they do have one but its a joke sitting up that high doing nothing! many men over the years have died when the the saw picks up timber and throws it at the benchman,having the top of the saw exposed like that is a no no if ya want to live that is. I've seen sleeper size timber get thrown 20m out the back of the mill many times over the years when **** goes wrong you only need something to get in behind the knife for the saw to pick it up, but lucky that kind of bench is no longer in use much the benchman stands to the side on newer benches.Ive used the same kind of brest bench as in the vid for many years benching and tailoring out thank **** we don't have that old junk any more haha..
And old mate needs more strip sticks in he's drying packs,the timber will dry all wavy with them that far apart..

I like the tractor saw, does he not worry about the saw eating dirt?

 

[skipster]

its all sand up that way by the look of it.
I dont think these guys worry too much about anything.......

Not sure what the name of that thing is its like a buzzsaw on the end tractor never seen one like that before myself, there using it to break the logs down to put over the bench generally the billet will be sitting on runners about a foot up off the ground but yeah I was thinking the same must be close to hitting the dirt or in the dirt? billets seem to be sitting on the dirt WTF? and would be costly who knows the cost of tungsten teeth now days $20+ for one tooth fitted?...
Interesting how they loaded the logs that's how they used to do it in the old days generally with a bullock team not so lucky to have a 4x4 winch, then when machines got in the bush that could push dirt they pushed up loading ramps and could push logs up onto the trucks big ass logs to back then..
Keep your eye open in timber country you can still spot the mounds of dirt pushed up for loading ramps on old dumps the big old hollow logs used to make the ramp are mostly gone fire and what not but the mounds of dirt are still there in some places...

There's a mill in the next town that has a 20t of excavator with a saw on a rock saw cutting head for breaking down big logs.
A old timer over the next valley cut down a F,in big tallowwood, he couldn't snig it with a D8 so he built a road to it, dug a long trench next to the log, parked the jinker in it & rolled the logs onto the truck.

Would be cool to see a video it operating see if they will let ya get a vid of it?
We started out cutting railway sleepers with a buzzsaw then the old man build a bench then we just used the buzzsaw to break down logs, then he build breaking down saw ect ect.. You start out poor and working very hard but slowly get better and better gear over the years...

Yeah I've seen the trench thing on old dumps in the hills had to ask the old man what the hell are they for? yeah pushing big ass logs onto jinkers..

They were renowned for killing blokes, the saw would pinch in the cut, kick upwards, catch the operator under the chin with the handles, knock them out , then run over them when the blade hit the ground, the blokes that survived always had looser belts & balanced heavier at the engine end.
