You meant the dead mint one lolol. No but can try to get one sometime. The guy has a list of fellas wanting to buy it!Pictures !?
My 2001 Sportsman has the original belt as well.There are belt drives and there are belt drives, Yamaha's are waaaaaaay above the others in that regard, and mine has never failed me in ANY way, it always works perfectly for the situation and Yamahas belt last about forever.
My 600 Grizzly from the 90's still has the original belt and it still works perfectly.

Back when belts was belts!!My 2001 Sportsman has the original belt as well.
I'm the same with my late model Dodge...I've got the 72 k20 and a 71 k2500 GMC, I really like the simplicity and style of the older trucks, but the Dodge is a much better work truck. Everything about it is just beefier, tows/hauls infinitely better, stops better, power doesn't even compare, all the while much more comfortable.I have two Chevy square body pu's, but I wouldn't trade my 2018 Silverado even up for a brand NEW square body, NO way NO how!

That’s what I use.I'm liking this super clean for getting everything degreased before sharpening.
Yep have grown to love it myself. Real tuff on grease but not paint!!That’s what I use.

Man, I feel stupid.
Trying to get a bunch of wood cut up and stacked for the wife because there is a good chance I will be gone for a few weeks for work. Running my 372xp with 28” bar and was time for a new chain. I was getting ready to pull out the roll of chain when I came across a few old chains of my dads.
Now, ever since I was a teenager I’ve run full house. My dad always ran skip, and I always thought it was dumb. We have small soft wood, my saws have no trouble pulling full house.
These chains were 32” and square ground slip tooth oregon, which is what the old man ran logging so I’m sure these are some of his old chains. They were pretty dull, so I cut a few kinks out to fit my 28” bar, and threw them on the grinder. Files the rakers with my well worn husky guage that gets them down about .035” where I like them.
Man does this skip tooth CUT. The saw sounds the same, but this chain is definitely smoother cutting and not any slower cutting then full house. Big chips, fast cutting and now I feel stupid for sharpening twice as many teeth as I needed to my whole life.
Hickory is stronger than Ash and is preferred for axe and sledgehammer handles.
So let me get this straight. This company is using this oil in the gas mix for 2 strokes and for bar oil?I know we're all a frugal bunch here. Just saw this. 99 cents a gallon,German quality, mix AND bar oil.

Probably true among professional leagues, but various alloys make up the vast majority of baseball bats manufactured today. For that matter, same for softball too.Today, more baseball bats are made out of maple than anything else.

In the wood shop, ash is infinitely easier to work. Hickory will put your tools to the test!Hickory is stronger than Ash and is preferred for axe and sledgehammer handles.
However, Ash is lighter and very strong, so it was generally preferred for baseball bats (both were used). Ditto rake and shovel handles, etc.
Plus, until the Emeral Ash Bore, Ash was more abundant than Hickory.
I love those old trucks.
