So whadja do today?

[Stumper]

Arggh.... Today we pulled the tranny and clutch on the chip truck. 50mph wind gusts so it wouldn't have been a good day in the trees. The clutch should be in in the morning but my buddy and I are going to dive into the tranny and see if we can figure out why it is jumping out of second (bad syncronizer?). I hate playing mechanic but don't have the dollars going into winter to turn the truck center mechanics loose on it. I may be back to the 3/4 ton and the small chipper for a few days.

Butch, Why on earth were you guys using a crane on that tree? Sheesh! That was a cake walk for one guy. Climb it . Piece it. Dump the spar and clean up-And all that only if you couldn't just lay it down in one piece(Can't see everything in the pic.)
