Howdy, I did some work on a saw you own, or did own. When I did the work, I ground through the case on it. When I did that, I put some JB weld over the hole, cleaned it up a little, packaged it up, and mailed it off to a third party. There is a bunch of stuff in the middle, but gossip...

I've spent the past 2 weeks delivering 60 cords of split firewood. My dump trailer holds 3 cords loose pretty easily, but most customers want one cord. So, I load a cord at the yard, deliver it, return to the yard. sometimes i deliver to two customers only a block away from each other, but...

The sparky plug goes bang. cylinder pressures go way up, combustion gas temps go way up, pushing the piston down. eventually the exhaust port opens, and some of the exhaust gasses go running out into the muffler. How much of the exhaust gas goes out? Well it depends on the pressure...

squish means different things to different people, but in general squish is the narrow band between the top of the piston and the head. if you have too wide of a squish, then you are leaving "free" horsepower on the table. If you get too narrow of squish, the piston can hit the head, and...

i want to build a saw to win some competitios. does anyone post to this site that is known to win competitions????

the sled boys have been trying for years. in the strict sense a turbocharger is a supercharger, and they are dead easy. lots and lots of them out there. aerocharger is pretty famous cuz they don't need a pressurized oil system to keep the bearings alive. for a belt driven superchargeron...

i've got a couple of 7900's. i keep tweaking them back and forth. One is a rev'er up special, the other is a wider powerband torque monster. One of the things I did very early on was to switch to an 8 pin wheel, fwiw. So, we cut firewood. there is a lot of dirt and rocks in it, but i'm...

fall is here. been working on the project for the past week. Learned lots of invaluable lessons (read "broke a lot of ???? and paid guys to fix it without any profit") do not use a cutting edge off of a road grader as any part of a log splitter. It looks tough, it is indeed really hard, but...

been working on and off on my processor since last January. Today got enough leaks plugged up, fuel system fixed, electrical hooked up, and hydraulics redone for the second time. The splitter cycles an 18 inch stroke in 7 seconds. This with a 4 inch ram. The pressure relief is set at 2100...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130126770414&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=003 finally got time to work on it tonight. tore it down, and was happily surprised. when i took it apart, the summer/winter shutter was set on winter. this means it sucks hot air into the carb...

I want a saw to put on the back of my motorcycle for trail clearing. small bodied would be nice. light is very important. I want to put an 18 or 20 inch bar on it. I'm thinking one of the saws the guys that climb trees use. My thought was to run full skip chain. suggestions or...

Hi, I want to cut/split 200 cords of wood in June, dry it in July/August/September, and sell it in December. Space is limited somewhat, so imagine it will end up in a huge pile, no more then 10 feet tall. How do I dry the bottom of the pile???? My thought was to dig some trenches...

i want to buck logs for a firewood processor. chain or band????? goal is a 15 inch log in 5 seconds. wood is fir/pine, so fairly soft. unlimited horsepower. i know i cna do it with a chain. Can it be done easier with a band????

Today I got a "free" husky saw. A guy owes me money, and showed up with it as a parital payment. on the little plate is says 4801 below it says 085147 what is it?????

A week ago I got a new 7900. Very impressed so far. My helpers set it down and a log rolled over it bending the compression release and breaking the plastic on the cover, so she's not a virgin no more. My helpers also took the rakers down some. Like there is little raker left. So today I...

WEIRD situation. I bought a bunch of firewood at a landing, and all of a sudden the state is giving me and the loggers a bunch of junk about all of us being out of there in a week. So, I am cutting firewood out of a landing while the loggers are still there loading trucks. make a long...

my 800 cc snowmobile motor came from teh factory with 150 horsepower. My 80 cc saw motor came from teh factory with 6.3 horsepower. The math doesn't make sense. How come saw motors are so inherently weak???? Diminishing return and 2 stroke theory says small motors shoudl make a lot more...
