    Milled my first lumber today!

    I bought a used Cook's AC-36 the week after Thanksgiving, but I've been sick with a bad cold/sinus infection. I finally felt up to getting some logs and trying the mill out yesterday and things didn't go so well. We were right at dark getting set up and it just didn't work out. I would start...

    My new 12 year old Cook's AC-36

    I went to the bank yesterday and withdrew the cash for the sawmill. It was dark by the time we got it broke down and ready to haul to the In-Law. It's a 2005 model, has plywood doors, a 27HP Kohler engine, it only has a single toe board, a single log dog, no De-barker, and a manual guide...

    Just shook hands on a Cooks AC-36 Bandsaw Mill

    I think I'm the proud owner of a 10+ year old Cooks AC-36 Bandsaw Mill. I'm supposed to go back Monday, after moving some funds around at the Bank and pick it up. Then I'll head over to Cooks Saw Mfg and pick up some blades. This deal needs to go better than the one in SC for a 2016 LT40...

    Going to Dothan to look at the Cooks HD 3238

    I've got the loan for a saw, so payments start Dec 5th. I know that WMizer has the marketshare, name recognition, and resale value. However, there are somethings that I like better about the Cooks saws. No electronics, or electric motors, every WM saw seems to develop issues if they sit for...

    Wood Mizer seller backed out!

    Yes, I spent 3-4 hours on the phone with James last week. Finally agreed to the 28K he was asking for the LT40 WM saw. So I spent half the day at the bank Fri afternoon being interrogated. Loan was approved, I called James to tell him I would be up the next morning. He said he had good news...

    A couple of Wood Mizer questions.

    I'll be going up to get my 2016 LT40 WM on Tuesday. Just wondering about a couple of things. Does anyone know what size ball the trailer hitch is? I'm hoping 2 5/16", I can't seem to find my 2". Do they use a 5 lug or 6 lug spare and do they usually come with one. I'll check with the...

    Wish me Luck!

    I'm going to look at a 2016 WoodMizer LT40 on Saturday. She's got all the bells and whistles. Trying to make a partial trade with either one of my 2004 Harley Davidson Powerstroke 4X4 136K miles and about $10K worth of aftermarket parts, or 2006 XLT Powerstroke 4X4 98K miles. Wish me luck guys.

    Husqvarna 350 blowing bar oil

    I recently rebuilt a 350 by putting a new cylinder and piston kit in it, and crank bearings and seals. It has been sitting in the garage for several years, and I had forgotten that it was also leaking bar oil. I also did some porting and some other mods with the help of Weimedog and Mattyo's...

    Husqvarna 570 questions

    I just finished rebuilding my Husqvarna 350 with lots of help from Mattyo and Weimiedog's Youtube channels. I also got bitten real bad by the chainsaw bug. I have the 350, that I ported a replacement cylinder, and did a complete rebuild including taking .050" off the bearing housing. Then I...
