Just want to say my Riteway model 37 is purring like a new one once again. Did a major overhaul this fall. Want to thank the person on this site who put me on to parts for the old girl. Thanks to November Wolf and TreeCo for the links to repair parts. Looking forward to 20 or so more years...

folk lore My father taught me to split wood as it grew, mall to hit top of the round

Geek Thanks LANNY I haven't been called a geek in a long time, and yes I consider it a complement. AOD I don't like VAV much either, really prefer face and bypass but the almighty dollar may have condemned them.

stake pockets Make sure they will drain, water as well as saw chips and debris

PID loop AOD wrote: PID = Proportional Integral Derivative, I think, it's a type of feedback loop used for digital building and HVAC control systems, more specifically, the turd of a system that's known as Johnson Controls Metasys. How I love to hate writing that code. And an "A" for you as...

Best saw I'm with Bowtechmadman sorta, its the Homelite with the sharpest chain

splitting sycamore Don't split it across the middle, just slab it around till its small enough to burn the center round. (In 14 years of formal schooling English is the only class I flunked)

firewood length I cut 22 for my riteway 37, got a 22 inch piece of broomstick and a can of orange marking paint. Everything fits in the splitter and firewood stacks so much nicer when it is all the same length. Drop a tree and dear wife has it marked by the time I'm ready to start cutting. A...

32 x 1 I run 32 to 1 in everything with no problems, my attitude is if it wont live on 32 to 1 it ain't much of a saw

Schrader valve How about a regular tire valve with an external spring, just clip the spring off, works fine.

connector tube If the fuel check valve is gone the oil one is probably gone as well, at least in the bottom of the oil tank. The connector looks like a piece of poroze bronze about 1/8 in diameter and 1/4 inch long, really easy to miss in the crud in the bottom of the oil tank. They are hard...

block advantage Simple way to caculate mechanical advantage is count the lines going to load block, ie 3 lines = 3 to 1 advantage.

bar guage I think bar gauge is like trailer hitch balls, nobody has ever been able to give me a viable reason for 1 7/8 and 2 inch balls. how much deference can 1/8 of an inch make or conversely 5 or 8 thousands of an inch on a chain saw bar

transformers If you have one of the small plug in transformers, go to walMart and by a little surge suppresor and plug it in ahead of the transformer, it will save the transformer a lot of the time and they are only about $3.50 or $4.

iron pipe liner You can do a iron pipe liner in 4 or 5 foot sections from a basement if you cut one side of chimney open. I bought new pipe because I couldn't find used 7 inch. The supplier cut and beveled the ends for welding no charge. Just raise the first section up and weld another under...

B&S and Honda Funny I would take the Honda off and throw in ditch and put on a B&S, to each his own.

7 inch flue Mine is 29 foot from top to bottom. I had a chimney fire that damaged original 9x9 clay liner. The second floor of my house was unfinished so I cut one side out of the chimney and knocked all the clay liner out. Then bought three 9 foot lengths of 7 inch and a 3 foot piece to...

nice job Something can be said for making it a joy to look at as well. I take it from what looks to be a temp control valve on the garage sub loop that it is radiant floor heat? What temp water do you have to the floor? As others have said very professional looking job.
