I am having problems with my Speeco splitter engine. The last time I was running it, it died and I had a hard time getting it started again. It kept flooding and I would have to pull the plug because it was so wet. Today I used some starting fluid and it popped right over. After about five...

I’m looking for 1-2 cords of seasoned wood. Every year, my parents say it’s their last year of burning and every year they let me know around this time tha they are going to use the stove again this year. I don’t have enough wood for them so if anyone wants to sell any, please contact me. Thanks...

My father taught me so much in life. I learned mechanics while holding the flashlight at age 5. I learned farming and hunting at age 10. When I was a hockey player he taught me that it's ok to lose if you gave it everything you had to give, and to always learn something from the loss. He has...

And I have to say that I don't hate it! I know there have been a few reports of how crappy the welds were and that it bent after several uses, but I gambled the money because I have LOTS of ash to split. Most of it is 6"-12" dia. It's like any tool you buy, you have to know its limitations. The...

Once again, my dad is running short of firewood and it falls to me to try nd find it. Is anyone selling or know someone willing to sell a cord of well seasoned wood? One of these years I will get him a few years ahead..... Dave

My wife and I lease retail space not far from our home .While standing out the back door one day I noticed 7 big ash trees which were in various stages of dying due to EAB.(we are at the epicenter of the quarantine here in SE Wisconsin.) I mentioned in passing to the landlord that I'd love to...

Is anyone selling, or know someone who is selling seasoned hardwood in SE Wisconsin? I'm looking for a cord or two to help augment my supply for this winter. Please email me at davej_07 and that's at yahoo dot com. Thanks in advance, Dave

A few days ago, while taking my dogs for a walk, my neighbor stopped me and asked me to stop over when I was finished with the dogs. This is the guy who gets himself balls deep into a project and THEN asks for help , meaning you have to undo all his mess before doing the job right. Anyway, I...

I find myself in need of a cord of seasoned wood for my parents. Does anyone here sell, or know someone who sells in SE Wisconsin? I can pick up as well. Thanks Dave

Well, I know its not the pump...... Upon further digging I found the exhaust connecting rod and rocker VERY loose and the exhaust valve not opening very much.......im assuming this isnt good? THe rod doesnt isnt bent or worn anywhere, in fact nothing looks worn or otherwise unusual except its...

My 10.5 Briggs on my Speeco splitter started making some strange noises and bogs down when I move the lever. I have no experience diagnosing small engine problems, but I'm not against doing my own repair work. I guess I just need someone to steer me in the right direction or to make some...

I know this has probably been discussed already, but the search didn't turn up much on it. My house is 1600sf built 12 years ago. Open concept, cathedral ceilings. Basically heating one big room and my den. Would I be ok with a stove rated to 1500sf as I'm not heating the full 1600sf or should...

Last week I was driving home from my sisters house and I noticed that a big, dead standing elm had FINALLY been cut down and was sitting by the road to be taken. I cringed because my trailer was being used by my Dad and I would probably miss out on this bounty......not even a mile from home. Lo...

I have the opportunity to buy this Century stove for 300.00 Does anyone have any experience or opinions on it? It says it has secondary tubes, new firebrick, and I think it would work well in my 1600sq ft home. <a...

Ok, my plan was to have a wood stove installed before the snow flies........well it still hasn't happened. I'm still using my fireplace with blower and its SO inefficient! Anyway, I'm combing Craigslist for a useable stove and I'm looking for opinions, should I keep looking for the perfect deal...

Actually, it was his chance to try out his new toy. He got a great deal on a Husky 460 with a 24" bar and was dying to try it out on something. Actually, he bought it more for some chainsaw milling but God knows we will get use of it alot for firewood. Heres my trailer full of the fruits of...

While perusing craigslist looking for firewood to be had, I happened upon another "free firewood wanted" posts. Now usually I read them and move on, but this one in particular struck a chord with me. Older couple, use wood for sole heat source, they'll take anything, etc...... I was feeling in...

Just a "shoulder" fire, but it's funny how when it gts a little chilly outside I find myself yearning to burn. I finished stacking my firewood in the attached wood shed ( ie. Garage). Layed in 3.5 cords so i won't be out picking thru the piles in the snow for useable wood. God I love being...

A good friend of mine gave me a Stihl ms310 today. He bought it about 6 years ago to demolish the old farmhouse where he was building his new home. He said It had light use in the last few years before he stopped burning and he has no use for it now. It came with a case and 20" bar with 4chains...

So I get a call from a buddy of mine......His boss is cutting down a tree and do I want the wood. Well sure I do:rock: So I get out there and it turns out to be Black Locust!! This was all the tops that he had cut up. The rest of the 3 trunks are coming down this weekend and I can pick them...
