    Bucket Truck Backache?

    O.K., after 23 years of dangling from a rope, I bought a bucket this spring. Now it seems like I have a low backache that coincides with the use of the truck. Is it just because I'm an old man who should be greeting people at Wal-mart or have others experienced this? When I'm not in the trees I...

    Homelite XL-800

    OK, all you Homelite smarties- Had an XL-800 follow me home last night, can't find any specs on it (displacement). Looks like the same housing as the XL-900 series, originally red, casting dates late 1966, doesn't show up in my big Homelite binder.

    Need Echo 550evl Bar Cover

    Took a trip to the local saw shop (town dump) today, came home with a Echo powerhead. Didn't look too bad, dirty but all there except the bar cover. Had gas and bar oil in it, gave it a few yanks and it lit right up. So if any of you guys are using the bar cover from a 550evl as an ashtray give...
