Mail Ordered 25 baby chicks 21 weeks ago. 10 White Japanese Blacktails, and 15 Miniature Buff Orpingtons. Lost 3 in shipping. Had lots of Cockerels which went into the freezer at 16 and 18 weeks of age. Ended up with 4 Buffs, and 3 Jap pullets, and 1 Jap Cockerel. Finally, today at 11:00am...

The trees before work began yesterday. This is my friends back yard. He was quoted $9,000 for 8 to 10 trees. He finally found a Construction Company to do the job for much less. Here are some pics taken today.

Decided to choose an auto-darkening helmet with #7-14 shade variation. Well; the particular item had been discontinued, and was offered a similar helmet. What I got was a rare version of an ARC ONE Viper (Top Gun) Series, Model: X54vi-0966 with the computerized Auto-Darkening Lens...

This machine is like an anchor, and was really hard to handle in the shop. Because the stinger and hot leads are so short, I decided that I would make the welding cables longer, plus get an extension cable for the welder, and put some wheels under it so I can get it outside the shop and back...

Bought this truck new in 92. It has been my do everything truck, from trailering heavy equipment, hay, livestock, and firewood, and just general traveling. Being retired, I'm not too fond of the idea of buying a new truck, but this one only gets about 9-11mpg. It's a dog too when it has...

Until this year I've never owned a saw with Anti-Vibration accessories. After clearing more brush and falling some trees last week, it was time to buck the logs into rounds and get them moved. I started with my Poulan 3416 with Pro Bar and chain. It was doing a great job, but I changed over...

I've had my saw for several weeks now, and decided to clean the crud out from the chain guard housing. To my surprise there was no Bar-Mounting Plate behind the chain. Is your's like that? All my other brand saws have one. I would have called my Dealer, but it was after hours. Thanks:)

Since it's pouring down rain outside, I thought I'd say a few words here about Oregon's Pro 91 Series Bar, and show a pic of the differences in the two bars. My oldest 15 yr old Poulan 2075 was in need of a new bar. Thus began the quest for something more agressive than what is offered at...

My son had loaned out his saw, and when he got it back, we tried cutting a large blow-down, but everytime he started sawing, it bogged down. Thought maybe it was fuel lines, cause it began leaking fuel around the casing. He asked me to drop it off at John Deere for him. They called and said...

Saturday's clean up didn't pan out like we intended. My son's big saw kept bogging down everytime he put it to the wood. Sometimes it would run longer than others. He wasn't pushing it, and it ate like a hog, then just go down, and he'd jerk it out of the wood, rev it several times , stick it...

Changed fuel mix from 87 Octane + 40:1 mix to 89 Octane + synthetic 50:1 mix. This was done because of a new saw in the collection. I'm wondering if because of the new mix , or whatever, if I need to tweak the carb out a tad. If so which screw needs adjustment (L) or (H) ? Thanks for...

Back in the winter I tried to dig up some 1 1/2 foot tall redoak saplings to no avail. The roots were deeper than the trees were tall. Then this spring I went back into the woods and found (5) very tiny seedlings that had enough leaf conformation to identify them. They were about 12" from top...

Need to let off a little 'STEAM'>>>>..........In January I bought this brand new MS270 w/ 20" Bar & Chain for clean-up work on the ranch. The Oiler works, but I noticed my chain top plates browned. That tells me there's not enough oil to keep the bar and chain cool. Investigated, and had...

Hello. On my new Stihl saw, the gas cap has a cord with a small plastic ball on the end. How does that attach to the inside of the gas tank ? There is a small molding inside the tank. Is that where the ball is supposed to go? My manual doesn't show anything. The cap has always been...

A friend wants his large pine trees removed off his property line. His age, health, and big yard is to much to handle, and says he can't afford to pay someone to remove the trees. I haven't seen them yet, but if they are as big as he says, wouldn't someone be willing to pay him for the trees ...

Dad always used that term when something worked well. And this old Poulan 36cc - 2075, is one. After bringing it back to life, I'm continually tinkering with it. Even gave it a face lift with some auto finishing polish to rub out all the scratches. Today I took it out for its 1st run with...

My two small Poulan limbing saws, ( a 2075 Pioneer Plus, and 3416 PRO ) , got fitted with new bars. Shopped around the farmstores and picked up one with the low kick-back nose. It matches the Poulan bars exactly. I put it on the 3416, but wanted something to give these little guys a robust...

After trees have been stressed by wind and or ice they become vulnerable to insects and disease. This elm survived an Ice Storm a few years back, but these large 2 1/2" Carpenterworms have had a hayday with it ever since. The heartwood had channels bored all thru it with many exit holes...

This winter I've been cleaning up a 10-15 acre woodlot. It had been cut about 30 years ago, and the hickory saplings are just thick. My little 14 year old Poulan 2075 has only worn the easy to get safety chains from Wal-Mart and other discount farm stores. So for a change I ordered a 91VS...

STIHL parts are high $$. With that said, when shopping for parts one's attention is drawn towards the less expensive aftermarket products. SO, I purchased an aftermarket rim out of curiosity. Right away, I noticed the Power Mate Rim was lighter in weight. Having some intricate...
