    rebuild a 034 av?

    I'm in the same situation. I've got 2 034's here that i got cheap. Got one running pretty good, replaced all the lines, and oil pump worm. I'm giving that one to a buddy of mine. The other one needs a new p/c and a few other things (brake handle, muffler, lines) and I'm keeping it for...

    my turn. LET'S SEE YOU STIHL

    Here's a pic from last weekend. My 170 and 362. Now on the lookout for a 660, or bigger that can wear a big bar for the big stuff, and maybe do some milling with. Plunger handle on the 170 is 16" long, and rubber mounted (2 thick rubber washers on either side with a lag bolt through the...

    How do YOU get your wood out of the woods?

    Here's how I get mine most of the time. Cut/split right in the bush (leave the mess there) and just tow it out to stack, then go back again. Bought that trailer for $5 at a yard sale, was a lightweight tent trailer, and I built the wood body/bed on it with free plywood. It's paid or itself...

    Mobile Firewood Rack

    Exactly how I do mine. I even built my pallet forks too. Only difference is my kid is 3 months old. Can't wait until he's a little firewood stacker :) Works great except when the tractor is broke (busted governor). I'm working on a different idea for next year. The goal is to reduce...
