Hey boys. Things have been very busy here. I’m the co-chair of the town festival which is this weekend and has seen record crowds. Also, things going well on another front . Catch you all later.
+1 on the weak springs. Idle speed could be a touch high also.Sometimes the springs get soft, and have to be replaced.

Very good gesture. Not many people think of others nowadays. BTW, love your trailer.A while back there was a guy who got hurt really bad at work. He is back living at home now but still recovering and doing physio, walks with a cane. Anyway, I thought I'd help him out with a load of wood, so I loaded my 5x 13 trailer with splits. He has a small stove that likes smaller pieces so I re-split a lot of it, it will also help him not have to lug heavy chunks. Mix of elm, apple, maple and ash. I figure about 3/4 of a full cord, since the splits are smaller I was afraid to pile it high. ....
You’re a top bloke Jeff.A while back there was a guy who got hurt really bad at work. He is back living at home now but still recovering and doing physio, walks with a cane.

Managed to bend my tailgate board pin when tossing a split, but that bend was no match for my "hydraulic press", good as new.

Thanks, I made it from an old camper trailer frame.Very good gesture. Not many people think of others nowadays. BTW, love your trailer.
Really? I wouldn't have thought a camper would have been made out of heavy enough angle iron. My 5x8 is only 1/8" 2"x2" and I have slight bend in the frame. Wish it were at least 3/16".Thanks, I made it from an old camper trailer frame.

The main frame rails are 3x5 rectangular tube. Actually more like 2 halves of formed channel welded together. It's 1/8 wall. The cross members were just formed z pieces but I added a bunch of 2x2x3/16 angles across in between. Fenders are 1/8 checker and the rails and uprights are the same angle I used underneath. Two 3500lb axles. It's pretty robust, I really haven't had more than 3500lbs on it and felt solid. Dropped a couple 500lb chunks of sugar maple in with the excavator, made a big Bang but the whole trailer moved instead of flexing. Welded up old school with a stick welder.Really?

Ask over in the beg for manuals thread for a repair manual for your saw. Good luck.I found a video where a guy replaced the plug on the left side of the pump as well as the O-ring/gasket on the bottom that fits around the oil flow adjustment screw. So I pulled the pump off and noticed the plug missing. Could that be why I was leaking oil or is it more likely the filter oil tube that runs through the housing? I've looked on ebay and Amazon for the plug and gasket, but I couldn't find either. Any ideas?
P.S. I found the part Nos. so I'll look around for a source.
I have done this on some bars also. For some reason, the Stihl Light bars often have a tiny angled hole that is much smaller than the oil holes in other Stihl bars.There have been some threads on drilling larger oiler holes in the bar also, if I recall.
