Very cool!!!
It's official now... Work saw Collector and I will be riding up to Iowa together early AM Saturday...
Looking forward to it... We will have drank about 3 gallons of coffee by the time we get there...

I'm more of a 5 Hour Power or Monster Java guy myself.

If you look at my trailer there is a spot up front to clevis a snatch block and winch them up from the side. I could draw a picture if you want?

Nah... just block the trailer in front of the truck to be loaded and then push it up on there with another truck! Bingo Bango!
 
Can drag my little Case 1816C with me if that helps.

Any one staying over to Sunday?
 
I haven't heard if anyone is staying over sat night/sun... I do know there are some campers coming. I might have to step out for a couple 2-3 hours on Sat for a wedding reception. The nerve of some people to schedule weddings the same day as the Iowa Fall GTG... Sheeesh! :laugh:
 
Maybe we'll all go to the reception with you! Is anyone bringing a grinder I have a buggered up full comp 3/8 93DL to fix? Also how about a compression gauge, wouldn't mind checking my saws. After reading that a 5100 was blowing 210psi stock just kind of want to see where I'm at.
 
Do you guys know what you are doing for the stihl clamshell motor replacement build at your gtg yet? We are doing one at our gtg in Minnesota this weekend, just trying to figure out what we are doing for the timing of it. I sent Grande dog a pm asking about it but I figured I would ask if you guys know anything.

I'll bring a both a round and a square grinder. I'll throw a compression gauge in my tool kit as well.
 
Overtime at work might be messing up my MN and IA plans, I'll still be able to get a quick stop in at Andy's GTG, but IA might be out the window.

I'll know more mid next week. If I can swing it, I'll be there, if not, I'll be back next spring.
 
Hmmmmm

Man that is a nice looking spacer you have got there!! It looks to the untrained eye that you have gotten fantastically good with a dremel tool and a file!:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

I got one two... In fact I think a $1 schrader valve will fix my old one... You can have my old one if you don't have one yourself. Most of the time there is just a $1-$2 valve that goes bad.

Do you need somewhere to set up with those? or do you have a hitch mount for your truck?

Whaaaatttt????
:waaaht:
 
Mitch - I think there was an overpressure in the crank case, looks like the top of that piston has puffed up like a toasted marshmellow.

Mark

And here I thought he just pounded the back side of it with a hammer and punch, till it bowed up...:msp_confused:
:laugh:
 
nah... he just manacured the edges of the piston down with his file...
 
I thought for sure I was gonna make this one for sure but now have to fly to Fargo Sunday morning. :msp_sad:

I seem to recall from earlier in the thread it's going to be near Des Moines?
