There should only be a couple trees in that space, but of course you know that. We got fire hazard galore on our place, and we’re thinning it out.

Your link doesn’t work, I found another.

It's not me. They said the perp is using a bow saw! - Too old for that crap. PowerSaw only.
Been a few months since I've been on here or my other forums. We drove my son out to S.Dakota for college and then I had some medical issues to work out but am feeling good after some impromptu surgery. I'm planning on a write up of our journey out West soon.
I didn't do a lot of cutting the last couple of months, but since surgery, I have felt really good and am back in action. One of my local tree service friends dropped off a load of ash yesterday. Not a lot, but a couple loads a week add up. The EAB has destroyed the ash trees here and my neighborhood has constant Powersaws ripping throughout the day.

Had to fix my wood truck . Went to put it in 4wheel and the shifter just flopped around . Knew right away the linkage came off . This is the second one on the truck . The pins just disintegrated and the c clips fall off
So I made a new one 100 % stainless steel it’ll outlast the truck

What truck?
My Dodge 3500 .

I'm finally getting some splitting done ahead of winter. I'm tackling all the rounds/logs that have been sitting in my front yard for a year or 2. That seems to be the perfect amount of time to let the wood sit before splitting, at least with pine. Any sooner than that, and the bark sticks and the fibers make it a PITA to split. If I waited any longer than I am now, it would be rotten...even at that, a small portion of it is getting hucked into the burn pile.
I prefer to burn oak, madrone, or even cedar, but I have a never ending supply of ponderosa pine...so that's what I'm splitting now.
Pine isn't the cleanest burning, but I burn hot fires and don't seem to have an issue with buildup. The pine gets the house up to a comfortable temperature and oak is what keeps a bed of coals throughout the night.
It's slow going, I'm using my old man's splitter, which needs a rebuild on the ram. I even had to noodle some of the larger rounds to get them to split. He's got a new pump on it and it's a known good valve on it, so I'm guessing some sort of internal seal issue. My splitter is in project phase ATM. It's mostly complete, I just need to source a fuel tank for it and some other odds and ends(home-made unit I was given.)
Felt like tons of work and I barely made a dent in the wood:

Judging by the linkage, NP208.
Pine is Fine! LOL
I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to do that I think that's what I'm dealing with is the internal rust that difficult to get.Also Vince when I 1st got my P-51 from my Uncle it had sat for 20 yrs . I had to replace all the old neoprene fuel line , rebuild the carburator & tune. Also , the old felt filter membrane was toast , replaced it with a Walbro reproduction element . I found that a half tank of evaporust & a 1' length of dog chain links left in the tank & shaken daily for a few minutes broke up & dissolved all the fuel tanks internal rust in 3 days . It was like a shiney nickle brotherPor -15 also has a very similar product . Both products will not harm non rust laden carbon steel or aluminium or rubber or plastics for that matter . I love my Pioneers , I start & run all 3 of them every year for sentimental reasons . Nothing like the sound of old school Pioneer just off idle to make you feel alive !
Same here I think NBN is right I think there's hard to get off rust inside that I'm going to have to deal with.
Is that Escalator in your sig?
Vince if that fails , which I doubt if your patient , you can always go with a secondary 50:50 mixture of mineral water & muratic acid solution . However I have used the Evaporust 3 times on the saw , a dirt bike tank & a Harley project bike tank all were bonifide success stories
Believe it’s an np271 never needed anything for it so never research it . I have a 208 in my 85 K20

I never have seen a 208 in any Dodge 3500, don't think they ever put one in.
My one ton Dodge has a 205...

Saw a few in 87 Ramchargers 23 spline unit . P.S. Also in the 83 thru 87 D250 & D300 4x4 Pickups I believe , compatible with Dana-spicer slip yokes .
No no rush I'll let it soak a couple days. I've used that stuff on other stuff the metal turns out bleached it's so clean I have no doubt it will take care of the issue.Vince if that fails , which I doubt if your patient , you can always go with a secondary 50:50 mixture of mineral water & muratic acid solution .

Yeah - I'm way off today. Good catch. Dodge used them in W250's, although I think Ford may have used them in one tons.
It's Hell's Gate. I rolled over in Micky's Hot Tub.
Just checked the tag it's an NP217 D
