That would be hilarious. The guy thinks you are sending him an illicit web site and he is contacting the authorities. The authorities open the web site and it is his own. I guess the courts are lenient to those who turn themselves in.
I'm done with him.I suppose there could be two guys with that rather distinctive name living in the same city, but I doubt it.
Qthis old orange and white saw sitting in the garage, 088 it says on the lid.You probably aren't interested, being that I'm 500 miles away, but you can have it for yore poor ole pa if you want to take the drive. Q
I'm really sorry you made the 500 mile drive and all, but I just gave it away not 15 minutes before you got here.......

Hummm...
Laugh, but I had one. I got it from a guy who owed me money for some saw bolts I sold him. It worked great in the winter. But I never put it on a wheel. I bolted it to a twin Wisconsin on an old snowmobile trailer and ran it at just idle. I also put a 3/4" steel plate with back braces on the trailer with a hole in it for the "splitter" screw to go through so the wood wouldn't smash the engine when it was "screwed" in. After mashing a finger or two, I added a 1" bolt double nutted so 10 inches stuck out for the block to wedge against. It didn't work for crap in the warm weather but when the wood was frozen it popped it real slick. Ash and Elm would make it snort but the governor kept up. I did snub it on an Elm crotch but that was my fault because I fed it the wrong way. That was a project to get it off because it screwed up tight to my plate. I had to saw it off. I sold the whole rig at hunting season to a flat-lander from Milwaukee for $600 and never heard from him again so either he was happy with it or killed himself with it.

Free fire wood for liscened pro (cottage grove)
I thought I seen everything until I read this one. 13 trees that need to be taken down in pieces and you get to keep the wood. Also need proof of insurance. I just cant afford 500-800 a tree. If I cant find someone to do or help with this work I will just tackle it next year.
Talk about a real insult to the profession. This person needs a reality check.. Hope they have a few weeks vacation time next summer because they will need it.

Hey all... I have 13 trees that are all fairly large. These cant fall straigh and will need to be taken down in pieces.(with climbers?) All the wood is yours for the taking and I will help you haul it or do whatever is necessary. All that I ask is that you can show proof that you are insured in your work. If need be, I know times are hard and would be willing to pay a little bit for this work and still let you keep the wood, however I just cant afford 500-800 a tree. If I cant find someone to do or help with this work I will just tackle it next year.
Thanks

Maybe Monte and his dad can help this guy out...

I don't think so. I did a follow up on him and they pulled his posting so he posted another one the next day. I sent him a email telling him how my saw is collecting dust and I'd make him a deal for his poor dad - but no reply yet.

My guess is this person has 13 trees that are tagged to be removed and he put it off as long as he could. Like I'd want to take down 13 trees for the wood at this time of the year. This might be Monte's relations and that's why they need a saw.. Or they guy thinks he has "Money trees"
Let us know what happens.Say what you will about the guy, he's not shy.If I were busted like that I'd lay low.
Laugh, but I had one.
Jkebxjunke posted a video of something similar in post #12262 in the "if you post pics of naked people here(or anywhere else), youll be banned" thread - in the Off the Topic Forum.
Looks even dangerous to see it running. Grabs part of your sleeve, and . . .

Nothing that could go wrong there . . . .
Well, probably need to move this sub-thread off of the "Craig's List" thread and onto another. Heck, it deserves a thread of its own. Maybe the "And they were still alive at the time the video was shot" thread?

I like the Canadian model, but then, I like to live on the edge.Something about that tractor name - Cockshutt- gives me a nervous feeling.
Wow! Clarence and his splitter really made me cringe. And it went downhill from there.
