I want the FJ60, Wished I had my old FJ40 back.

Any how Lee and I cut at the wood lot all day. It started out cutting in the rain, but quit raining around 10:00 and the rest of the day was cutting in the over cast. Only saws used was the saws from last week, PM6 and PM10-10. The PM6 performed flawlessly, the PM10-10 had a couple issues. First it would oil for a little bit and quit, even the manual oiler would not work. I thought the bar was stopped up. I found out that I would check the oil and it would seam to work for a while and quit again. The vent hole in the oil cap was stopped u. Looked like the cap had melted somehow. Took a small drill bit and a pair of vice grips and made a hole in it. Like I said last week this is a saw I had not had out cutting. I got it, cleaned it up, cleaned the carb, replaced the crank seals and set it on the shelve. While cutting, I noticed that it seamed to want to quit or bog down. I thought after last week I must have gotten something in the carb but seamed to clear after opening the fuel cap. I cleaned it off and sucked through the vent and nothing. I sucked a little harder and it unclogged and started working. So it was a kind of clogged kind of day.

Other than that we cut a lot of wood.

Not sure if it had a MAC attack or the FZJ80 was too strong.

Ive seen what a root rotten oak does to a 1000 gallon propane tank., squash!
 
I have perhaps 75-80 saws in there now including most of the Mini Macs, 300 Series, and 10 Series saws. I have been finding a few more than I remembered and may be able to offer a few up once I get things sorted out.

The chrome wire shelving work well for the smaller saws but is a bit iffy for anything over a 10 Series unless you limit them to 2 per shelf. I am busy now trying to get some 3/4" plywood shelves edge banded and painted so I can get a few more big saws over, you can see the vertical standards going up in the background behind the tree.

I will have enough saws in the building by Wednesday evening to satisfy the casual visitor.

Sounds like you are making great progress.

You have some nice Homelites going on display.
