This saw looks like it has an old cotton rope as a pull cord quite large in diameter. It was a rescue saw. I’ll get a good rope on it when I have time to mess with it.

Taking a day ioff from wooding tomorrow. Need to make a trip to the dealer in Moscow, Id to pick up my order.
One new hookeroon. I lost one of my two 3 months ago cutting in that willow bush. I need one in the wood yard and one on the truck.
Replacement starter mechanism on the MS362. It failed to rewind a month ago and they rebuilt it. Did it again last week. They fixed it but warned me that the pulley wobbles and needs replacement.
Out cutting again this morning in 40 degree with breeze. Good thing I broke out a set of thermals for the first time this heating season.

Any touch-typists need a keyboard? I decided to replace my work space keyboard and mouse and will let the vintage keyboard go to the first respondent. The mouse died after grossly exceeding the MTF on clicks which prompted me to take action...
P.S. No known biohazards... saw dust, regular dust, drywall dust, and various other things a plenty. Letters are worn off fully or mostly on 11 keys... It looks pretty good under cocktail lounge level office lighting conditions. This as an IBM human factors engineer recommended such lighting to my students when he was a guest speaker in my class.

been there more than just a few times! used to live in Pullman. in fact, for a spell we lived on on a dirt road in a farmhouse. fun years. the dirt road was called: The Old Road To Moscow... before paved one was open...
takes more than just an apprentice to deal with winter like that. keep those pics/adventures incoming!!
if not there now, seems freeze up has visited you. or about to. i got a post in on another forum up near Anchorage:"It's freezing!"
nice! home shop mill?
"Fred did it!"......

I decided after I made that last post to go back out and mess with the recoil on the franken365. It is one of my favorite saws and will be good to have it back up and running.
When I built this saw I did a big bore kit with pop up piston, and base gasket delete. The squish was around 15 and now that’s it’s broke it it has about 215lb of compression so it can be a little rowdy pulling it over.
The bottom 2 wraps of the cheap/old cotton rope were frozen stiff (it’s about 10 above right now) and the spring was rather rusty. Must have gotten damp during the summer riding around in the truck. I cleaned it all, installed a new spring and a new rope and reassembled. Fired up and ran 3rd pull so I guess tomorrow I’ll have to throw a square ground chain on it and go make sure it runs good instead of working on the cabin like I’m supposed to be doing.

G'day fellers,
I ducked out to Mitch's farm again this morning for a couple of hours. Mostly limbing and dragging things around. Starting to look a bit more presentable now. I'll cut what I reasonably can then cut sections for Mitch to hoick out with the excavator.
Took this home before I had to clean up for work.

I'm really enjoying seeing the red gum/blue gum pics and vids. Makes me a bit homesick...even though I'm home!
