Re: Broke mower. Could use your opinion

Definitely something you want fixed right the first time... perhaps a local welding shop would cut the ends off and replace the entire tube?

Re: Wood Chipper Improvements

Harry - Thanks! It is actually sort of a "real" chipper - No flywheel here - it uses a great big heavy "S" cam with 2 blades and works great with material from 1/2" up to about 3.5" It was advertised as a 4" chipper but I think that is more of a theoretical size -...

Re: Wood Chipper Improvements

Thanks for the feedback JSinMO and DavidBarkey :cheers: - Good reminder Dave - it actually mentions that in the engine and chipper manuals, but really doesn't go into the details of what can happen when things go wrong.

Re: 1993 Ford F350. Travel time for it.

My guess would be around $2500 Cdn It will be interesting to see what route they choose and how much fuel prices vary - We've driven Ontario to BC and back a few times when I was working out west for a few years, (always in little SUV's though... :) ) Going an all Canadian route from Kelowna to PEI ...
