Re: Being impatient can still be fun!
I've only run the 8N plowing a couple times. However my father had it set, is how I ran it, because a) I had only read the book on the process, and how to set up the N, and b) there was no telling my father that he might not have done something right... He was the ultimate authority on everything, r...

Re: Rust removal
They sell it in 5 gallon pails too. Great stuff. You can continue to use it over and over until it no longer works. It doesn't hurt aluminum or brass, or wood, and I haven't noticed any issue with good paint. My suggestion is to give things a light brushing before you drop it in. Not so much because...

Re: Pictures: this moment
Yea, the sprawl keeps moving. South of my mountain, in the Allentown area, the number of huge houses on nothing lots boggles my mind. It's literally 1000's of units. The prices are astronomical. I honestly don't know how it's going to play out as there simply is no way it can continue on the path ho...

Re: Messing around in the shop
First thought was it was the same intermitant spark I was seeing with a sketchy coil... Glad it was simple. There is simply nothing worse than intermittant electrical.
Re: Milling
I haven't cut ash with the mill, so no idea if applicable. I'd think ash would slice up pretty nicely. When I got setup, I remember reading that you want the oiler running basically wide open. The type of oil you run, and the temps can play havoc with those systems, so you'll have to play around a b...

I'll jump in a bit on this... The chainsaw mill rigs are good and bad. (like everything right?) Obviously, they work. You end up putting an awful lot of work in to makeing boards, and turn a bunch of tree in to dust. I'd say, they're as hard on the operator, as they are on the saw, and log. Getting ...

Re: Living in dread of the dredge...
Nope. No kids for me. I do have a wonderful woman in my life that would be thrilled to run either the crane, or the dump on such a project. She has a ton of seat time on the 646 from when we regraded the yard at her first house... Took about 20 yards to get that thing in shape to drain properly. I s...

Re: Living in dread of the dredge...
I actually bought my little crane to do this... Then I came to my senses. That's got a 1/2 yard clam, but that's still an awful lot of digging, plus I'd need a dump truck to haul it elsewhere on the property.

Re: The weather
Metal float thankfully. Just in from an emergency clearing... Power went down, and I had failed to pre-set the generator... Every time I do, the power is fine... I guess that's cheap insurance, but it's annoying... I really need to do some kind of more or less permanent install. 444 did just fine. s...

Re: The weather
Noel - I've got an H1. My father bought it new in 1971, along with a 38" deck, blower, model 80 trailer, and the EZ-Rake blower, and trailer canopy. Still have everything except the canopy which rotted apart. The blower is now mounted on an old Trac Vac trailer, and keeps going. Love that simpl...
