    Bought this compressor for $100. Started on the first pull once I switched it on.

    After working every day and most nights for the last two weeks, I took a night off last night and laid around with the wife and watched tv! It was AWESOME!

    A little down time is a good thing.

    Got new cabers in today so i put them in with the OEM piston and cylinder. New 36" bar and 3/8 husky branded Oregon chain. Tried to go as stock as possible. There's a few pieces of hardware that aren't OEM but I think that can be forgiven too. Still need clutch drum bearing, air filter, and a few other smalls.

    Sorry, when this became a door prize and not a raffle I decided that you have to be present to win it.

    Got some portable wood storage made this weekend. I call them "wood bunks" and they hold about 2/3 cord of wood. Buddy tore his deck out to pour a patio so I recycled all his green treat 2x6 and 5/4 decking into these. Note the one in the background is version 2.0 and much more sturdy. I hope to make 10-12 of these eventually. Pallet base is 48"x48" and I plan to use forks on my 3pt to move them.

    Well truthfully my neighbor did it with his b7800 kubota. It cost me 1 chain sharpening and a new 3/8 058 68DL chain. I think it was a good trade!

    Neighbor has a 2159 Jred I rebuilt and gave him for his help on other projects. He was still running a Poulan 306a until I gave him the 2159. He's a great neighbor; I really couldn't ask for better neighbors where I live.

    Just learned that chipmunks can dive and swim (especially with dogs in pursuit). Took me 3 scoops before he stayed in the net when I fished him out of the pool.

    Well either way it is still a strong running engine. Bonneville is cool also.

    Wait til you see the top end. It is nothing special but better than stock.

    Finished up the rebuild on a Stihl 019T. Checked out in some wood and then let it sit for about 5 hours to see how it restarts. Seems to be doing good.

    Also worked on my new to me MS 460. I had to do one of my double barrel muff mods on it. Pics will come later.
