What are y'all working on today?

When the 'fun part' of chainsaw milling is over, and you have to sharpen 3 36" chains... Good beer and good tools come in real handy!

 

It could be worse. You could be square filing them.

 

Get to trouble shoot a new little poulan that was dropped off. Wont start.
What I like about this challenge, guy stated a professional saw shop couldnt figure it out.

 

Wasnt even a challenge . All ready for pick up.

 

Well?? Fix?

 

Be back will copy paste info here out of thread.

 

Dump mix into glass jar I use. Right off this is going to be my guess right there.

Used check spark analyzer and coil shows good. CheckSpark Engine Ignition Analyzer - Check Engine Spark In 10 Seconds!

Plug looks new. Windsor spark plug, dont recall seeing those before.

Checked all lines.

Checked carb nuts and air filter.

Then put in my mix and used purge bulb to pass new mix through carb good.

Started right up.

Only thing wrong was = Old mix you could see separation of water and smelled old like turpentine a bit.

Why a dealer couldnt figure this out is beyond me.

 

Home sick today so I'm just nursing a nasty cold/fever. I did sell $60 bucks worth of smoker wood to a guy. Normally I wouldn't have been home but just happened to be. He took a mix of Pecan and other hickory wood.

 

Got my crawl space access panels installed.

 

That one one was in my wheelhouse! Maybe the dealer wanted to sell a new saw.

 

My other hoard.

 

Couldnt afford to not turn that wood into firewood!

 

I split up some hickory and oak this morning for some exercise. I've got a bunch of logs that need to be bucked and split still so I'll keep chipping away at it. This afternoon I ground up some leaves and brush in the Troy Bilt chipper. Haven't used it for a couple years but I've got need for it presently for some property maintenance.

 

Darn luv-joys couldn't handle the abuse. Time to beef it up.

 

Briggs ain't got nuttin on this bad boy. Wisconsin 634cc single cylinder. Magneto under the carb.

 

Mocking up a tow hitch on the front of a "no deck" riding mower. it is such a pain to move my splitter from garage to back yard as my back yard is so uneven and hilly and has a small creek running thru it

I have to get the splitter facing just right or the hyd fluid oozes out the breather over fill hole on the cap, and when I have to take it out of back yard I squeeze my truck between the houses and attempt to spin the splitter around by hand and hook it the the ball hitch
last time I did this the splitter got away from me and headed toward the creek, so i man handled it and threw it on the ball hitch and felt a serious pain in my back while doing that

long story short had to get a MRI @ $500 out of pocket to find out I was fine, so I picked up this no deck mower for $250 and I am going to put a ball hitch on the front, cheaper than another MRI

just mocking it up today should finish it soon

 

Took apart the latest 242xp for a cleaning.
