Stuff happened, long story short now I’m going to run a… let’s say “unbranded” velocity stack. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
They look like poison ivy leaves but are compound like ash or hickory. Unique for sure.
My plan is to try the AM just to get it running, then keep my eyes open for a used OEM. There weren’t any on eBay last time I checked (unless I...
It's good for me right now though; I needed a good 3D puzzle in my life :whistle:
One step closer. I had bought a 272 intake block and carburetor, and assumed that the screws from the 61 would fit. Not so. Too short and the...
Nice when you have a mutually beneficial arrangement like that. Looks like route 8 in the background so you couldn't have been too far off the...
One of my wife’s bleeding hearts. This is the third season for this particular one in this spot. In my flower bed I planted the North American...
No fire here for ten days, so I'm anticipating that we're most likely done burning. I took the indoor firewood rack outside to stow it until fall....
I love burning sugar maple but when it comes to those big ones, I usually shy away. Straight, forest grown, 14-16" DBH is about perfect for me....
That's a bit... unorthodox lol. Round files aren't exactly designed to cut while spinning :confused: I'll bet the files he uses wear out evenly...
I’m learning all sorts of nuances about the 200 series in this build. Not only were the early 61 cranks different (heavier) but the castings for...
The donor saw for my 61/272 build showed up today. Not bad for a saw that’s as old as me (1984 model) :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Edit: after getting it...
My wife sent me these just now. It’s been a couple years since we’ve had bears in the yard. Mostly it’s been foxes scoping out the chicken coop....
I really like the idea. Controversial statement as it may be, I'll say it anyway. I hope the local residents don't graffiti the poor trees. I do...
I’ve watched all the videos in this series, some 2 or 3 times. Every one of them is jam packed with information, and I could easily get lost for...
Tall about taking the fanboy club to the next level :confused:
While the 61/272 project is waiting parts and an entire donor saw, the 288 got a couple upgrades. The 304 stainless steel custom pipe, a new...
I’m guessing 3.5 cords but once everything is stacked I’ll take some more measurements and confirm.
Slowly making progress with the stacking from this score. 4 rows in the shed; each row is 8 feet long tapering from 6 to 5 feet high front to...
This is one ugly load. Short cookies, ugly chunks, twisted knots and root flare oddballs of red oak. Space is at a premium at my place so my uncle...
