I'm with you Oldhippie. If it burns, it's OK by me. My excavator guy tells me that three more big poplars are impinging on our upcoming...
Well it has been a while but I'm back. Spent all last summer clearing our building site with the 490. I did the muffler mod and carb adjustment. I...
I figure I got about 5 cords bucked up. The problem is that it's mostly poplar and white pine. Some of our time this summer will be spent...
Well it sure has been a while. I have not been on since last spring. Been real busy setting up for retirement and general contracting the new...
You got a good pile. Go back for the hemlock. Hemlock is softwood but it's "good" softwood. Nice for shoulder season. Free is the best price.
We went up to our land in VT last week. Tried to burn a big old pile of stumps and roots. We went at it with a leaf blower, a big lp tank torch,...
Was up in VT last week. That was the end....April 2nd. Collected about 30 gallons and got 2 1/2 quarts of dark and had some fun. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Same thing happened to me twice last summer. Once with my Husky weed whacker and once with my Echo chainsaw. Short term memory shot. Oh to be 50...
Talked to my bro today. He hasn't tapped out yet, up there. Going to tap out this weekend to take advantage of this weeks warm up. The next week...
I've adjusted the idle on my Kawasaki outboard and my Husky weedwhacker but I've never adjusted the carb on anything before. Any handy advice for...

Bucked, split, stacked, and covered is all in the plan. We all know what happens to plans though. :mad:
Sugaring is "funny". there are some things that are for sure. Cold nights below freezing and warmer days......sunny......light to no winds make a...
Thanks to you all for the advice. I will take it. :salute:
The plan is for all that to be gone and stumped by end of next summer.
Yeah, I'm all about non E gas. That's all I run in my outboard, leaf blower, weedwhacker, genny, and saws. This is how much (little) I know. What...
I hear you. If my bro had room for it among all his chite, I'd buy it right now and come get it somehow. Right now, this is the place where we...
That wind was vigorous! Sorry to hear you need to pack it in but life does press on. My bro is a chimney sweep and this is his down time so he's...
That is quite an operation you have there T.Jeff Veal. My wife is willing but she's a city girl from the UK. She can't drive a tractor but she's...
Thanks for the reply. I've seen the muffler mod done different ways, on the web, and have heard that the carb needs to be reset carefully to match...
