It’s just one. I’m thinking about splitting it into two tables and using the county line one to cover the engine.
Here's a better pic...holes are right about 9/16"...this is gonna flow a lot more oil than that lil 3/8" hole in my original Huskee cylinder! Well crap, I took the pic, now its gone! I'll try again tomorrow night... Anyways, this is a pretty nice cylinder!
This weekend I started bucking and splitting the cherry wood. I’ll cut a tank full of gas on the MS180, toss it onto the trailer and haul it to the splitter. Currently loading it into the totes because I need the dump trailer empty at the moment. Surprising how quick it goes like this too.
Finally got that pic and measurement...the ports are 3/4" NPT, but the actual holes into the cyl are roughly 9/16"...a lot bigger than the 3/8" holes in my original Huskee 22T cylinder!
I’ll post this here… (Soapbox) people, please take care of yourself. Learn how to fall too. Probably 30 years or so ago, I fell and like every one else, I put my hands out to stop myself. It resulted in a misdiagnosed broken scaphoid bone in my wrist. Now here I sit with major arthritis in my wrist and every 6 months, a steroid shot in my wrist that’s sometimes helping and most times now not, avoid the inevitable Carpal tunnel surgery and eventually a prosthetic wrist. The doctor is hoping we can hold out on the later to my 70’s. And that’s not long… if you’re younger than 35, stop thinking you’re invincible and start working smarter and not harder. Get those labor saving things like tractors and skidsteer now. They will be cheaper and less painful than the injuries you get will cause later in your years. as much as I want to sell firewood, I don’t know if my wrist can take it. So finding means to prevent any physical demand on my arm is most important to me at this time… In the words of Sgt Esterhaus, (/soapbox)
Sorry to hear about the injury and the later results. campinspecter is dealing with degenerative spine damage due to running a line log loader for most of his working life as well as deafness from it. Changes your retirement plans as you get older.
Broke my right wrist when i was 13. Fell backwards. No complications luckily. At 55 i consider myself lucky as im able to use my body still. Dont get me wrong, the aches and pains are there and im not the most graceful thing getting up from a kneeling position!
All kidding aside. It really is amazing that new born animals can get mobile so quickly. Yes, I hear you very well about not getting up quickly or gracefully from kneeling.
Can't like that and hope you can continue to do the things you love to do for as long as you desire to do them. I think my knees are going to what gets me. Just trying to keep going but need to get the weight off. I know all this, but still difficult to do.
If I am on the floor and looking to get up, I do what little kids do when they are trying to learn to walk, I will crawl over to a piece of furniture like a sofa or coffee table and use that to help me stand up. Amazing what you can learn from little kids.
I decided to go play with the muffler today on the G660. I’ll make a video of it actually cutting tomorrow. I need to make a better die for opening up the louver I’m going to put in the front. pretty much just cut the baffle out of it tonight and then used a can of carb cleaner to get all the abrasive and metal out of the muffler. There’s a little blending I could do to the exhaust port to open up the cylinder.
