What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2018]

[Clutch]

We need to. There's about 4 cord of pear and 1/2 cord peach stacked away and about another 2 cord on the ground.

Then i need to entice my free labor to return and address the damaged pecans and an old shag bark hickory down at the other place...

Nice I can't get that stuff up here I use oak cherry and apple mostly oak

Fabricated some brackets to hold up the loader on the tractor, then mowed 10 acres of field. Fun...

All mine are older "0" series saws got them all used in need of repair some free some cheap there easy to work on and all the parts are available even for the 050 made 1968-1972

My dad gave me an MS290 for a house warming gift in 02, and that thing is like a Swiss timepiece. The Stihl "yellow" chains are the shizznizzle- screw the Harry Homeowner greens.

Are Stihl products still hellishly hard to pull over. I liked my Jonsered chainsaws except the bars, the bearings were sh*t. The Oregon bars and chains were decent quality. We have zilch for fancy fruit trees up here, mostly the dwarf species. There is some plum and crab apple wild. Saskatoon berries are the most abundant wild fruit and Hazelnut's grow wild as well. I can tell you Oak, Ash, the white furniture grade wood and Elm will test how good a chain is and the Oak plugs air filters bad. I usually tried to find the Ash at my in-laws pasture, less mess, burned just as hot as Oak and easier to split. I used to sell it for $125 a truck load delivered, now a load of poplar goes for that easy.

Jonsered here. Mostly just light-duty pruning of the low branches.

The pictures aren't great, but this is what some friends and I have been working on for the last 2 weeks. 1957 Mack cab being put on the frame of an 05 F350, with a 6.0 powerstroke.

you're going to have to keep us updated on that one... been thinking about doing something like that with a pickup bed for a couple of years!

Went over to my dad's place this morning. Sharpened 4 spare chains between his and mine. Rolled back the cover, fired up the Cutlass and took it for a short loop. Also got my bike out and lit it up. Looks like I'll need a new battery before I put it up for sale. Ran great with a jump. Took it for a short ride too.

Mine started fairly easy just need to man up a bit for the larger saws the 050 is like 80cc s so that one is not for a kid to use
