Now I'm older and knackered wiser, I use Stefan's method above. That‘s hopefully not a sign of Aging.... but if so, Kevin is young, he can do it. 😂 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's about as close to being over the axle as one could get! And I don't see it falling apart either! Tires filled? I'd have to add some cross links. 4-links are hard on my teeth. I put a set on my new to me Bolens and they were getting to me. I found almost enough spare links to fill them out to 2-links but I'm still missing 2 or 3. I can feel them as they rotate. What are you going to run on the front? Blade or blower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #1462 Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) We've been having a really cold few days and the ground is well frozen. So today I returned to a tree I'd felled about 3 weeks ago. The ground was soft and rough, making it a bit dodgy working the day I felled it. Plus I only just managed to drive the Sears and loaded trailer out. Today was ideal so off I went and set too. I got a nice load on the trailer and was just about to cut up some more, when the chainsaw stopped. After 13 years work it decided to lose compression. Back home I decided to go buy another saw while the dead on was investigated. If it's fixable having two saws will be handy. Also I want to get as much of the wood out of the field before it thaws again. That's my excuse anyway. Hoping to get it all cut up and home tomorrow. just to prove to certain people, you know who you are, who complain when no photo's, here's some. Sears and Saxon. I think I need a hair cut. Carol came out to lend a hand. In reality she just wanted a photo' to send her sister in Wales. Edited February 10, 2021 by Stormin 3 1 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to lift it out of the trailer for her and place it on her arms. Can't wait to tell her sister when we can get down to Wales. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,884 #1465 Posted February 11, 2021 Dryer quit working, so blew it apart and fixed the singed wire that went to the high temp themostat and cleaned out all the dog hair from the vent assy. Then took all our vacuums apart washed all the tanks and put the filters in the washing machine. My daughter had vacuumed dog pee up I guess with hers and there was wet muddy dog urine in it, I had to take it completely apart and wash everything!! So gross!!

Stormin 9,981 #1470 Posted February 11, 2021 Back to the field this afternoon. Three hours work and the trunk cut up and plus two loads home. New chainsaw made short work of the trunk. It's got a 2" longer bar and a thicker chain. Still some more to collect, but tomorrow is another day. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
