Splitter was too heavy to move by hand so had to use the tractor to set up to split, then again to drag it out of the pile and reposition for more splitting. Not any more! Added half of a cherry shaker catching frame for self propel and steering. When I was younger I used to split at 34", but have found in my wiser years its easier to handle 24" pieces. If I get bored it may end up all the same color, doubt that.
I did, 30 years ago, a year after I got the outside hot water stove. Its' power comes from an old single cylinder Wisconsin that I run just off an idle and have never thrown a piece of wood it wouldn't split, It's kinda slow but still put a sweat on me=fast enough.
Started "farming" with a Farmall cub then graduated to a Farmall super C sixty years ago. Neither had room for a waste basket.
I had that oil leaking problem on one of my Stihls', on the bottom there is a tiny hole with a spring loaded check ball that keeps the oil tank from going into a vacuum. Mine had a little piece of sawdust caught in it so it couldn't seal. If I remember correctly I just worked it with a pick.
I was wrong! imagine that. That check valve is under the bar cover.
Looks like you may need a little extra throttle to cross your bridge.
You guys keep testing my skills, looking up these fancy words. Glad I don't have to use a dictionary and "sound it out" like the teachers were prone to saying.I not sure about the opulent part, but it is workable……….
Well, where's the pics?Beauty day out @ 60º on the button. Everyone out at the range everywhere sniffing burnt powder fumes?
40min job took 2hrs.. Methinks this was their first car wrap type job.
Keep those kind on the north side of the Bridge, Ok?If Wolf got his record purged free n clear I want mine done too!!
Come out of ACE and some maroon kid with earphones on is now cleaning the parking lot with a battery powered rotating broom sweeper spitting sand n gravel at my truck.
Sitting in line @ the drug store and a guy on a men's bicycle goes by with a trotting dog leashed to the left handlebar, an 18x18"ish box clasped under the left arm, steering with the right and a 4yr old lil girl sitting on the cross tube riding side saddle with no helmet and hanging on for dear life!
Got an inch and a half of rain last night with wind in the tree tops, eh, just a storm, garden liked it. What impressed me was the thunder, pretty much one steady roar for an hour+.
Rose has been on a roll, last there days, three chippies and a mouse, atta girl! She still gets sick after each kill. I've never had a dog do that.

Rose can now add gophers to her resume. We stopped by the ex to do some golf cart repairs and Rose figured she should show the ex her skills. She's been on a roll this week taking out chippys, got another before we left the house this morning. Me on the other hand demonstrated my ability to put a mach2 round through a railing spindle being a jerk behind the trigger on a bird feeder chippy.
Nice! Looks to be same color as my 1 ton, they shine up good. Pretty interior also. And I thought my '04 3/4 ton and '09 1 ton were nice, things sure have changed.
When I first got my 1 ton I had to replace the parking brake shoes, with the bigger diesel and only one chime to let you know you forgot I understood why. After about 8 years of missing that one chime they'll hold if I park on a flat spot once again. And I've learned to like it like that.
For years 1/2 tons were 15" and 3/4s were 16", my '98 was on 16s", the "04 and '09 are both 17s", now they've gone to 18s"? Might as well forget the air and run wagon wheels.
