About 60* and sunny here today, heading out of work thru the weekend. Hoping to get some wood cut and split for the in-laws with the boy back home for the Holiday, always better to have a younger back around for that. I hope all have a Joyous Christmas, and let's all be careful out there!

IF you're feeling squirelly you can do what I did, and rig this up with an electric motor. I bolted it to a length of 2x8, clamp the board to the top of an old Crapsman 10" table saw and use a shorter v-bolt to run the grinder off the saw motor. We've done 100's of pounds of venison burger and...

Understand, I wasn't necessarily knocking it, I've certainly spent more for less in my life, just never thought I'd see something like that!

Wow, financing a chainsaw muffler cover.....just wow...

FYI, my experience: Carolina low-heel waterproof loggers were my go to for everyday all-day wear for about 6 years. I'd get a solid year out of them between all-day wear, tromping thru mud and cow poop and firewooding on weekends, etc. Last 2 pairs I had weren't near as good, think they cheaped...

Great pics! With the fog / low clouds in the first one, kinda looks like the edge of the earth (if it was indeed flat)!

Nice car! Engine compartment and what we can see of the interior looks about right for the year and mileage. Did it look like the exterior had a previous restoration or is did the paint and chrome look like original? If original that's damn impressive!

Nice! Only driven to Church and Raley's once a week!

I hope the rehab goes well, and in 6 weeks you're cussing the brake pad retaining clips!

Been eyeballin' that thing almost daily, wondering how to make the numbers work. Need it? Yeah, about like another hole in my head, but definitely on the want list, that or a 372XP would fill nice hole between 60 and 93 cc saws I use all the time. Hoping it goes to a good place!

So.....basically you're saying it sucked?

Nice! I take it the walleye didn't move up as hoped?

Very true, and it only took the purchase of one 'meh' saw to point out the errors of my ways!

Appreciate your service!

If it's a 45 cc version it may be a Timberman. Back about 2003 I was a little thin on funds and wanted/needed a 20" chainsaw. Bought a Timberman not knowing any better, and it looks a lot like your JD. Actually not a bad saw, starts and cuts after sitting for years at a time, but should have...
