Lol. No way. I know my limits sir. I pay professionals to do them.

I know some guy, uses belt sanders and stuffs. Hacker......
Nah, let's not go there. F'em

I’s just joking Jeffus: I’d just Joking.

Hey guys -- happy to report that youtube now has the entire livestream video almost 9 hours long available to check out. Here is the link:

At 2:33:15 is when yours truly followed by Jeremy ran Lee's monster Mac.

Raffle prizes picked at 5:42:00

At 5:57:45 is when Lee presented the 166 to Scott and pulled a tear from everyone's eye w/ a dedication to Jeremy's recovery. That was a class act Lee!

Eric, my video of that race is time stamped 1:23pm if that helps at all.

Found it at 5:11:30 and edited my post above. Thanks!

 

[malk315]

Yes sir! Jeremy took that picture last year one of my favorites -- it's all about the saw in that pic

 

[Woodrow]

Anybody near this that would look at, pick it up, and ship it to me? Guy won't ship.

 

[Lightning Performance]

You should have asked a few hours ago.

 

[Lightning Performance]

It was a pleasure to meet you!!!
I really do hope to see you again!!!

PS.....I got passed by a Carrera GT3 on my home. I was doing 74 and he/she made it look like I was in reverse.
100+ for sure

Ha. I couldn't hang with this dude in his new mustang. 95ph when we hit the njtp. He was on truck side I was in cars. He just walked away after that, poof...

 

[Mastermind]

It was great chatting with you Randy...Wish we had more time to talk...Glad you came up

I wish I could hang around you a lot more often Brett. I learn more good stuff each time we talk.

 

[Woodrow]

Why is that?

 

[huskyboy]

Why is that?

The gtg is over

 

[Lee H]

So here's the issue guys. This piece of metal is suppose to be welded to the crank like the opposite side.
I have had this happen before a few years ago. Simple solution, Either I replace the crank or I reweld
the weight back on. I'm gonna weld it back on tomorrow. These cranks are getting harder to find in
good usable condition.
Simple solution is to never tap on either end of these 123cc Mac cranks. The SP125's have bolt on weights
where all 797's and 101's are welded weights.
Will be going back together tomorrow.

Man I love this saw, Wish we could have had more time to play with it.

Wise arse,

Are you going go re-balance it?

Actually, it appears that the weight has a nesting spot there, should be able to reattach it with a new weld back in its original location. It might be even stronger if you bored a hole in that plate and plug-welded it to the crank, so it wasn't relying on just the tack weld on the outer side.

 

[Lee H]

Hard to plug weld with the other counter weight in the way. I will tig
it back on with a little better weld.

 

[Lightning Performance]

Naw.pics of Tractors!!

Day were purrrdy

 

[huskyboy]

Wise arse,

I have a sarcastic sense of humor what can I say. Got lucky with that piece of metal on the crank, no topend damage huh?

 

[166]

Who's this guy?

 

[Ambull]

That was the first time I ever laid eyes on one of those rare twins, and he handed it right to me to run it......

Pretty derned kewl.....

Next year, I'll have my McCulloch BP-1 in tow with me....

You can run my twin any time..... it needs to run more!

Thanks guys for a great time.

 

[MustangMike]

Lee, Just real glad the damage is repairable! That is a purdy saw!

 

[Lightning Performance]

You knew it was coming ...

Broker.

Da Pusher

No, they broke it before I had a chance!

Just anther shake down run. You gota work the bugs out before you spin up a nasty chain . She's all shook out and ready to eat big weeds of the hardwood variety, again.
Aka: Boss Mac

To hell with saws....I went fishin

I found the walking trail map to the best part of the lower Kill. I'll bring a rod next time.

Lee's custom 120si. One of the two saws I ran Sunday.

Next time. It needs more break in time.

That was ugly...I stuffed it twice...Still alot of fun

Agreed

Why is that?

I could have grab it on my way by there.
