Survived the roof today. 4 air conditioners done, 4 to go before the end of the month.

Are they NLA? I just bought an 026 piston a little while back from the dealer for like $40. Just used my last 42mm (024) aftermarket piston Sunday.

I'm not sure but I think they have a deeper skirt than the standard 026 piston from what I'm given to understand...

Sounds like you had a busy day.

Ok, so I looked it up. You need part number 1121 030 2005. It's showing a price of $35, but the system shows it's currently unavailable. That generally means that you can get it, but not until they have enough orders of them to make some and send them out (long backorder). What I CAN tell you is that the part numbers for 024 and 024S are the same. I got a plain meteor 42mm piston and put in an 024S and it ran just fine. I never looked up the part numbers back then because that was when a Stihl piston would run $100+. Hope this helps.

Each conditioner takes almost a day, this time of year. No washing involved. Other times of the year it takes a day or two. Depending on weather. Rain, snow and ice, bad weather delay maintenance. I ran over two days on these four. We do preventive maintenance on one building, 280,000 sq ft, and I do everything that has Freon in it. Hvac, refrigerators, drinking fountains, etc. Plus minor electrical repairs, plumbing, lighting (there's a LOT), plus another 120,000 sq ft building downtown that gets the same attention. I keep busy enough to stay out of trouble.

Trouble is the fun part, lol.

I'm fairly similar except the softest wood I sell is Silver Maple (Unless I hapen into some piss elm an mix it in sparingly). My Normal "mix" is Hackberry, Mulberry, Red Elm, Ash, Locust and Oaks. If I have a really snobby customer (I usually avoid them) then I'll sell straight Oak, Locust, etc for a premium fee (and I'm currently getting $200/Cord stacked for mixed). Occasionally I will take some Pine or Cedar or other less than ideal wood and will use it for either camp fires or will to sell to some of the younger Airman on base who want a dab of wood for camping but don't want to pay what I normally charge them. It's a win-win for me.

For myself It's just about anything in the shoulder seasons and Locust, Mulberry and Hedge during the cold w/a bit of Hackberry or piss elm mixed in to better oxygenate the fire in my P.E. stove. Otherwise if I burn straight Hedge (and all door seals are good) I'll get clinkers on anything less than about 1/3 throttle...



I have taken out a lot of Silver maples and it's amazing how you can cut up 2' of rotted/mealy Styrofoam then get into some solid wood and go back to punky crap in another 2'... It also doesn't weather well when exposed to the elements once split... It IS fantastic starter wood though.

Locust, mulberry, and hedge huh . I have never cut and sold any of that stuff. Only burned a few sticks of hedge. I cut a small locust once and gave the wood to Awol (about 15-20 rounds). I thought it was hedge until Hedgerow schooled me. You described silver maple to a "t". If I can process it solid I have no trouble with it weathering bad. Seasons relatively quick. Todays haul was the most solid I ever cut. In fact I cut some to 20" for myself and am going back to pick it up and finish the rest.
