Good Evening Todd. Got in a walk on the bike path before the storms hit. Looks like WA went to phase 5 covid restrictions. Is your wood cutting on hold till phase 6?
Phase 5 kicks in on Wednesday with no restrictions finally.Went cutting about 3 weeks ago going out again within the month

Any spare time I've had over the past three weekends has been working on getting this old girl running. As many would know, these old Cats have a 600cc 2 cylinder boxer petrol starting engine to start the diesel main engine. I had to rebuild the magneto and clean the carb out before I could get it to run and then had several adjustments to make to the engagement pinion before I could get the main diesel to start. Finally, on Saturday I got everything right and the main diesel made smoke - the first time in many years. Very very satisfying! The 87-year-old owner (on whose estate I cut wood) was absolutely thrilled. And for a machine built in 1940, I have to say the quality and engineering is superb - American engineering at its finest.
