Gotta ask Ed. Is the 5.3 an engine to hot rod? You have been posting a chit ton on the valve train issue. Do all these issues go away with aftermarket components? Is it design, lack of maintenance, or country of components manufacture? It seems as if the General needs to belly up to the bar on valve train failures. Your thoughts??

Firecrakies starting early guys. Stay safe, keep them battery packs charged up for the Hey Dudes Eastern Hemisphere wearing members, and by all means where the hell is @Gullet?? Enjoy your 4th!!

Didn’t get as many logs sawed today as I hoped. Had some issues with the sawdust removal chain, and issues with the first tractor I put on the mill. It was still a good day though. Here is some of the red oak we milled today.

It is independence day Tim, not the 4th of July. Everybody has a 4th of July.

Just a pet peeve of mine. Take no offense.

Any nice quartersawn boards?

Belt PTO driven Greg??

It is still setup to run off a belt or direct PTO. I will probably be eliminating the belt drive to shorten the drive shaft.

@huskihl

Hell yeah. That’s about what I usually get

There are a couple that have the appearance, but I haven’t done any real quartersawing yet. I have some really good logs in red and white oak that I want to try it on. The oak in the picture came from a big log…the cant was basically 20” x 22” before I started breaking it down.

What tractor did you run the mill with?

Good evening gents.

The kids, and grands are celebrating our independence all week. We got a new couch, threw the old one on the flatbed and watched em play. Maybe it won't rain on it till after the 4th....

This one here….pto clutch started acting screwy, so we ended with my Dad’s New Holland TD 95D. I hope I didn’t smoke the PTO clutch on the 1950.

That 1950 is a beautiful thing! I hope your clutch is alright as well, maybe something just needs adjustment.

Have a family friend who still farms with a pair of 1550's, one gas and the other diesel
