My dad planted this sequoia about 15 years ago, it’s almost 3’ at the baseAnd the roadies are in bloom

Depending on what county you're in here they use limestone or flint rock.
And I'm pretty sure they still use oil out here of that dust free treatment people will get a couple hundred feet in front of their drive way.



How old is that sucker you think?

They used to use coal ash on the roads in Pennsylvania when I was a kid. Winter traction enhancements!

I found this at my friends house she just inherited
Her dad bought it new in 1980
It's been setting over 10 year's
I got it running it will need a carb kit.

got a stihl carbide chain here
slower than normal chisel
look at diffs in grind
i use it to clean paint off old beams
some o that paint kills chisel pretty quick
the carbide has seen dozens of sticks, havent had to grind it yet

I know how sensitive the stihl guy's are
But that series imho sucks
Especially compared with the
1 going into 2 series huskys back then.

Checked on my elderly neighbor he was on the ground
After trying to start this Honda mini tiller for 20 minutes
I drained it out he must've had 2 quarts of oil in this thing.

They’d make a good stump chain then I suppose

I have Stihl Picco Duro3 & Rapid Duro3.
The Rapid Duro3 wasn't far behind any other round filed full chisel work chain, but it raced through sand and mud as if it weren't there. I used that chain a year long on my PS-6400, when I noticed I need to push the saw for the chain to cut I took it off.
Great chain!

My Picco Duro3 is still good, I don't use it much as it is dedicated to a 40cc saw.

They’d make a good stump chain then I suppose

Carbide does not like "foreign objects"!
Stones will cause the carbide inserts to shatter and turn the chain to scrap metal.

Mud, dirt and sand are not an issue for carbide, at least not instantly!

Beauty rhody
You can’t beat the spring after a dull winter waiting for everything
Too spring too life

Mr. @Philbert , is this a "diamond" or CBN grinding wheel ?
Is there a way to tell the difference?
Any diamond abrasive media I encountered so far was colourless/silver.
This wheel shipped with a grey dressing stone, which makes me think it is a CBN wheel.
I can provide better/different pictures tomorrow.





Thank You for any info You may be able to provide.
And, Yes I will ask the seller too.

Cheers

I am perfectly fine with either, but the adhesives brown colour and the dressing stone kinda threw me a curve ball.

I just want to make sure I know what I have for future posts and possible YT videos.

No harm done if it is in fact a CBN wheel!

Eventually. Gotta clean up the property and get my shop built first. Hoping materials go down soon.
