That's my 395 with 42" bar for reference.

Protected tree so can't drop it. Am risking a random lightening strike or vigilante treehugger backlash just resting a saw against it.

Not many big trees around. Forests were hammered mainly by early settlers for housing, ships, etc.

So this is the regression of the engineer at my work. this has worked flawlessly

This is on the new press. Who knows why the *f-word he changed it.
Before and after very first time of turning the pump on

He really thought them grade 8 bolts would hold. Granted they are not designed for that kind of usage.

Yeah, the way to reduce loads is to increase the lever.

View attachment 120534 Longleaf pine fat lighter. The wood is super sticky and burns like it was soaked in diesel.

Some old timers here call it "lighter knot". Your assessment is spot on. They use it to start fires.

I've heard it called lighter knot, pitch pine, rich pine, and fat wood, Most everyone around here just says fat lighter. Another great source for this is catfaces from the turpentine era.

Bigger bolts and a key then weld it on.

Yeah and some more bracing too.

He is a tree hunter and thinking the minimal is more than plenty.

Can't tell yeah how much crap gets wasted until he has figured it out over the years.

These are catfaces from the turpentine industry. I used to see these all the time whenever I was a kid but they're becoming harder and harder to find. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_stores_industry

Tiny piece of piston pin retainer I failed to clean out of the crankcase stuck to my magnet.

Took out the replacement PC.

Let’s be careful out there.
