So what did you do today?

[Bill G]

I need to go jump on the zero turn and knock down some grass while enjoying a fe cigars tonight but the saw keep getting in the way.

 

[Bill G]

I got a bunch knocked down but the saws kept calling me. Now it is cigars and sweet tea time enjoying a clear brisk night

Fourth yard mow this year!

 

[LAWN BOY]

Ran these 2 jewels a bit today.
Poulan 3300 (18"/54cc I have 3) & Shindaiwa 695 (18"/68cc I have 3).
Just so I could cook some "Baked Beans"!
White Oak & Cherry.
I'm all about refining the baked bean recipe...
I got it down pretty good!

Had the same problem last year with bad lines on my FS45. The carb on the one I acquired (also at a yard sale) had a high speed jet tip was broken off from likely being turned in to far.

The carb kit I found had adjustable jet carb , the fuel lines, a spark plug and air filter for less than I could get a carb rebuild kit and replacement high speed jet for.

A little muffler investigation.


This baffle has seen better days . . .
Lets see what can be figured out for a replacement . . .

 

[Wilhelm]

I finished bucking & splitting my neighbors firewood logs (last years agreement).
I already refused two other "calls" to buck logs - "I'm too old for this s#it!"

 

[davidwyby]

I’m not as good at freehand milling as those guys in flip flops in the jungle. Making bowl blanks. Etc.



Awkward step out of the log pile to set the saw on the tailgate, over extended and the saw went lean and chain started to run at the saw time.

 

[Bill G]

I have seen the guys in flip flops but cannot find the video now. ..........free hand milling while smoking

looks like a No-Spill can?, oooof they've gotten pricey.

 

[davidwyby]

plastic weld maybe

Yes and they are still chit

 

[Stem]

that should work, I've used tire patches in a pinch to get by.

 

[Stem]

I have 5 or 6 of the older ones but not a fan of the newer ones, the spout/lock ring don't fit very good. I started buying the white/clear 5 gallon VP Racing knock offs from Rural King. damn near 1/3 of the price of a No-Spill.

 

[Bill G]

This is a gas can.

 

[nbbt]

plastic weld maybe

I've make repairs using folgers coffee cans cut into strips and for heat used a flat electric soldering iron. YRMV

Did another load of firewood today. Spent most of yesterday just clearing a trail to get the ATV back there.
