relentless rider, I like step one on how to get the hippies out of the tree's. Ported 044 or 066 works well I bet.

 

[relentless rider]

Yep the 066 works great,well did the piston smacked the top of the head and broke the rings.I put a new big bore on it ported,first pull it started and ran for 3 seconds and locked up,a peace of ring was stuck in bottom end.So now its the old 056av ported on race fuel.

 

[Scott]

A friend of ours had an old 096 back when I was a kid.
I don't remember how long of bar it had...but I swear it was 48" or longer.
I'll ask my dad what that thing was.

That thing was UNREAL!!!!!

 

[WestMont]

Scott, Do you remember if he used the saw around here? I thought maybe cutting spruce in Idaho or something or maybe even worked over on the coast to need a saw that big. He must have also needed a five gallon can to carry enough fuel to run it.

On a good note it sure has been a nice to see a few logging trucks running up and down the road once in awhile. Everyone can remeber when they were common place truck after truck headed to the mills and now when you see one it seems to be a rare site.

I went down the driveway and back a half a dozen times to "spread the gravel out". Wife was impressed with me too.
Got a big load of wood today, about 2' above the cab with the old 454 chev. Of course the nice big fir trees were in the crick bottom. Long story short, I damn near got stuck in 3' of mud with 1 1/2 cord of wood in the bed of the truck. Then I decided I needed more speed and had it on two wheels with my lumber rack leaning over almost touching the ground. Then, I had my head out the window to see where I was going and got covered in mud. Best part was the wife and kid were with watching the whole thing! She decided that we need to have a camera with on every occasion.

Yep,i miss working in the woods,would go back in a heart bet, if there was work!! I blam it on the hippies.The timber industry suported lots of familys,and plus are way of life.

Ya, you know that look too. Like when we're working on sleds till 3am and then revving them up in the attached garage.

 

[Scott]

I don't know where it came from, but he used it for getting firewood. LOL

 

[relentless rider]

Yep, i thought she was going to kill us. My wife asked me how i could stay up all night working on sleds,i thank she thanks im on drugs

 

[relentless rider]

Thoses old timers were tuff,to thank thats the saws they packed all day up and down the mountians.
