Last post by Magicman - Today at 06:26:34 PMTake your multimeter and run it back from the hourmeter. The indication is that your switch is not switching (completely) off. Probably the "auxiliary" leg. A new switch should fix your problem.
Since the importance of the hourmeter is engine hours, personally I would make a notation in my log book and not think about it.
I have run two different new engines in my sawmill and put a new "zero hour" hourmeter in with each engine change. To me, sawmill hours mean nothing.

Last post by DanMc - Today at 06:07:46 PMI had the HM126 for a few years and loved it. My machine was one of the older units, so my machine may not have been the same as a newer unit.
Relative to the question of tracking when changing the blade: There was one time that I changed the blade, and the tracking was all messed up. I adjusted it back, but then had the same thing happen with the next blade change. Then I realized that there is a little divot machined into the mount on the adjusting side, that tensioner pushes against. If the rod that does the tensioning is not seated into that divot, then the tracking will be affected. I realized this when one time I heard a pop when the tensioner finally slipped into the divot. And then the tracking changed.

Sawmills and Milling / LT35HD - Hour meter runs with ...
Last post by DanMc - Today at 05:52:59 PMThis is so weird. A couple times recently I have had my hour meter run while I have the key off and out of the machine. I now have about 75 hours of run time that never happened.
Anybody ever hear of such a thing?

You have to put a QA on a JD.
It does not come with one.

General Board / Harvesting garlic
Last post by cutterboy - Today at 04:18:12 PM
Today was harvest day for the garlic. Planted October 31 it came up very early this spring and grew well through the spring and summer till today. This is about 10 days earlier than normal for harvest but the plants tell us when it's time to harvest and today they told me. Now, they tell us you can't grow soft neck this far north but they don't know what they are talking about. I grow both hard neck and soft neck and do well with both. In the picture above the first row is soft neck and the back row is hard neck.
I pulled them up and washed them off with the hose and laid them out on the lawn to dry.
After a while my wife cut the roots off and tied them into bundles of six.
Then I took the bundles and tied them up in the drying barn. Garlic, lumber, kindling and mint gets dried in that barn.
My wife will use a fair amount in her cooking and we will give a lot of it away to my sons (who are both great cooks) and my wife's brother. Me, I will sit and enjoy my wife's home made pasta with her home made sauce with a glass of good Italian wine.
I love the home made food.....Cutter

Forestry and Logging / Tigercat 720G Saw Speed
Last post by grahamlogging - Today at 04:05:34 PMHello,
I bought a used Tigercat 720G fellerbuncher. I have been having issues with the saw kicking on to full speed to cut. It will engage but runs very slow. If I bounce the head for a while it will finally engage at full speed. It could be instance, 15 minutes, or 40 minutes of bouncing the head for it to fully engage.
There were three wires going to the solenoid that were cut when purchased but the seller used butt splices and got the cable back together. We have changed the solenoid for the cutter, but it is still having issues.
Does anyone have any suggestions to do to fix this problem permanently?
Thanks!
