Well I learned a new technique to stack long (14' in this case) lumber in a tight space. I have a 5' add on to my barn with permanent crossbars built in to stack lumber. The bottom row even has the stickers permanently attached. It will hold a 4' wide stack with the barn wall on the back. It has a very low front head bumper you have to watch carefully when you stand up. I had 308 bf of mostly 1X12X14 boards from my last Whatcha sawing post I had not stacked and stickered yet. I cleared out the bottom deck to use for them. Read More

This week tear down and restoration of the 89 LT40 began. This picture shows the built up and damp sawdust inside the main beam behind the tow hitch assembly. It measured 2-3/4" deep. I was expecting more yet the bottom interior beam is none the worse for wear.

Parts arrived to repair a hydraulic switch, main drive bearing assembly, bearings and more. Overall - for 35 years and 3,000 plus hours of loading logs and offloading dimension material - its in fair to good shape.Read More

Good day. I am trying to find the 1989 LT40 electrical schematic and 1989 (1987-91) manual on a WM website.

The WM tech provided the directions but I am afraid it was not helpful.

He said: Google Woodmizer - Portable Sawmills tab - resources tab - Product Manual tab - Sawmills tab. Read More
