I am using a Breezewood mill. The wheels have suffered damage to the 'tire' part of the cast iron wheels. The 'tire' appears to be a cast in place neoprene surface which extends across the face and down the sides about 1/4". I'm looking to find a place to get them resurfaced. Any help?

I have a 2009 Lt 40 hydraulic with a Kohler 28 hp engine
A few weeks back it developed a backfire in the exhaust when decelerating after the cut. It occurs after the engine warms up discussed with a few engine people and they steered me toward a burnt valve. With the engine having 7000 hrs I decided to replace the complete head assemblies. Tore down the engine cleaned it up installed the new heads and replaced the engine on the mill. Fired up and started milling when engine warmed it proceeded to backfire again. Pulled the o2 sensor was all carboned. Cleaned and replaced and ordered a new one. Still backfiring and now seems to be running rich. Looking at replacing the throttle position sensor.Read More

My last job was cutting cedar 6x6 posts and cedar 2x stock for porch railings and pickets.

My method was:
1. Center the pith end to end with the toe boards, 2. Mark my 6x6 marks on the end of the log
3. Align my blade on my upper mark
4. Then used the Auto Up on Accuset 2 to get one or two 2x flitchesRead More
