A day cutting wood

Quantities of lumber are tallied using the Roman numeral M for one thousand thus one Mbf is one thousand bf. There is no Roman numeral for a Million so a Million board feet is usually shown as 1MMbf. Notice that the M is properly capitalized.

Had to get a new pump, old one leaks.

The best thing with the cat, is the reach, So handy.

Pretty smooth character. 8)

I like that pump Peter.

It reminds me of the tank with a hand pump we had when we custom baled hay. The thing got a lot of use as we would go through 200 or more gallons a week. It caused us to have a universal sign for Do you need gas?

No doubt it is the easiest option, but sure not the only option. I have broken down and fixed many tires with basic hand tools, when I had no choice, but I did have air. years ago I carried a tool that screwed in to a spark plug hole that provided air, haven't seen one for years now.
Try running the Dalton, it is only 500 miles between tire repairs.

I remember those spark plug air tools. Only thing was, it was pumping some gas in there too.

The reach of a Lull is awesome around a mill. My first choice for a sawmill machine.

Yea, but nothing like airing them up with propane.

Is there a story - with photos!!! - to go along with that statement?

starmac · February 23, 2018, 03:54:40 PM

No story, but it is common practice. When I ran my shop I literally hated it if a farmer brought one in and didn't tell me, the smell makes me sick, so I would let the air out of them outside.

Now I did have to go out and mount some new tires on a new trailer house. Someone had told the man in charge at the manufacturer that propane would run cooler, and those cheesy trailer house tires would last longer, well when the first one blew, it ignited and before they got stopped, 3 out of the 4 on that side had blown and blew the floor out of the trailer the length of the wheels about 2 foot wide.

Ether works very well too.

Ether works very well too. just make sure you dont over do it. the result is a CO2 filled tire

starmac · February 23, 2018, 05:50:22 PM

I have used either to seat the bead thousands of times, but don't know how you could inflate a tire with it. I did use quite a bit in a big tractor tire one time, and when it exploded it aired the tire all the way up, for just a second, as soon as the air cooled off it went almost flat again.

Peter Drouin · February 23, 2018, 05:55:10 PM

Ya Dave the reach to pile logs is nice too.

4x4American · February 23, 2018, 06:42:03 PM

Welp had a busy week this week. Sent out 3 TT loads, and have another load cut and ready to go lol

Peter Drouin · February 23, 2018, 06:59:40 PM
