Sawmills and Milling / Re: My New lt50 things not loo...
Last post by widetrackman - Today at 04:11:42 AMBen, I don't think Marty covered what I am talking about. The manual does not say what is the result is if the 1/16 min gap at the collar on the brake adj is excessive, mine from factory was 1 1/2 and would within 45 or so seconds start smoking the belt. Maybe someone would test a lt40-50 with a new belt with the gap set a 1 1/2" and see what happen's. BTW when the dealer tested the mill he never let it idle for more than a few seconds so no noise or smoking. A owner of a new Mill should not have to know about or make this adj on day one. Again IMO

General Board / Re: The weather 2024
Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 04:00:39 AM66° yesterday. Same for today. 70's for the next week.
Going to apply linseed oil on the shop walls and ceiling this morning. Planning on a coat for each of 3 days. I'll be using a splash of turpentine in each coat.
I see fruit setting on my plum, but I know most won't take. Wild fruit trees are not often as fertile as horticultural ones.
The apple blossoms are nearly gone by here now. They were 2 weeks early this spring.
I hope I have some black currants this summer, they had thousands of blooms.

Last post by TimW - Today at 01:01:29 AMQuote from: Old Greenhorn on May 30, 2024, 09:05:01 PMNormally I would think a "bling man" would be a guy with a lot of shiny jewelry, but in Howard's context, I think he just meant "blind man". I don't believe there are a lot of Bling men in Howard's circle of friends.Bling man could be describing Doc with all his merit badges.But that's just a guess.
