The Outdoor Board / Re: BIRDS

Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 04:54:47 AM

No hummers here yet, no flowers and cold. And have not heard any white throated sparrows yet. Those sparrows will probably be here this coming week. The old people called them 'sweet whether birds' and were often confused for black capped chickadee songs.

Bluebirds have been defending their nest box against tree swallow invasions, but there is another box that they have settled on. There's probably 6 tree swallows around the box.

Sorry for my delayed response, work was a disaster yesterday. I didn't get all the way down to see if the wire was still connected to the coil, or really inspect the switch that much, I was more involved in the carburetor at the moment. I remember it was working when I was using the saw last, but that was sometime a couple years ago, as I had been using a lighter, easier to start saw.

Thanks Peter.  I think I will pass on it.
I texted him asking how much and that was a day ago.  No photos either.

Hummers, swallows, pretty much all the usual suspects here now, hermit thrushes are present but no evening song calls from them yet

Now I am really lost. If you cou8nt Trapper (2?), gerald and mike I think we are at 36 or 37 now. We need a hall monitor.  What's in a number anyway? The point is, we are having a pig roast and we will have a great time.

Y'all need some cows. They will do the work for you and you can eat them when they are done.  Managed properly cattle will absolutely lift up all of the low hanging branches to 7' or so, they will strip off any poison ivy, and hit green briar, saplings, and young black berries hard enough that they will die off.  Their hoof action helps to incorporate the leaf litter into the soil which allow grasses to sprout where the sun hits the ground.  

You can't just leave them there and forget about them or you will loose trees, but with rotational grazing under the canopy you can get that "park like" look. i will try to get some pictures as I have several groups with woods access right now.

Sounds good to me! Same carb just tuned? Mine runs fine and will leave it alone but file this in the memory bank for later... These are OEM parts?

Mods are asleep but someone will move this to Chainsaw sub section so don't be alarmed if you can't find the post at first. Thanks for sharing

I am at a loss and don't know what else to check. 

While you had the clutch off, did you check the oil pump worm drive gear? If this is stiff on the crank it could also turn the clutch drum until they fail completely.

Part number 1123 640 7102
