I recently posted about installing a Lubemizer on my LT40 and running diesel for lube. I still believe I made the right decision to install it, but I'm having one heck of a time dealing with leaks and drips.

I am brand new to sawmilling and was given a pile of walnut logs that have been left in the Oklahoma sun for a lot of years.

I have a 2012 TK 2000 with the 37hp Kohler on it it has low hours that has never been used commercially. The hour meter stopped displaying some time ago. I'm guessing hours are around 200. I believe this to be a pretty accurate estimate, I bought my mower at the same time and it has 400 hours on it. I haven't used the sawmill even close to as much as the mower. I couldn't think of a better place to get opinions on it's worth than here. Read More
