Well I broke my main line on the 540 and lost the end wedge.  Then got completely drowned by a passing storm.  Bit Iguess not nearly as bad as yours.

On the bright side you know how to weld.  Not a great way to spend such a nice day.  I'm resting up after cracking a rib or two being silly.

Sorry about your luck but mine has been very productive lol. Although I do have a boom cylinder fresh rebuilt in the back of the truck. But I'll take that. Happy welding.

Was this that machine you had up on the clearcut, or the other high cut? Looks like you got it back to the shop at least. That is a bad break. Hope you can pull it back in to fit. At least it isn't snowing...yet. Sorry man. For myself, nothing blew up today.

A windy nautical day here in Nova Scotia. Spent the afternoon milling six pine logs, 12 footers. Got six 6x6's, twelve 2x3's, about fifty 1x4 and the scraps will be cut up for 1 cu ft bagged kindling. Already did 5 bags, probably another 8-10 to do.

Barge, you sure that's not supposed to be like that?  Maybe it's designed to make changing the bushing easier.   :D

 It's not as bad as it could have been, I've cut ALOT of wood with that loader and never put much money in it. I'm lucky it happened 4 miles from my shop, not exactly fun but it's getting some other maintenance while it's there. Monday I had some broken bolts in my Timbco sawhead, Tuesday I open my saw box to find a squished 372 no one ??? knows anything about ? Wednesday I finished off 562 #2, cant cry to bad the saw was WHIPPED 😂, then this on Thursday, Friday I was kind of gun shy wanting to go to the woods but I dont think ? anything went wrong. The last while I havent had bad weeks so you will have this.

Nope , I cut 18 trees yesterday and 12 today , most stuff is 3 ft or so on stump so not big stuff . Wife said I got to cut grass so I just home plus being sunday I did not start very early . My falling saws are just abit louder than stock ;D, its so wet here Im 1 of a very few working as most bush is under water , on this cut Im sure I got 50 acres under water .
