What was wrong with it? It ran fine, if you didn’t mind gasoline leaking down your leg, and it running for only a couple of minutes.

Maybe I shouldn’t have set it on top of my running tractor. It fell five feet down onto a concrete floor. Turns out that’s bad for the gas tank.

No kind of glue would fix it. And you can’t just replace the gas tank: it’s integralto the chassis.

So I bought a new crank case. And Phil swapped the guts of the saw into it.

Runs fine now, and does not leak.

Thanks again to Wild Green Future for the generous grant that bought this Husqvarna 460 Rancher 24-inch chainsaw, as well as two outboard motors, a trolling motor, some LIFEPO2 batteries, and related items.

After the holidays, we’ll be back to doing chainsaw cleanups. Continue reading →

This was in Citizens Wishing to Be Heard in the April 9, 2024, Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission.

Earlier when I was talking to the Chairman he indicated the early takeout at Sugar Creek was a bit difficult due to a deadfall. So I mentioned that once the water gets low enough, we’ll work on that and other deadfalls, but meanwhile our chainsaws don’t work well underwater. I requested suggestions for when in March 2025 to hold the next one. I said WWALS has recently acquired a jon boat and outboard, and we’d be happy to take people out on the river, including Commissioners. Continue reading →
