Got the same problem on a Toro LX460. It has a Kohler courage 20 HP. I've put red heat n oil RTV on it no luck. Put new gasket with black RTV. Still leaks. They make a repair kit for these engines. Comes with a new valve cover, gasket, and an extra piece of metal that goes around the bottom half of valve cover to hopefully fix the leak. Gonna try that next. Great video. Hope your repair works.
Good deal I’d take that maple too
Yep I took all I could haul
Yup, take what you can get
For sure. I hope I can get some more
What no battery powered Milwaukee ??
Nope! Gotta make some noise in the neighborhood 🤣🤣
Good video. When it comes to free wood and targets, I have the same philosophy.
Thanks . If I own the stuff I'll risk it. But I don't want wreck somebody else's stuff.
Close and free is hard to beat.
Yep. That doesn't happen very often.
👋🏻
Hey Eddy 👋
good vid mike
Thanks
Woulda went viral if ya just started dropping trees on his house an boat an stuff an just laughing
Nice score!
Thanks. It sure was.
Still a nice score Mike 😉👍
Thanks Daniel. I think we'll get a few more loads out of there when he gets more cut down.
Hey Mike , nice score on the firewood . I don’t blame you for not wanting to cut the trees down either . To many targets of opportunity . 👍🏻🇺🇸
The owner says he's gonna cut more down so we may get some more out of the deal. Thanks Del.
Hey Mike, that second one had good balance, you looking at it thinking what’s going on ? Perfect cut- just needed a little persuasion. As the previous owner of Rusty would say, looks like the trailer load was “ 3 face cords or one full cord, if you prefer” !!
Yep the second one was perfectly straight!
Hi Mike!!😀😀 Good to see you buddy!! Nice score!!
Hey Al. Thanks for stopping in!!
I like free firewood.
I always say FREE is good! Thanks Dave.
Nice to see trusty rusty still hauling loads on KZread. Wow you really have it fixed up great ❤👍😎 Pat from northwest WI
Thanks Pat. Rusty but Trusty is gonna be on KZread for a long time!
two loads is a lot of work
Yes it is. But we got a lot of nice wood out of it. Hopefully we'll be able to get some more from there.
Hello Mike, Nice load👏🪵👍🏼
Hey Larry and Robin. Hope things are good in your neck of the woods.
" a lot of targets" well said. Lol.
I don't like to break things I don't own!!🤣🤣
Wait,there's hills there????😂😂Great video Mike!!!!!! Great score.👍👊💚🌳
Yes sir we got a few hills in these parts. Thanks tree Fella!!
Mike , a true logger cut his wedge the other way . See this a lots on u tube cutting out wedge backward to me . Remember wedge got to clean and your chainsaw handle give your angle to fall the logs 🪵 or timber. 😊 Remember STICK on the ICE 🧊, SAW in the WOOD 🪵 and RUBBER on the ROAD . 😊
Thanks Leonard
In my cuttin' days I scrounged firewood from wherever I could, no shame in that. But I never cut when it was above 60F, way too warm for me ! LOL
Yeah 60 is perfect working weather. Thanks Patrick
i used to live in the 906 in calumet
That's a great part of the UP
I've got Walker Turner drill press', table saw, band saw, planer.....it all needs to be cleaned. ....I'm thinking PINK is out....and RUST is the new cool.........Yeah....that's it....I may not need to clean them after all. tHanks for the video
Thanks for watching the video.
hi there lots of work john
Hey John. Yep it is.
Limb wood comes out and gets mixed in with all the rest of the other firewood we sell.
Yep it all adds up.
Wow, 25 trees to make 60 face cord, you have big trees there! I am on the opposite! 60 trees for 25 face cords! Lol! I did not like much collecting the small diameter for cordwood, until I got a boiler. I collect them in lengths of 4 ft, which are easy to transport out of the wood and to cord in my wood shed. So I handle them once before they are burnt in the wood boiler. A lot of time saving. Then the small wood is worth more than the bigger stuff I need to buck & split and then handle 2-3 times. Thanks!
The smaller stuff really makes sense for the boilers. Easy to handle and easy to process. I'm working on a boiler for heating my shop. Thanks for your input.
Nothing wrong with cleaning up the limb wood
I agree. Thanks Jeff.
Hello Mike, Limb wood burns great, we use a lot in our outdoor boiler 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Definitely good for that. No splitting and don't have to be exact length. Take care y'all 🙂
Glad to see you have a real saw!!
I really like the 550XP Mark II
My rule of thumb is if it's as big around as my wrist then it goes with us. I do have a chunky wrist though.
That's a good rule
Of course it's worth it, just as good as anything else
I agree
Hey there Mr. Mike! I am surprised that the snow is all gone...enjoy your week without it!
Hey Chris. Ya never know we might get two weeks without snow!!
I usually cut it into 6-12 ft lengths and carry out to the trailer. I cut it up on a saw buck at home on days it’s too muddy or hot to be in the woods. It keeps the saw out of the dirt and keeps my back straight from less bending over to pick up all of the pieces and less trips back and forth to the trailer.
We have hauled ot out in lengths too. That works pretty well.
So now I know you can use a chainsaw and count tree stumps. Impressive.
I have many talents.
I cook and have little fires with the small stuff
Yep. There is always a use for it.
👋🏼
👋🏼
Hey Eddy. 👋
Hey Mike , when I was growing up , we didn’t sell wood but heated with it . Limb wood was take home along with the rest of the tree . Nothing was left behind !! 👍🏻🇺🇸
I AGREE; IF IT BURNS, IT'S WORTH IT... WASTE NOT WANT NOT. STAY COOL, FOLKS; PEACE FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
Hey Del. That's a good way to do it. The stuff that we end up leaving behind initially usually is because of deep snow. But we try to get back to it when the snow is gone.
We have been doing this for a long time we knock them down fail the branch and pull everything out at once, we do limb down to about three inches and we don't split under six inches. We do about forty five cords to divide three ways and yes it is worth doing it
Good way to do it
Limb wood is good as long as it's big enough
I agree. Anything smaller tha 3 or so inches I leave in the woods
Most definitely worth the time and it will burn just as good.
Yes sir. Thanks Craig
Mike stumps can’t be over 6 “ long left in hardwood in the forest. Cut a top of the stumps with the chainsaw make them rotten faster Mike 😊. For everyone you cut down 6 to 14 new one grown back around the stump for you trees hugger 😊. Check out my logger buddy this morning on U tube BJarne Butler cut little fir 🌲 on the west coast of BC Canada 🇨🇦. My fishing and hunting lodge make from FIR & Cedar beautiful wood 🪵 to work with if your in carpenter trade Mike . Doyles scale will give you board foot 🦶 in to the timber Mike . 😊😊
I like high stumps! Thanks Leonard
Mike..... I cut everything 3 to 4 inches and upward. In my opinion, mixing that in with regular size pieces makes for perfect bundles.
Yep it's all good wood. Hope things are well on Catbird Hill
Have heard limb wood has more btus than trunk wood. So less work and more heat.😊
I have heard the same.
Put minerals on all those rotten stumps and damn you got that nice black dirt out in sum clover. Great video but I’ve never seen a yooper that can count past a 24 pac
I was mathing good that day!
It's your own property and it helps clean things up so I would say its worth it.
For sure. Those piles we left will break down quickly.
I like and keep 3 inches or more. Totally worth it in my situation too. Many times it can be easier cutting that lil stuff to when it still part of the trunk. If it’s safe to lol. Can get trick for sure. Good one today!
Thanks Stan. We can get most of the wood for his fireplace just by cutting limbs. Totally worth it for us.
I’ll take all the limb wood I can get for my Fireplace Insert as long as it is dry at burning time👍
@@aldiminico6513 Yes sir
It all comes down to is it worth it. There are some YT channels out there would say it isn't worth their time. To me, the hour of time put in seemed to be worth it. Always need firewood for heat and ambience and don't let the firewood snobs out there make decisions for you. Have a great day!
Thanks Robert. It's definitely worth it for us. Plus it's not hard on the back!! 😃
Great video Mike!! Thanks for sharing 🌳💚👍👊💚🌳
Thanks Tree Fella. Hope you are enjoying vacation
My take is if it has to be cut may as well take it home, otherwise, leave it there
110% true
That's a good way to look at it.
