No automatic tensioning on the Quick Chain Adjuster. There is a Semi-Automatic belt tensioner on the Cut-Off machines.

Ok, I found this: It's a similar setup, it seems. The large wheel is like the front one on mine - it locks or unlocks the bar adjustment. The thumbwheel on top is like the rear one on mine - it applies or releases tension on the bar.

Installed some 6” I-Beams so it easier to roll the logs to the hydraulic loader arms on my Woodmizer LT40.

Felled some trees to make room for the sceptic tank. Milled the trees up on the Woodmizer LT 15 to build the solar panel system for the cabin in Alaska.

Forgot about this thread. Can’t wait to get back up to the mountains and continue this micro cabin:

Added some stabilization to the down stream side of the dual 48” culvert tubes.

Once the water went down to a reasonable level, rebuilt the bridge. Added an additional 48” x 40’ culvert tube next to the existing one.

Fired up the sawmill and cut lumber and built a “land bridge” so the residents could get to work, school, shopping, etc.

Road and bridge washed out. Left 7 families stranded with no way out of the valley.

Roads flooded, yards and pastures underwater.

Had a bit of a water problem in March of 2024.

Track tensioner cylinder is frozen. Could not get it backed off / loosened in order to put the track back on. Also found a few broken bolts that I had to drill out. Removed the assembly.

Parts arrived and it going back together.

Picked up a Lucas M613 that was missing some parts and needed some maintenance. Converted it to a swing blade dimensional saw mill. The biggest cant it will mill is a 6”x6”.

Busy morning milling some 1”x12”’s for siding.

Apparently so 😆. It is the first place they come in to lay after being out in the heat. Got the finish put on today. Osmo hard wax oil.

Replaced the bent front bumper with one from my 96. Didn’t fit so installed the home made one from my 1992.

New weather guard floor mats. Should have installed these in my rigs years ago.

New mirrors installed.

I bought a 20V Dewalt chainsaw specifically to cut small stumps at ground level. It has the toolless chain adjustment and has worked great despite cutting in the dirt. Intent was to sacrifice the saw but it's still going strong after 3 new chains.

Depends on the brand and model. STIHL came out with the Quick Chain Adjuster in the early late 80’s / 90’s. They have proven to be bullet proof. They are only offered on the homeowner sized chainsaws when two bar studs are not needed.

Maybe I’m wrong here

I see what you mean. I’ll double check the upper washer.

Mass Air Flow sensor went out while test driving it. Installed one from another one of my rigs. Running once again.

Fuel tank was a bit rusty but the fuel pickup tube fell off. Installed a new fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel sending unit.
