Uh have you tried specing a new truck with a Cat engine in the past 10+ years? Also, if you think a 3406 is 3406 ci like your comment suggests, you might want to refresh your knowledge of a 3406. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I have not. Lately been using coal slag. Works good and fairly cheap - $12 for 50lb at Tractor Supply. Thanks for watching and commenting.

They are really good tools. My dads store stocked Proto and SK tools in the 50s,60s,70s. He gave me the 1/4' set when i was about 10 years old. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it. I was standing right across the street from the Red Top. It was a very nice parade. Lot's of stuff I didn't get video of. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The specs for the knives are: 5/32" x 11/16" x 13 1/8". I use a dial caliper to set the knives. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@elwellboy Thanks for the reply and it's good to know I ordered the right blades. I'm going to try the magnetic gauges . I think . Because mine is missing a few of the adjustment springs that go under the knives . Do you know of a site i can order the springs ?maybe specs on the springs ? Also realy enjoyed the videos . I watched all of them on the plainer. Very useful and helpful information . .

@@jerrydrake8179 Glad to help. Check out Renovo Parts at - www.renovoparts.com/ - I've had good luck finding Delta parts there. Good luck.

@@elwellboy will do thanks again for the reply

I started as a "choker dog" in early 70s in northwest Washington then on to SE AK for a few years pulling riggin and tending hook. Loved working in the woods. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yep - don't see wood like that anymore around the PNW. Worked in SE AK in 70s - lots of big Spruce. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes

The wedges do basically two things - keep the tree from pinching the saw and providing a slight lift to tilt the tree. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Unfortunately, I no longer have the saw. I sold it shortly after completing the restoration. Rather than restoring the motor, I'd suggest focusing getting the saw restored and then look online (eBay, Craigslist, etc) for a suitible motor or maybe locate a good electric motor repair shop and see if they have any suggestions. Good luck. These are good saws and worth restoring. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Those were the "good ol days". Very little cable logging these days. Most guys today wouldn't have a clue how to rig a tail tree. I worked at Corner Bay in SE in early 70s. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

These trailer configurations can be backed up but are tricky and require experience but drivers try to avoid the need to backup. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you found the video helpful. Sorry you had difficulty making your cuts. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks. I've actually improved it a bit. Instead of using a siphon, I added a garden hose connection with a valve to control the water flow. Works awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Don't think I'd use that combination to cut tile. It might work but would be difficult to be very precise as needed for tile work. I'd suggest a tile saw. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@elwellboy you can use a spirit level clamped to the tile as a fence to run the saw in a straight line..

Glad you enjoyed the video. If you look on page 200, there is a picture of JH Bloedel's 80th birthday. Hugh Galbraith is the third from far left. Lots of interesting logging history. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Interesting. My grandfather started working for Bloedel Donovan at the Larson mill around 1910 and was the planer mill foreman. Those old timers would flip if they saw all the little wood that is being logged today. Again, thanks for watching and commenting.

Me alegra que hayas disfrutado el vídeo. Gracias por ver y comentar.

Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of logging/family history. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Nice. Buster was sort of a timber cutting egend in this area. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Awesome - So were at False Island for Soderberg? Knew a few guys that worked there in the 70s. I was at Corner Bay pulling rigging and tending hook. Alot has changed since the days of big wood and kinky 1 1/8" chokers. Thanks for watching and commenting.

False Island, also worked for them later in Kake. Got the job through Art Brooks aka the Man catcher as Don Brown used to call him. He had an office in the Smith tower in Seattle. Art used to be president of the Alaska Loggers Association, then turned state witness when Reed brothers sued LP for their monopolization of the industry in S.E. Anyway turns I got cause during a card game one guy got stabbed so he went back to his room, got a gun and shot the guy who stabbed em. Hence they were shy two hands. Didn't find out till I got to camp. Was real nice and polite to them fellers, and didn't play cards with them. Never go to Corner Bay, worked for Whitestone out of Hoonah, and eight fathom bight for Silver Bay Logging. Your right about those kinky 1&1/8 chokers, like trying to wrestle a python. First time I saw em I said to myself, how come there sending us those guy lines on the rigging lol.

I believe a starter assembly for a SP 125 will fit a pro Mac 105. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@elwellboy Thank you very much

Too funny - Not sure how he got the nickname. I'm sure there's a good story behind it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yep - some things you never forget. I haven't been in the rigging for almost 50 years and I still wake up to make sure I'm not standing under the haulback! haha. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Nice - looking forward to it.

They had bigger saws!! Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@elwellboy do you truly believe that?

@@elwellboy even if your saw was 100X bigger, no way could you cut granite with their precision. You’re using a diamond blade, something the dynastic Egyptians couldn’t even dream of. They used copper (not even bronze) This couldn’t even be done with diamond blades or steel blades. People like you scoffing at people like me is why it’s so hard to make actual progress.

​@@SpeedDemonAquatics And "people like you" scoff in underestimation of what can be accomplished by an inexhaustible labor force. You _do_ realize that union advocates were used to grease the undersides of the slabs, right? Do you have any idea how callous Pharaoh's indifference to human life was then? Only from our present cultural standard could somebody believe that alien stone-cutting technologies are a more plausible explanation than the sheer force of tenacity over (you mentioned it) dynasties. Have you ever shaped a piece of granite? It's not magical; it's stone. If you had, you'd know that granite can be scratched easily-with granite.

This outfit is rarely doing yarder shows. Mostly shovel logging. Probably not worth the investment since yarder logging is not their focus. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Not much timber this size being yarded in Washington these days. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks. I've improved the set up a bit and have used it several times. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Built up some good arm strength back in the day - saw was heavy as hell and then the case!! hahaha Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helps in getting your saw back to like new condition. They are great saws. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Interesting. Do you have any further information on your grandfather? I am in the process of putting together a rather extensive Galbraith family history and would be very interested to see where he fits in. Email me at: elwellboy@gmail.com if you have any info. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You don't see much of this big timber anymore except maybe in SE Alaska or British Columbia. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it. I have several of these 33s and 35s in my collection. One is fitted with a 3/4" jacobs chuck for drilling timbers. Thanks for watching and commenting.

A saw fitted with a 3/4" jacobs chuck? Now that is something I have never seen. If you have a vid on it, I'll check it out. Have you had to get parts for your 33? If so, where did you get them?

i've had good luck finding parts for most all my saws on eBay. There is a sight called chainsawparts that has just about everything. I've actually visited the guy and his old parts supply is amazing. Good luck.@@EightWheelsRollin

Sounds like the kind of parts store I'm looking for, I'll check him out. Thanks!

www.ebay.com/str/cheapchainsawpartssawparts?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211 - This is the guy I deal with most but there are many others. Just enter the model and part your looking for and you'll likely find someone selling one.

Yep

Nice - My brother in law cut timber for Mare back in the 60s then he and I worked in SE AK in the early/mid 70s. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I haven't. I switched to using coal slag. Sifting the bigger stuff out of the sand was a pain. Coal slag available at HD and Tractor Supply-about $12 for 50 lbs. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Also, aluminum oxide is a LOT more expensive. Play sand was also a pain to sift out the larger particles. Now using coal slag. 50 pounds available for about $10. Thanks for watching and commenting.

​@@elwellboyHow come u don't make parade videos anymore

@@alicialandis3288 I've missed the last few July 4th Parades. I plan to do a video of this year's parade so stay tuned.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hmmm - Not sure I have much to offer. Are the shoulders on the new cutter head exactly the same dimensions as the old one? The bearings should be a reasonably tight fit in the bearing housings so that the outer races don't spin. Is there any indication inside the bearing housings that would indicate that the outer races have spun at all. Sorry I don't feel like thats much help. Hope you get it figured out. Let me know how its goes.
