“Hello, You have reached the ‘Men’s Help Line.’  My name isBob.  How can I help you?”
“Hi Bob,  I really need your advice on a serious problem. Ihave suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. Youknow, just the usual signs; The phone rings and when I answer, the caller hangsup. Plus, she goes out with ‘the girls’ a lot. I usually try to stay awake tolook out for her when she comes home, but I always fall asleep. Anyway, lastnight about midnight, I woke up and she was not home. So I hid in the garagebehind my boat and waited for her.
When she came home, she got out of someone’s car, buttoning herblouse. It was at that moment, while crouched behind the boat, that I noticed ahairline crack in the outboard motor mounting bracket. Is that something I canweld, or do I need to replace the whole bracket?”

Subject: [TheForge] hydraulic chainsaws

hello;;

long time no write.

I am getting too  old to continue to fight with 2-cycle chainsaws.
i did learn my lesson about using gasoline with ethanol in it. the fuel
lines were turned to a glob of rubber. The Stihl chainsaws just do not
want to start for me.

i have seen several hydraulic chains. there are seeral used ones up for
sale and I am considering one of them. Just hook it into the read
hydaulics on the back of the tractor and start cutting.

I have several  dead chainsaws and figure it would worth asking if
anyone had ever used the pieces of a gas chainsaw to build an hydraulic
chainsaw. just a small hydraulic motor and a small trigger operated
spool valve.

I would appreciate any hints or suggestions as to how to get gasoline
chainsaws to start most of the time instead of none of the time.
