well i sawed my first log today,finally. it seemed like everything was against me but it finally happened. much has happened since last we spoke. the fuel pump on the engine went out, but i guess its not needed because i removed it and have been running it without it. installed alternator. drove carriage off end of tracks and had to replace the tensioner rod that u replaced. in the same incident the rear pulley housing for the feed cable broke( it had been welded before,cast iron). fabricated a whole new pulley housing and installed new 1/2" cable while i was at it. praise God it seems i'm on the right track now. i got to saw a log up today, trying to get the hang of things. everything seems to be working fine. i also built some heavy duty stops for the end of the tracks to help me keep the carriage on. i appreciate your help j and look forward to the help i'll receive from you and this forum in the future. thanks. now i gotta saw out and build a shed.
