I would not use strut for that. Part of the problem is making the bag holder strong enough that it doesn't get warped in use. If that bag just had some wire stiffeners like yard leaf bags to hold it open and hold the loops open, that alone would help.

Haven't run mine, but generally chains seem more bouncy at first run and then after one of my "sharpenings," that goes away.

Did you install a new Echo oil part? Generally wondering if Echo parts will fit the Joncutter G2511?

Rather than spend $500 on welder stuff, I wonder if a set of SSQA forks might be worth considering?

After the R1 v R4 debate, we now have the TP v bidet debate. I've never seen any printed instructions for using TP. Need a new forum for "Potty Talk."

I tend to think the days of the media publishing anything that resembles the real story are pretty much over. It's either some PR puff piece or somebody repeating the same lame "news." There's probably more actual content in this thread than in the general media, perhaps few of which have even...

What do you want to fabricate? I wouldn't want to weld strut because of the galvanization and the shape of the strut. Square tube would be my preference. As for welders, yes welder and Harbor Freight are both popular options, especially on sale. If you buy a mig, I'd get some Lincoln wire...

There was a time when kids wouldn't be caught in a pair of ripped jeans for fear of looking poor. I understand stone washing to make them softer and look used, but rips?

Could someone explain the Egan pipe to me? Is it basically a tube that has been cut and rewarded at angles to clear the muffler housing or do the angles and size of the pipe serve some other function?

One could look at how much fiddling I've already done and decide Hockfire is a better value to sort things out. I don't mind putting a $99 dollar saw on the tractor just in case, but not so sure about keeping a $500 saw on it.

Pretty hard to spill gas filling that kind of jug because of the wide opening plus it has a vent for easy pouring. And it can be sealed tightly for storage. No fool spring loaded spout to mess things up. But allow us to use a gas container that makes sense?
