[SEL] Galloway 5hp Saw Outfit ..long ramble

[Richard Strobel]

I really appreciate all the replies gang!!  It was the most fun I could ever 
have..at my age :-))
  Still need to "Coon-Tune" some pinstriping and do something with the 
bearing(s) on the belt tensioner.  Latch needs some work and it needs 
retimed.

  I do wish I would have painted it in the bright sunlight as I now see some 
spots that didn't get covered well.  It does shine a lot better than the 
pictures show.   I'm very happy with the Nason paint and it didn't dig too 
deep into my pockets.

  Alan, I've cut a few discs like Curt and Missy do, but haven't even put a 
sharp on the blade yet.  That revolving 1500 rpm blade is sure 
intimidating...and the blade condition is #1 on my safety list..so far it 
doesn't get warm.

  The automatic greaser on the rod works very well.  I believe it was Pip 
who recommended the 10 to 4 clock angle on the flow control.  This appears 
to work very well.  Be careful with a new one, the flow control screwdriver 
slot turns VERY hard and easy to strip out.  THANKS Pip!!

  The Webster thanks to Ted and Bill seems very strong.  Maybe one of these 
days I'll send the tag to one of them and have them transfer the stamping to 
the new tag.  It sure looks good and glad someone makes repro's.


  Curt, the finish on the wheel (trucks) is the stuff you insulate plier 
handles with.  Somewhile back we talked about using truck bed liner like 
Rhino liner.  I believe that would work better as the other stuff sure picks 
up crap.

  This baby is heavy and there's no way I can pull it on the grass.  Just 
glad the neighbor kid stopped by with the wheeler.   He's a strong lad :-)


Again thanks all..more pictures to come with the PO and some scenery shots 
as soon as I go get the neighbors trailer.

Have a good'un!!
Rick
