Kel's "trick" gear

kel · 29th March 2010, 12:07 PM

Some pics of mods/gear that make my work easier.
1+2 Spring helps groundie know (from the cab) how much tension is on line. Compress' then "locks up" in case tree wants to be difficult. Developed for a friend that works alone......occasionally.
3 Imagine this is a common storage bin for gear but thought I'ld include it as I get alot of surprised looks from customers. BTW yes my rope and harness box is below the saws, fuel and oil box.
4 066 with 25" bar has hung here for 6 yrs with no adverse effects from weather. Only negative is the 1/2" hole in the bar plugs with sawdust and causes slight drag. Easy to live with.

Very simple mod (2 x 1/2" holes) and found it alot better than orginal cable. This is a quick fix and I will make a neater version now that I'm happy with it. (in case someone is struggling, it's a trailer jockey wheel)(minus wheel)Cheers
