OK- here it Tiz... Before
« on: February 06, 2006, 12:19:41 pm »
Here's "Ellwood"... the before pictures of my Wood-Mizer LT40hd as I start work on him today.

I bought him used, and I'll be rewiring, doing an engine swap, and adding many new parts.

I'm going to be taking pics of my progress, and probably will need help and be asking lots of questions to the LT40 experts here on the FF..  :) 8) :) :)
















This is lumber I milled with my Husky 3120 and my Woodbug sawmill.  It's smooth to the touch, and dead on dimention and square. This is my rougher chain also.  I can get even a smoother cut.

It's all setting on my new 26' x 28' woodshop slab that's ready and waiting for construction.  Ellwood's here just in time to help finish the lumber I need to git-her-done... smiley_beertoast


Note from Admin
Sorry JP but again,the pics have to be uploaded to the Forum and must be resized below 20K. I hope you can get them into your gallery and posted again.

 Wow, that's a heck of a step up from a Chainsawmill to a Lt40Hd.

What is wrong with the current engine?

Thanks DoubleD... I love Olio Olive, and want to go to Italy some day..  8)


Jon-

The engine runs but not to well. Fired it up and runs like a rattle trap.  Definitely firing hotter one cyl more than the other. It may just need a tuneup, but for what I paid for the mill I wanted a new engine. I was going to buy a new Peterson, and decided to bring this one up running like a new machine.  Then I'll get a Peterson (someday)..  ;D


Gary-

Don't have a video camera. Maybe someone I know does, and will shoot it running.  I'll let you know how she does.

I use my digital camera to create an AVI (which are large files) I then open up Windows Movie Maker and bring it into that application, you can do a customize size and make it a wmv.  It will make a 1 minute 20 second video into a 1mb wmv.  The more you cocmpress the less the quality.  Microsoft Media Player will then play that wmv file.

All I have is Photoshop, and it took me awhile to see what the max I could upload was with my program cause the numbers don't match, but I finally got it.

JP - Can't wait to see some of the work in progress photos.  I bet you will have that thing running like a champ!  Wish I lived closer, that would be a fun project to help out on.  Send some more pics of your property, looks like pretty country.  Are you on top of a mountain?  Good luck.  Keep us posted!

JP - I'm putting a mark on my map of places to visit!  What a great view.  Thanks for the invite.  I'm just the type of person who might call you up one day and say I'm on my way.  If you ever get caught up on all of your projects and get time to make it over to the eastern side you know where to find me.  Thanks for the pics.

Looks like you could power a dragster with that thing  :D

I'm sure that will do the trick for ya, and should have power to spare too. Are you sure your buddy don't wanna swing one more of them sweet deals?  ;D

Is your original engine set up with an auto clutch? What is the weight comparison between the old engine and the new one?

No auto clutch on the engine (and I'm not sure what that does).

Th Kawasaki is a little heavier than the Onan.  It's about 122 lbs.  I'm replacing the dual up/down chain with the new WoodMizer chain so it can easily handle the extra weight, and I had to do that to install the new debarker anyways.

I forgot the exact weight number on the Onan.

Spent all day scrubbing this mill by hand because my pressure washer pump died..  ::)  Anyone know anything about those?

Cleaned up fairly decent, and I've got more to do, but I've decided not to paint it this year cause I've got to much to do.  Anyone want to buy some new single stage (with hardener and reducer) premium paint computer matched to the new WM color?
