I was wondering if you ever did get it.
Was it the guy I was thinking it was with the 1800-1900's shingle mill?

Thanks everyone,I worked on it over weekend and got almost everything working.I've got to call TK. and ask about the log set box( ? ). This mill has not been used for years, so lots of little things to get working.If any b-20 owners have tips I need to check out before I put a log on and start getting rust off the band wheels. Once I saw some junk wood up to polish things I figure I will square things up and be ready to make lumber. Now to answer your questions , SC400  yes.      LL  yes ?     Ruffneck , oak,ash, cottenwood, box-elder, and any thing else I find. Keith

There are no problems; only solutions we haven't found yet.

Welcome and congrats on your mill, I sure enjoy my 06 B20 lots of info here and dont be afraid to put it to the test its a tough mill once  you get everything dialed in level and plumb it will gain your confidence. Good luck and Mike at TK tech support is your guru.

sounds like a kid before Christmas to me, happy for you 8) be patient, it will work,  david
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

I've talked TimberKing and found that this mill was built in Nov. of 1999.Just about ready to run something through it to shake all rust off, then check the settings.Then we can sent our part order to TK. Should I order the complete lube setup or does anybody have other suggestions?Only piece left is the elbow and pipe.

Most of what you need is available at hardware store. Your cold weather will be a factor on heavy duty plastic jug. I haul mine in shop when below freezing.

  the adjustable nozzle is handy I been looking for new one, mine is all taped up from blade breakage wounds over the years.

 Redbeard,
I couldn't tell if you were talking about the lube or fuel jug but I just recieved a replacement nozzle for my 1220 lube jug which looks to be the same as on other TK mills.

And the whole jug or "carboy"

Now this is why I like comming here.
People finding usefull products all of us can use.
I was planning on putting on a water lube setup on my slabber to help cool it.
Couldnt find a slow flow on off nozzle before.

Thank You Sponsors!
