Hi Tom . Thanks for taking time to watch. I wouldn’t have guessed March 31 possible finish date on your house. I really like the Wolfe Ridge 17vs-c. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Thanks for watching Todd. When I first got the 17vs-c , a lot wood had ice on the rounds. I had a few pieces that made it feel not to safe. Once I got beyond the ice,things went well. You know as well as I do, you need to read the wood. It’s to easy to have the knife hit a change in the wood grain and slam that piece to the table. It was really nice to see Evan home to help out a few videos back. I really appreciate your support.

Hey there Larry and Robin, hope things are well with you both. Thanks for watching. I didn’t get a lot of videos out over the summer. Seems like we can’t pick up subscribers. We have 80 some videos out and only 336 subs. I don’t feel our content is that bad. Any suggestions? Thanks for commenting. You two take care.

Hey there Kenny, thanks for supporting small wood. I really like the smaller wood for our stove too. Thanks for your support.

Good morning Noel. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

You are so correct. It feels like we have been on borrowed time for at least 6 weeks. No complaints, but I feel when it comes and weather changes it’s going into below zero weather. Get those outside things in order. Thanks for watching.

Hi Carl. Yes it’s very expensive, but what do you do. Used ones run 35000-65000. New ones are on another level above that. The stove is working well. Processor will be coming out soon. Thanks for watching.

Hi Larry and Robin. I need a skid steer to move heavy items . I can’t tell you how much I depend on that machine. I use it for everything. I at least have been able to still use it, but gently. I go back and forth on this problem. One thing I worry about is did Shiburro change anything on the replacement motor compared to the one that we’re taking out. No one has been able to give me a straight answer on that. I wanted to see if we couldn’t retro fit a Kubota motor as a replacement. There are no kits at this time available. I’ve been looking for a good used one. Well I found what you found. Some pretty beat up equipment. Some aren’t bad but the price pushes to close to new. Thanks for commenting Larry. Appreciate you watching.

Thanks Kenny. I feel that I should replace the motor too. It’s just hard to put 10-12000 in to it and end up with something that’s still worth the same money. I’m thinking I really should look at putting a wood boiler in. My house has propane hot water boiler and my shop has in floor heat with a hot water boiler. I think both me and Chris would miss the wood stove heat. So I burn some propane until I get out there. I’m getting too old to have that kind of duty. Thanks for watching.

Good morning Noel. I noticed in Early August that it was starting harder than usual. It was also smoking when it started but cleared up. I have put 50 hours on it since August. If you remove the fill cap it has blow by coming out . The motor is made by a Japanese company called Shiburo. These motors are used a lot in the early models of small ford tractors. From what I have found they have had a lot of problem with these motors. Funny thing is they aren’t all problems because many have 5-8000 hours with no problems. Of course I had to win the prize of getting one with problems. The motor only has 1250 hrs on it and was made in 2007. We definitely have bad rings on a cylinder. It seems weird when it starts it really rumbles and is definitely running rough on 3 cylinders. As it warms up you hear the 4th cylinder kick in and once that happens it runs some what normally. I first thought we had bad glow plugs on it. The motor burns oil like crazy. Thanks for your interest in the Case, and thanks for watching.

So I don’t know what you’ve tried with it. But it could be cylinder carboned up and stuck rings. I’d put transmission fluid in the fuel and crankcase oil. Transmission oil will clean things up. Just a thought. Can’t make it any worse. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

Thanks so much Jacob. We will get a video out soon on the processor. I try to fix most things like the stove problem. I will leave the diesel engine to a real mechanic. Thanks for watching. Great to hear from you. Later my friend.

Hi Mr. Del. I’ll get the Skid loader problem solved. The skid loader still runs but once started and warmed up it don’t sound to bad. It’s not a long range plan obviously but has helped me continue the addiction. I have put 50 hours on it since August. I don’t put the motor under a heavy load when operating it . Del are you putting your stove in your house or garage? We should have a video out on the processor soon. I love cutting with my saws but being able to run most logs through at 17-18 inch is a huge back saver. The big ones 18 and up I have to cut with the saw. Most trees aren’t that big any more. I’d say 10-15 percent are bigger than 18 inch. Thanks for watching. Take care my friend. Have you recovered to full health? Later bud.

@ Hey Mr Al , I’m putting my stove in my garage . It metal and insulated . It’s a small stove . I’ve never done anything like this before and it makes me nervous . Yes sir , I am back 100% now . Glad the loader still is running and you can use it .

@@inthebackyardwithdel438hey Mr.Del, I have put 3 firewood stoves in and as long as you follow the specs for the stove and your state it’s not bad. I was nervous like you on the first one. As long as you double check everything as you go , it’s not bad. Do a video on it. Later buddy.

Hi There, thanks for stopping by to watch. The elm we split was like 50-60 cut down. Stop by again.

Todd, what a gt

Hey Todd. What a great saying , thank you. Wes is a great neighbor. Thank you for watching.

Wes is a great neighbor, and that’s a neat shirt he has. Thanks for watching.

Hi Kenny, how you doing bud. Thanks for watching. Weather has sure been hard to beat. Take care

@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood warm here too. Some cold coming in next week

Hey Russ. Thanks for stopping in to watch. I thought for elm it split really nice. I’d take a truck load if it split that nice. Thanks for watching.

Hey thanks so much for stopping by to watch. I really appreciate your support.

Mr. Del, glad to hear from you. I love to help people out. I’m going to load up a load for someone that needs some help early next week. Great to hear from you. Sure wish we could sit down and have a beer. Later my friend.

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood me too my friend . Maybe in April if we can make it the HFH

Thanks for watching Carl.

Mr. Del, how are things going. Thanks for tuning in and watching. You have a great weekend also. Are you all healed up yet. Later buddy. Take care of yourself.

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood Hey Mr Al , yes sir . We are good . We have power and water . Thanks for asking my friend .

Hey Brian. I sold 8 full cords. 5 to one party and 2 to another. It’s still tuff to sell at 200 per cord, but at least it’s moving. Save up some money for the boards. Thanks for your support. I really like your kiln experiment. Later my friend.

Hi Logger Jason. I would love to add you to the Blades of Glory. I’d like to send you a sticker from Club Dora too. I will see if I can get your email address and send you my addresss. Thanks buddy.

Hi Noel. Thanks for tuning in to watch. It seems everything is totally out of control as far as prices. You take care.

Hey Todd. Thanks for watching. Delivery season is here, get ready.

Thanks Kenny. I just finished watching you and Winston getting a load of wood. Thanks for watching my friend.

Hi Larry and Robin. Thanks so much for stopping by to watch.

Hi Garry And Tucker. Thanks for watching.

Hi John, thanks for dropping in to watch. We appreciate your support.

Mr Del. I hope you’re getting recovered from your surgery. I certainly missed going to Bunyan, and I’m sure you did too. Thanks for your support. It would be fun to hook up again. Hope you’re doing well too. We are doing well. Just been busy with a remodel job in our porch. Take care buddy.

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood Bey Mr Al , I didn’t make it to Bunyan this year . Hurricane Helene hit here . We just got power back on a couple of days ago . Hope your remodel is coming along good . Take care my friend . 👍🏻🇺🇸

Hi Noel. Thanks for watching. Cutting down trees I enjoy, but get nervous too. I like it when they are down on the ground and everyone is safe. Hope things are well with you. Thanks so much for stopping by.

👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

Hey there Kenny. It feels good burning wood again. Nothing like it. It’s going great . I have had a very busy summer with projects. I would like things to slow down any time. I sit down to watch a video here and there and fall asleep in my chair. I prefer to keep my feet planted on the ground. Hope you’re doing well and will be much better when we have more time to follow one another. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for subscribing Jason. I see your name show up a lot. It been a very busy summer. I’ll get to watching some of your content once things slow down a bit. Look forward to meeting you in person at some event.

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood Are you going to Bunyan? I will be down there the first time this year.

Thanks for stopping by to watch. I hope your project is moving along on schedule. Take care buddy.

Hi Tom. I thought I had answered back to you, but sometimes I do forget to push the arrow to send. Thanks for watching. Hope your build if going on schedule. We won’t make it to Bunyan this year. To many projects going on plus I need to save up for a skid loader or repair of skid loader. Hope all is well with everyone.Later bud.

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood no problem buddy yeah I’m in the same boat. Not sure if I’m gonna make it or not. It’s a lot closer for me so I’m definitely going to try.

Hi Brian. Hope things are going well in Shotliff Land. The motor used in my case is a shibboro. I may be don’t have that spelled correctly,anyway I checked around with my mechanic. He said that motor has been a problem child. They used that same motor in some Ford tractors and checking further there also used in some New Holland skid loaders too. There are some running 5-7k hours and others that just don’t get very far. Thanks for watching.

Hi Jeremiah. Thanks for watching. Are you guys going to Bunyan this year?

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood no we are not

Hi Mr. Del, good to hear from you. We had everything planned to go, but we are working on a big project on our house. We canceled are reservations, but may still show up. Didn’t want to loose our money by waiting to long to cancel. If we don’t make it have a great time. Bunyan is my favorite show. Take care my friend. Thanks for watching.

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood I totally understand . I had to have laser lithotripsy this past Monday . I couldn’t pass the 6mm kidney stone . I go back to the dr on 1oct to get my stent out . Needless to say , I am sitting in a recliner right now resting .

@@inthebackyardwithdel438 hey buddy, I’m sorry to hear that you had to go through all of that. I hear it is unbelievably painful. How long do your doctors think you’ll be layed up. Take it easy Mr. Del. I will say some prayers for you bud.

@@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood Hey Mr Al , It was painful but I’m feeling much better today . I feel good enough to go out to the garage but I’m not going to push it . I appreciate you my friend . I have been meaning to tell you the syrup is OUTSTANDING . I ration it out when we have pancakes .😂👍🏻🇺🇸

Hey Kenny, how have you been. This summer has been so busy. I’m kinda waiting for shorter days so I can catchup on all the videos I don’t have time to watch. I definitely got man glitter in my shirt and in my pockets. I’m betting the operator got a good laugh at my expense. I walked right into it my fault. Nice to hear from you. Hope your summer has gone well for you. Take care

Hi there Larry and Robin. Thanks for watching. I’m trying to find a used trac loader. Your t 650 been a good machine for you guys? Have you had any issues with it. The T 650 is suppose to be the most sought after Bobcat loader. Still can’t believe my case motor went out with only 1200 hours. The motor is made by Shibarro and is known to be a problem engine. Any way your info may be helpful. Thanks for watching.

Hi Noel. So glad you stopped in to watch. The show was not real big but still was a lot of fun. The back pack is so nice to carry water and the camera equipment. It really didn’t bother my back at all but carrying only 5 - 10 pounds. The engine problem is going to be very expensive to fix. The mechanic said to go ahead and run it until it stops running. Replace the motor with a new one. I have put 12 hrs on it and it’s still going. It really didn’t think I should be running it at all, but am thankful I have it for now. Later buddy.
