On the 10 10's vibrating or others for that matter, did they ever "balance" them?

I can't really say .Nor could I ever figure why some rattled and some did not .

Now I did throw away a flywheel after it broke 3 or 4 crankshafts on a 70 cc 6-10 .Damn I had just about ran out of right hand start crankshafts before that dawned on me .--slow learner --.

Now on that if I ever break another crank I'll mount the whole mess inside of either a 10-10 or 700 shrouding and be done with that right hand start business once and for all .Those people that came up with right hand start must have had their heads in their behinds ,geeze .

I've tweeked and twiddled with that old Mac so much it's almost a part of me now .I'll not give up on that thing as long as it has one breath of life left in it .

I don't think that guy has ever figured out what makes a tree fall?

I wonder if homeowners insurance would cover you dropping a tree on your own place?

You cannot control the fall by stump jumping them .Some people have the bright idea that a rope will control the fall ,wrong .The fall cut controls the fall .Once you make that back cut and gravity takes over it's too late .

I've seen a big Cat loader bucket pushing high on the trunk of the tree help some?

Well yeah but if you dan't have some kind of a wedge with a hinge it can still go off on it's own to some degree .That guy in that vid just stumped jumped it and it was evident by just casual observation by the side lean exactly where that thing was going to go and it did .
