    Got the same problem on a Toro LX460. It has a Kohler courage 20 HP. I've put red heat n oil RTV on it no luck. Put new gasket with black RTV. Still leaks. They make a repair kit for these engines. Comes with a new valve cover, gasket, and an extra piece of metal that goes around the bottom half of valve cover to hopefully fix the leak. Gonna try that next. Great video. Hope your repair works.

    Wow, 25 trees to make 60 face cord, you have big trees there! I am on the opposite! 60 trees for 25 face cords! Lol! I did not like much collecting the small diameter for cordwood, until I got a boiler. I collect them in lengths of 4 ft, which are easy to transport out of the wood and to cord in my wood shed. So I handle them once before they are burnt in the wood boiler. A lot of time saving. Then the small wood is worth more than the bigger stuff I need to buck & split and then handle 2-3 times. Thanks!

    • @Lifeinthe906
      @Lifeinthe906 Месяц назад

      The smaller stuff really makes sense for the boilers. Easy to handle and easy to process. I'm working on a boiler for heating my shop. Thanks for your input.

    I usually cut it into 6-12 ft lengths and carry out to the trailer. I cut it up on a saw buck at home on days it’s too muddy or hot to be in the woods. It keeps the saw out of the dirt and keeps my back straight from less bending over to pick up all of the pieces and less trips back and forth to the trailer.
