It's seldom any more I even buy a saw but every so often something catches my eye .It happened on another forum ,two 49 cc Partners ,a 500 and a 5000 plus . Cheap ! I ran one of these at the saw races long ago at Chardon Ohio and although I didn't win the class became very impressed .It has been...

Danged thing up and died on me all 100 foot of it .I think it was some kind of a parasite about like the EAB .100 foot and about 5 feet over the stump .I got Tom and crew out here and I ran my 70 year old Oliver bull dozer about 200 feet away with a 1" three strand nylon line . Three strand has...

They are basically the same saw circa late 70'early 80's .I recently resurrected two of them .They are rare in these parts and it took me two years to round up all the parts but only about a week to reassemble them . As far as power and design these from my perspective are one of the most robust...

In the process of laying down about 12-15 tons of crushed stone for a pad for a 40 foot shipping container two trees had to come out .The stumps had to cut cut off below grade .I really dislike doing that but it had to be done . I used an 024 Stihl for two reasons .One it's the only saw I have...

I had mentioned this on another thread .Big storm front pushing ahead of it either wind shear or gust-nado conditions that can often reach 110 miles per hour .Snapped the top out of this thing like it was a tooth pick .It was around 100 foot with about 40 left standing . I might have to do some...

I just got word yesterday a guy i used to work around was involved in a fatal accident while dropping a tree .Details are a tad vague From what I gather he had a leaner and took a strain on it with a big tractor,over tensioned it ,it barber chaired and got him .Be careful out there .This guy...

Todays victim 100 foot dead shag bark .Of course I hung the pot licker on the fall which is nothing new to me .I have a hard time finding a hole to put them down in but I've became an expert in unhanging them . Maybe a cord and 500 bd foot of saw log but with the flaws I'll call it half that...

I didn't even know this thing got wind blown until yesterday .I got no idea when it happened except it's got a top full of died on the vine leaves .So it must have been in summer . I just couldn't leave that widow maker .My Lawd if that thing got one of my grand kids I could never forgive...

I've been fiddling with this thing for about a week . It started out as windfall about 5-7 years ago .Had a guy bandsaw it and stored it stickered to air dry in my shop .Turned out okay as far as the lumber . Mrs Smith being Mrs Smith wanted something with a little bling to it so here it is...

This is just one of several the wind destroyed .It really wasn't a big deal although I was at it about all day .Broke off about 25 foot up . You gotta kind of cut your way into a mess like that .Geeze I have a brush pile the size of a single car garage from this bushy SOB . Fence posted it...

Seals in general really .Husqvarna for one uses square shouldered bearing and seal surfaces on the crankshaft .In a situation like that it would very easy to missinstall a seal causing a failure as some have found out unfortunately . A very simple method is to use the thin plastic from a tube...

Windsor I think made the original replacable bar tip and I believe it's this three rivet model .They made bars for just about every make of saw at one time and especially McCulloch . This 32" bar was given to me and was odd indeed as it is a 50 thou groove bar but had a .404 nose on it ,10...

Actually it's Toms 020T which has a 200T case .The thing was leaning out so I changed the bearings seal crank shaft from the original cases . What I found out was the crank had excessive play both lateraly plus up and down on the clutch side .I checked 4 cases .My stock and souped 200 .The...

Maybe just new to me but I discoveed a revealation in the form of a large jug of Era laundry detergent .The jug has little valve in the end and works slick as snot on a door knob for oil .No muss no fuss.Hit the valve put in the oil and let it go .Free to but the detergent is costly but you get...

In light of the fact this is traditional veterans day one story of a Viet Nam vet my age . Nate was a door gunner on a little "loach " chopper which ran in conjuction with a Huey gun ship .After his tour he somehow ended up being an electrician and later retired .Fact I worked with him over 20...

I should have dropped this thing five years ago instead of waiting so long .No big deal I guess it went well . It was around 100 feet before some of the top rotted and got blown out .Exactly 3 feet on the stump .

We got em,big ones .About an inch long and kind of yellow . The only time I ever see them is after after I've dropped a tree or am cutting up relatively fresh cut firewood .So I did some research and found out some things . Unlike those little bastages that sting the dickens out of you ,these...

My sister in law has some kind of an idea I know every living plant but the truth of the matter is I don't . This thing is about 6 feet tall and appears from the leaves to be related to an apple ,haw or something .I can't ID it so I said it turn it over to a group that most likely can ,thanks .

EAB got this thing .My wifes youngest son planted this thing as a school project .Alas it fell to that damned green bug so it had to go . It was a double so one side I had to dissasemble prior to flopping that half .The other I had just enough room to hit a 15 foot gate opening so I played...

A little thing I discovered through an error I commited .I always thought the usage of particle board was just a cheap way to make counter tops which were covered in laminite like Formica . It turns out the rate of expansion and contraction of partical board is exactly the same as Formica...
