How'd it go today?

Same pic as earlier but after sundown and a beautiful moon over the Smokies…

I could disappear in the Smokies. I wish it wasn’t such a popular vacation spot. The last two times I visited I was able to wonder off by myself for a few hours for a reset.

I'm looking for a brake handle for my Husky 66 (worlds most reliable chainsaw), and I'm blown away by what people think they are worth. $140 and up is pretty common. I'm trying to get it set up to leave at the sawmill so I'm not hauling my 395XP around all the time, and I can leave the 32" bar on the big saw. I only use it sparingly at the mill due to it's prehistoric suspension.

Partsttee.com has the handle and side cover for 148$ last one in stock possible ever. 30 year old saw give or take.

I've found used for $20-40. That's more my style.

If they're so reliable, you shouldn't ever need one, unless that's the one unreliable part in high demand.

I dropped a tree on it. That saw I've owned since '96. It's spent years in the back of a pickup, neglected, and it still starts and rips. All the Stihl saws I've bought new are in pieces on the bench.

Stihl in the shop, Husqy in the woods.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I should fix them. A 1997, never been filed 020T that needs a carb. 036 Pro needs a carb kit.

 

[Nutball]

The new Stihls need a kickstand. They must have hired Husqy engineers.

 

[davidwyby]

Yes.

Had that tube on one side and a framed and tiled shower enclosure on the opposite side that had been leaking into the floor. Deleting that and putting a combo in where the tub was. Also getting rid of lots of old tile. Half way up the walls, countertop, etc.

I probably have one
