    DANG !!
    That PS cleaned up nice !
    Thats a real tall side plate, what file did you use ?
    You stopping there, or going for a "lighter" contender ?

    Does anyone know the appropriate code for the stock Stihl Square ground chains? I ordered twice from a local dealer and both times they have sent me the round ground rsk. i want one or two stock chains so i can have a guide for a lack of better words. Thanks

    Just call Madsens and get 2 loops for the price of one in CL. Easier to sharpen as well.

    And for oversized sprockets, I just ordered a few from Danzco. What a good experience with those folks.

    Nice semi skip! Is that the Klassic chassis? Those cutters look long like the Klassic.
