That's what happened to mine. I was running a 36 on it . The main case around the front bar stud broke up.
And 026/260 will pull 19" of wood with. 7 tooth rim 3/8 pitch 50 ga. Semi skip chisel ground chisel just fine. I've only run around 250- 300 gals of saw gas thru them. But that's enough to know what they will do. May not be my single favorite saw. But they are a very good saw.
I thot you were going to bed. How you doing Tom ? Anyone else still awake. I looked over Northern Sled Works site . some nice looking sleds. If I put tracks on my 4 wheeler, I might have to get one of his sleds. For sure I want to get some material from him for making the runners for my woods trailer. I've got to do some fabricating , building the frames so I can bolt the material to them . My goal is to take the wheels off in the winter and bolt the runners on. Then swap in the summer.
It was 20 below when I got home from work. Picked up a 150 watt oil pan pad at NAPA after work. Got under the van , cleaned off the bottom of the oil pan but couldn't figure out the best place to route the cord. And they get so brittle in the cold. I didn't want to break it. So I put a new plug on the existing block heater cord. Plugged it into a 15' cord. Dallied it around the bumper and tie wrapped it all in place. Hope I wired it right. Will tackle the oil pan heater tomorrow after work in our truck shop.
