Chainsaw Pics...

UPS guy dumped this stuff at my house yesterday....

 

Nice, that's a nice 55. What size bar are you gonna run on it? We have one with 20"bar, .325/.058 chain

 

Well, I tried an 18" on it but I don't like it that way.
I'll probably go with a 20" .325.... but I also have a couple 22" 3/8" so I might use one of those instead.

I prefer .325 on most of my 50cc saws.

How does your 55 do with the 20 inch bar?

 

It does fine limbing and in wood up to about 14-15". Full bar is kinda slow. Plenty of torque though.

 

I found a 20" .325 in the shed, so got to try it out last night....it seemed pretty good to me, the biggest piece I cut was about 14" but it sawed it right off.

Actually it's a pretty good saw for a "non-pro" model.

 

Picking up some free hickory…

 

Got em both up and ready to manufacture sawdust.....

 

Cutting some hickory with my xs362c.

 

I think it must be a farm/ranch saw. Ours needs a little going over, has cranking issues sometimes

 

Nice load, looks like it split easily...

 

395 splitters work real good…

 

Yep, I've had some knotty hickory that needed a 461 or 362 splitter as well.

 

Not exactly a saw picture, but a saw chain post...
We have a couple square ground chains left. I've learned to a decent job filing them, I think.
It was time to clean out the gullets
So figured out the angles and stops, used the small radius wheel
I think it did a good job on the gullets.
Got it back on the saw without too much damage to myself...
It's sharp, bumped a tooth on the end of the bar with my finger...
Slice and dice...

 

My suspicion on the bar holes was confirmed. Oil was puking out on the bar near the mount instead of all going into the rail. So I broke out the JB.



That should do the trick.

 

Tackled a couple nice hickory logs this morning.
XS362 got'ter done

 

Picked up a real nice 246 off eBay the other day, the brown truck dropped it off today...

 

Some nice saws you've got there.
