Chainsaw Pics...

I thought you erased that....

 

These were given to me. The top one fits my Makita, echo. I gave it to my nephew fir his echo. Any idea what the bottom bar fits? I looked up the number but couldn't find what series of saws it might fit. There is a 3/8 lp chain on it but not sure if that is original. It is a Husqvarna chain.

 

Looks like a small mount husqvarna with the oil hole where it is?

 

So what is the other Husqvarna bar mount? The top one. It has smaller holes and no oil hole. All these bar patterns to keep track of. No wonder so many people stick to one brand lol.

 

Some info on bar mounts....

Looks like top is A041 and bottom K095, that's my guess.

 

I think you are correct. That A041 fits the poulan Husqvarna saws I believe. Definitely fits the wild thing type saws as well as the small Dolmar / Makita and small echo.

 

Thanks bud.

 

More oak with the 261 today.

 

Oh yeah...gettin it done in the dark!

Look'n like your dressed for Winter Jeff?

 

Just a light jacket...

 

By golly you’re right. It my son’s. He likes them creamsicles. I just have swede saws.

 

Oh. And I found a 3120 today. Forgot about that one

 

I picked up the powerhead only for $700 a few years back. Makita / Dolmar ps-7901 with a full wrap handle. A professional grade saw that keeps up with similar cc saws from Stihl and Husky at a better price. It will pull a 36" bar with a skip chain but 24"-32" is the sweet spot. Only downsides are that it drinks a lot of gas and gets heavy with the 32" bar.



My all time favorite saw is the Dolmar ps-6100 (or Makita version) with a .325 setup, 8 tooth sprocket, and 18" bar. The smaller teeth on the .325 chain prevents any real loss of torque from the larger sprocket. This saw has the best throttle response of any saw I have run. This is how it looked brand new.



And after a few hundred hours, with a 16" bar, sitting on top of some prime firewood. See if you can ID the wood. It's not pear or apple, but in the same family.

 

Is it dogwood?

 

No, but I can see why you might think so. It's some sort of slow growing, medium size Hawthorn planted as a hedgerow 100+ years ago behind my house. You can't tell in the photos but it's got some nasty thorns on it. Probably a variety brought over from Europe that is not native here. It's top notch firewood -- similar to pear / apple / mulberry -- but they don't get very big and I only cut them if they are damaged or dying.

 

It is more easily recognized as Hawthorn when young, but the bark changes on the older trees. In this photo you can see a young tree on the left, and an older one behind it. Same tree best I can tell, but the bark is very different. (They are possibly different types of Hawthorn, I can't be certain.)



Another photo -- this from an old tree that was only about 12" dbh. Looks just like pear to me, but it's not.
