We bought our first house almost 1 year ago and one of the first things we said when we viewed the house before we bought it was that we suspected...
Saw two black rat snakes (I believe that's what they are) mating near some logs in my backyard one day last week. They eventually came out from...
Nice, thanks for the info. Perhaps a dumb question here (I am still a newbie here) - but how do you cut something up to 30" diameter with a 20"...
Gotcha - yeah the more I read I feel like it probably makes sense to just wait and get something with better power to weight ratio. I am not a...
I saw a Stihl 041 for sale locally "for parts or repair" for a listed price of $125. The description goes on to say "did have it running a few...
Lol - my wife literally called out the window to me the other day after work "true life, my husband is addicted to splitting firewood" Already...
Good call - I actually replaced the clutch recently and the sprocket appeared to look OK - I will definitely take a closer look before putting the...
Yeah I believe it is low kickback version from what I've read. As mentioned above, since I am just starting out, not sure I will gain much from...
Well I ended up ordering a 3003 008 6813 bar and 3689 005 0067 chain. If I end up hating it I'll eventually try to find a narrow kerf bar and...
I am still just starting out in this whole chainsaw/firewood hobby, so I don't have much of a preference. As long as my new parts are compatible...
After further reading online I believe the .063 you are referring to is actually corresponding to the chain gauge which should be .063 or 1.6 mm...
What does the .63 refer to? I know I need a 16" length with a .325 pitch and 67 drive links to match my current bar/chain combination.
Looking to pick up a new 16" bar for my Stihl 026 and I noticed the part number on the bar itself is noted as 3003 000 6813, however, when I use...
Finally got this new clutch and needle bearing in, greased the bearing with some high temperature red wheel bearing grease, and seems to fire up...
Thanks for the info. I had planned to replace the clutch as well because I was worried about remnants of the needle bearing floating around in it...
Gotcha, good to know. Thank you.
Thanks for the info! Is there a standard grease to use? I am an engineer in my day-to-day work so normally I am specific about which types of...
Continuing to battle with my Stihl 026 to get it running correctly. I replaced the carburetor after a number of issues a while back, replaced fuel...
Thanks for the responses. My saw may need some idle/carb adjustment to make sure the chain isn't trying to move at idle. Makes sense that if the...
General chainsaw use question - is it advised to leave the chain brake engaged and leave the saw running at idle on the ground for 30 seconds - 1...
