Gotcha. I noticed this guy had a Husky 61 for sale on eBay recently, (not that I need another one :whistle:) but if it was the same family I'd...
Not that I've noticed, and I've used my Vanguard loops a lot the last couple years on my 18" bar set ups. It performs just fine, and I've even...
Yeah I free hand grind them. If I was ever given a large pile of Vanguard chains I'd probably strap them down to some kind of holding fixture and...
Honestly if I were you I'd just run the chains as-is. When it comes to filing the rakers, use a flat file if your jig thing doesn't pan out.
It's about a 10 minute job standing at a bench grinder, or a 1 minute job followed by a flying chain and profanity when you grind the tip of your...
It probably won't :whistle: IIRC files either skip off, or get trashed quickly. On my Vanguard loops I grind the rakers so it's a non-issue. I...
That's the Vanguard I was telling you about. Safety chain. I have a few loops. Works fine but the raker is a PITA to take down.
A+ for ingenuity and a job well done without incident :)
Beautiful haul. Best to get em' before the water gets warm too!
Today’s $30 flea market find. A solid old school bench grinder. I can’t tell the brand but it weighs around 50 pounds. Runs silky smooth and has a...
I managed to get the black oak stacked in the shed this afternoon. I topped it off with some 1 year old red oak scraps but it was pretty close to...
An unexpected scrounge this evening. I came across these precut dead ash rounds stacked at the curb for the taking and couldn’t pass them up....
Nice milestone. Looks like one of the two sassafras trees I planted a couple years ago is a female. This is the first time I’m seeing flowers on...
Perfect size to work with :thumbs:
I managed to split all of the black oak this morning. About 1/3rd of a cord +\- [ATTACH] Also I made stacking all of the white oak a priority....
Noticeable for sure. The throttle response seems a little better now. I’ve still got to tweak the tune slightly once I find a job for the saw....
My factory square ground just came in this afternoon. As expected, the angles aren’t too aggressive, but it should still cut faster and smoother...
I grew up riding dirt bikes so NGK was/is always my go-to plug brand. In recent years I've ordered them online if I couldn't find what I wanted in...
You threw me for a serious loop when talking about valve adjustments while running 2 cycle fuel. I had to Google your model and learned something...
Happy to inspire you to pick up one of your saws again :salute: Yeah, this oak was just a tad too big for the 2150. Not that it couldn’t chew...
