About 18 months ago, I wrecked my 462 and I have been waiting for a split case and lower tank body all of this time. I left it with one Stihl...
So far, the shortest bar I own is 20" long. My longest one is 32" I think my favorite is a 24" bar on my 362, but I have a 32" on my 461. I kind...
You need to lower the brackets where the lift arms attach by quite a bit. The top link could be made longer and that would level it out some....
Yep, I did that to my 362 and it made all of the difference. Just wondering if it would be needed, with the 25" as it's pretty much my favorite...
I had a question for you guys with the 400's. How well does the stock oiler work? Will this saw keep a 25" bar lubed, or is a 20 bar about it?
Yep, I tried that first, still wasn't enough oil, so I bought one for a bigger saw from one of the guys on here, and changed it out last year, and...
That's interesting. Did you ever notice also, that sometimes, a mostly wore out chain, but sharpened good, will be faster cutting then a new or...
Yep, you may have a point. And I also cut a lot of dirty wood. Talking about bar grooves, I had to replace the chain on 362 today, and while...
No, it's still in the shop, waiting on a new split half case. The shop keeps telling me, that they are starting to see orders come in, and hope it...
Thanks for the info, fellows. I think the possibly the main problem I was having was that I was not cleaning the air filters nearly as often as...
, I use a big Elm round on the porch for a splitting stump, to make kindling and reduce splits down farther to fit in the stove as needed. It's...
Thanks, for the link. So, it looks like maybe 40 degrees is the line. I assumed that was about right, but I figured it might be more like 32...
Back several weeks ago, I was sawing and having trouble with several of my saws. They were not running very good and became impossible to start...
Well, turns out that the half case on ebay is not the right one. Apparently, I have a slightly older saw then the latest model, and there are...
I going to go talk to my dealer, and if he can't give me a better idea of when I will see the new half case, I think I might just get one off of ebay.
Yep, I was wondering about ebay. What are those people doing, buying saws and parting them out?
I have burnt a little Hackberry, the last couple of mornings to knock the chill off. Here in Arkansas, it's been raining and feels cold, and the...
Last year, I got my bar pinched on my CM462, just as the tree rolled on me, and I ended up busting out the bolts in the case. Heli-coils would not...
This is what I did for many years. My nephews would cut me a few ricks of standing dead Red Oak every late summer or early fall. I would stack it...
You did a great job on that ax. It looks great! You might want to learn how to wrap paracord around it. It's the best thing I have found.
