Looking for a saw for a young man to learn with. Only needs to be lightweight and reasonably priced since there are several mid sized saws around...
Thanks for all replies. I've still got several new chains for the saw. I shiuld wait until they're used up before doing anything else.
Has anyone run this? I have an MS 250 Stihl with a .325 pitch and .063 kerf bar. 18 inch bar. Would switching to narrow kerf chain and bar make...
We used an 026 and a 359 Husqvarna until an accident and some abuse prematurely ended the 359. It was an older version of the 555.It was a good...
Don't know about the newer ones but my son got ten years out of a John Deere LA 105 from Lowe's. Parts available through John Deere dealers. If...
Has anyone else tried taking a raker file to cut the shiny part of rocked teeth back then sharpened as usual. I tried this method on my last...
Here you can get about three Oregon chains for the price of two Stihl. The Oregon has a rep of being easier to sharpen but not hold it's edge as...
I usually tap the filter to remove dust and dirt but can they also be soaked in soapy water then air dried to clean better ?
I mostly cut my own firewood and do other chores around the farm that require a chainsaw. The majority of my firewood comes from dead and down...
I like the looks of the Jersey pattern. My paternal ancestors were in Bucks County,Pa for a while and it may have been the pattern they brought...
Which pattern do you prefer, if you have a preference. I like the looks of the Jersey pattern with the "ears" but does that really make a difference?
68 for the 250 74 for an 026 Both 18" bars I think an 026 with 16" bar calls for a 67 link.
I've got an 026 I'm going to rebuild which could use up the chain if I get an 18" bar for it.Might be link or so off but plenty of adjustment on...
I'm sure it would if I used full size 3/8 pitch.My son switched his 290 from .325 to 3/8 ut didn't keep it there long. I was referring to the 3/8...
I read somewhere an opinion that the switch would wake up an 250. Has anyone tried it? Been thinking of trying it but am stocked up,well...
Sounds like you may have my same build. My back isn't real bad.It does go out about once a year and,at other times gets stiff. I've been looking...
:faint: That's a bunch. With the axes,mauls,saws,fuel and bar oil loaded,I might be able to squeeze 1 to 2 days worth of firewood on the truck:D
Looking and thinking again I'm fairly certain I've used one that my son has. I seem to remember it as working well. He has one I've usually...
Been thinking of getting a hookaroon to sit locks on end for splitting,pulling out of brush and off the pickup plus possibly helping load.Most of...
Are you happy with it? Does it split like you like? Did you like the price? If yes to all the above,it's not necessary to look further. Others...
