    Farmertec/off brands?

    I just bought a 070 kit basically for a learning experience. I have never built a lower unit..... only rebuilt top ends. My question is ... what is the oil mix for a farmtec 070? I can’t find that answer anywhere.

    Shindaiwa 488 fuel line change...

    Just saw this. I did mine last week. Definitely the trick on that saw is to pull the barb up from the tank. Don’t be tempted to try to push it top to bottom with a screw driver or you will very likely puncture it.

    FarmerTec Huztl MS180/250 Complete Chainsaw Kit

    Mostly a part time lurker and a weekend warrior. I live on the gulf coast and only start thinking about saws when the weather starts turning cool. I tried to search before I asked.

    FarmerTec Huztl MS660 Updated Build Kit - Build Thread

    It’s not the end of the world if you have to replace top end in 3-4 years of hard use. I’d run it like I stole it. Maybe even have a top end on the shelf for the price you can buy one from them.

    Who uses thread locker and on what parts?

    I use it by the large bottle on all tractor parts so I always have plenty . Nothing knocks bolts and buts lose worse then a tractor. I use it on those stupid husky bolts that always want to back out.

    Is all 2 cycle mixing oil created equal

    Since I switched to husqvarna full synthetic ( after buying a new 372), I have yet to gum up a carburetor on any of my two cycle equipment . That’s been about 5 years. My big saws sit months between uses sometime. In the past, I’d get two years without Carb issues. I have spare carbs...

    Huztl 660 build

    Wow. That was much cheaper then it is now. I have a 32 inch steel bar. Cut big stuff only after a hurricane so this would be perfect for a large saw to have on reserve.

    Shindaiwa Chain Saws

    I have an old shindaiwa 488. One of the toughest and most dependable saws I've ever seen.

    Huztl 660 build

    I just asked this on another thread about this saw. What do you use as instructions or do you just look at another saw? I think I'd be a little overwhelmed looking at the parts without any instructions and pics. I've never done a low end.

    FarmerTec Huztl MS180/250 Complete Chainsaw Kit

    I really want to go to the other end and build the 660. Is there any instructions available to show you how to assemble it. I've done some porting and rebuilding but not from scratch

    Stihl 064 Gas Leak

    I had a saw that had a crack in the back side of the fuel tank and leaked when it wasn't being used. The fuel ran down the saw and looked like it was coming from somewhere else.

    I was doing so well......

    There are a lot of shindawa 488 lovers out there. I'm one. A ported 488 will scream. I still run mine. I bought it after hurricane Katrina. It was the only mid size quality saw anyone had in stock on the coast.

    Recommend me a new bench vise

    I have two harbor freight vices. I don't mind harbor freight metal if you are willing to strip the paint and paint them with a high quality paint as soon as you remove it from the box. I did the same for my press. Metal is metal. It's the harbor freight paint jobs that are absolutely...

    Square ground chain

    Are the cheap harbor freight models any good on a square chain. Any decent grinders south of $500 for a weekend warrior who likes square chains?

    husqvarna 372xp why did I take the throttle trigger apart

    A 372 xp trigger is the only thing that caused me to take a saw to the shop in 20 years and I have rebuilt all types of saws. That's the truth. Mine came apart when I was putting in a carb kit. I had never worked on a husky and must have went about it the wrong way. I gave up. Every...

    What is the dumbest thing you have done with a chain saw?

    Mine is close. I didn't realize my 372 wouldn't crank with relief valve on when it's cold. Threw my shoulder out of joint trying to crank it. It cranks on two easy pulls if I don't touch that stupid relief valve.

    MS180C refusing to be dismantled - nightmare!

    Buy a replacement engine off eBay for 40 bucks and run it like you stole it.

    Which is the best pro saw of each brand?

    I love my 372XP. It's the best saw I've ever run.

    MS361 - Can barely pull w/plug - possibilities???

    My generator did same thing after sitting up. The cylinder was completely flooded. Blow Into cylinder lightly and steady with an air compressor.
