I have nothing to add in reference to your choice of saw, but commend you on approaching the upcoming lot-clearing with safety in mind, and an awareness of your skill level. :clap: If you do purchase from a dealer, don't be shy about letting them step you through the process of fueling...

Happy Birthday Mid-KS Buddy!!! The limiter cap removal tool is Stihl #5910 890 4500A, its a screwdriverish gizzy, about 5.5" long. The tip is left threaded fine pitch .100"ish D, .625"ish L, then necks up to .200 for a couple in. and into the driver handle. I've heard of folks getting away...

I am pretty in love with my muffler-modded 346XPNE. Enough to want another one to put up. With a fresh loop of 23RSC66, it is an angry little saw. I think maybe angry enough to be a "one saw plan" saw? :msp_scared:

Congrats to the winners and thanks to all who donated. :msp_thumbup: Scooterbum is a good guy... y'all drew a good ticket there.

I'm glad I spotted this, and for a good cause! I need another angry 460 for me birthday :jester: Thanks!

Well that's not exactly horrible news... the 372XP has been on the choppin block since I found AS.com :jester: So by that math, y'all have until 2016 to hoard em up. Anyway I used my 346XP NE a bit over the weekend, and it is a fun saw. Louder than the cries of Hell though. Fun enough to...

Glad to see ole Tom is still here. I haven't been around much, but still think about y'all! Has that 880 tore the shelf off the bedroom wall yet? I always brag on my 361 muff-mod as my "Lakeside Andy Port." I hope he's doing well and making that old milling machine sing.

MS 460 calls XJWoody a Big Dummy A tale of no good deed going unpunished: Bro-in-law calls @ 0800 this morning with woe-ish lament of a sick 029 Super. I suspect saw abuse, but I'm the medic & not a social worker or here to judge anyone, so I counsel let me pull compression then maybe muffler...

Ha! Cool job Brad. I was rooting through a closet a few weeks ago and uncovered a NIB MS260 Pro from a year ago, and a NOS (new on shelf) MS 440 from back in '07(?) when they quit making them. I 'should have' got a NIB 361, but that didn't happen in time. I need a 660 to top that off... I...

NOS saws I'm with Brian, worth more to a collector than a user. They are not far enough gone away for a "NIB" saw to be worth much more than it's OTD price. I'm saving mine back for the zombies. Or my granddaughters But if the 440 had to go, certainly not for one penny less than the $800ish...

029 Master Control Lever™ The "029 Family" (I'd include the current 290-310-390 unless something has changed) has the most fiddly :censored: POS kill-switch choke apparatus I've ever seen. Whoever engineered that aspect needs to be sent to the eastern front. If I had to rely on this as my...

What? No ElastoStart™ drop starter on the baby Stihl? :confused: J/K, have fun with the new baby saw :cheers:

can 'o worms indeed... One saw: 357XP/359 or MS 361/362 Two saws: 346XP and 372XP or MS261(?) and MS441 Budget? :ices_rofl: That's a good one!

One year later follow up... After several years of messing with saws & cleaning up our little patch of woods, I finally put in a wood insert... a Buck Stove model #81. We installed it yesterday afternoon, and got it hot for the first time last night - just in time for the impending snow/ice...

I like the 401 pretty well - it's peppy & nimble) but would love to try a 211. What does that 211 (14 or 16") weigh fueled & ready to cut?

"If you pay for a 50-100 hour saw, you will get a 50-100 hour saw" Mostly a true statement, with some outliers. One might score the unusual 600+ hour machine, or one that goes Tango Uniform before the first tank runs through. Look at the math though (with some rounding/wild...

Yes, it's an OEM part (kit) #1135-007-1007 IIRC about $150 and included-> 3/4 wrap bar & different springs, Lower sprocket cover & longer chip flap, Chain Catcher (inner-outer spikes & roller catcher) If one only cut/fell ALAP on moderate slopes, a half wrap is all ya need... I've been in a...

I ordered a 6" wood insert install/reline kit from here:http://www.chimneylinerdepot.com/index.asp on Thursday, and will report back once it arrives & we get to mess with it. If the appliance to chimney arrangement isn't too complex, I can't imagine it being too difficult. The above advice on...

I agree with the Jeeper twins... Take that chinese handcuff thought a step further... Assume that the log will not be split at the same grain line, and also assume that the two wedges (or a single wedge + plate like "normal") can not fully meet - or overtravel. I think what would result is...

I paid $449.95 (+$34.87 tax) for an e-tech model on Thursday. It was marked as $499.95, but I also bought a pricey wood stove at the same time... I like the new/improved choke/kill switch & one-piece top cover. I think I'll hate messing with the outboard clutch (been awhile since I played...
