Really, ok I'll have to check that out. I spoke to a guy I kinda work with that used to be in that business, stone, brick, pavers etc & I asked him. I said hey if I get some brake clean & spray them down will it come clean. Fricken guy said nope, nothing you can do, they are lost. So thanks...

Got hooked up with a guy that bought himself a wood miser saw mill. He saves the butt ends of the hardwood he cuts. Mostly oak. In this pic I've already hauled a load out of there, but the big piece next to pallet is huge, barely roll it. It measured like 33 inches tall. But I think I ruined...

Was at my father in laws scrounging some wood & he offered me a couple of McCulloch's, 1 of which is a worm gear, or worm drive. The other is newer, more plastic & yellow if anyone is interested in seeing them I have to go back tomorrow & get the rest of the wood. I could take some pics if any...

Not the greatest Ash, but the crews cleaning up around some power lines took down a big leader of the tree. At my father in laws place & he is 80 with a bad ticker so me & the wife went up & visited. He offered me a couple of old McCulloch's, one of them was blue & he said it was worm drive. The...

OP, did you use any type of adhesive to lay that strip of gasket material in the little trough or just lay it in there. TIA Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Yes I did, oil dribbled all over the place so I'm hoping this'll work for me Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Well thanks for this guys. I have a 550xp, almost 4 years old now & didn't have a problem. Until today I started cutting a good size ash into 16" for firewood & after 3 rounds I cut I noticed the chain smoking. Could clearly see there was no oil. So I tore it apart, cleaned, cleaned bar grove...

Saw is not leaking anymore. I know I didn't spill any cause I put gas in it on my work bench. Anyway I'm thinking the gaskets in carb shrunk & luckily adding fuel swelled them again. I don't know man, lol. Was leaking & now its not. Ran 3 tanks through this afternoon. Filter came today & fuel...

It was the bar. I thought the bar that was on it was an 18". In my other post I said I stopped & got a 20", kid said no bigger then a 20". So this morning I go to put new bar on & it is the same length. Bar on saw is a 20. So, the new bar would not fit on. The adjuster holes just wouldn't let it...

Nice find thank you. That's weird though, I went back to the mill where I get those oak butts. Chain relatively new & cut was crooked as a banana. And it seamed like every now & then nothing was cutting like the saw was just burning the wood. Then I'd kinda manhandle saw & it would start...

Thanks for the advice. I'll defiantly let you know, I did go ahead & order a fuel line & filter. And if it needs a carb gasket kit I'll do that. Whatever it takes, I need the saw. I paid $100 for the saw probably close to 15 years ago. It just keeps running. I have a 550 XP for normal everyday...

Yes the guy that has the mill warned me, good thing to, I didn't know. I usually get all my wood from my father in laws place, like 11 acres. So trees are pure. But yeah thanks Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Scored a good find, a local guy with a portable sawmill. Basically getting big butt ends, slabs, etc. But I ain't picky. Question whilst I'm here, I have an old 266 XP, the thing will rip your arm off lol, anyway, last year before winter for the 1st time I actually emptied completely the gas...

I say probably cause I'm no expert. I burn firewood, that's it. I know just a handful by sight. When I zoomed in to pic, it looks like maple to me. Every time I guess on the wood the father in law corrects me. He's the expert but not so good at teaching. Unfortunately if you don't know something...

Not sure what exactly it is yet as my wife sent me the pics at her parents house. But I will go tomorrow after work & cut it up & bring it home. It all burns. Maybe more maple now that I look at it Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I can't find this information. I've downloaded the manual, it basically just mentions to watch for heat on end of motor. And I had no idea about this, so I greatly appreciate your question. There is a phone # for manufacturer & I'll call & see if I can get an answer. I'll be sure to pay...

I spent a ton of time rolling by hand big big pieces closer to the splitter. It's been so wet this year, where I get my wood. Here's a pic showing pieces in far background. But to make life easier I just bought a winch. I hope I picked a good one. But I'll have better pics when I get it pulling...

That is a sugar maple. When it was cut it gushed sap. I'd never really seen anything like it. Allot of sap came out Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Using .325. I'll have to look into those mods. Thanks. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Got kinda a late start this year. I'm behind big time. I stack 4 rows tall & deep & I'm only at 2. 5. Here in New Hampshire the summer was either raining or ridiculously ludacrisly hot (muggy). But I'll get her done. I use a 550XP & husqvarna site says 20" bar max. I went to shop where I bought...
