    My beginner's climbing stuffs...

    A couple of guys expressed interest in what I chose for a beginner climbing setup, so I thought I'd post it up publicly. I've been blessed with great input from a professional climber throughout my shopping process. I chose to stick to the basics and use a DRT/DdRT setup for now. I picked up a...

    Want to Buy Climbing Gear

    Hey guys! I've found a mentor and would like to start climbing a bit. I'm not ready to break the bank on premium brand new equipment just yet. I'm hoping maybe some deals are out there to be had. I'm looking for gaffs, saddle/belt, ropes, helmet, the whole shebang...on a budget at first...

    Sold MS361

    I love this saw, but now that I own a MOFO 026, it doesn't really serve a purpose in my arsenal. I've owned it since June 5 of this year, and have probably used it more than any of my other saws. It's a fantastic runner. Cylinder and piston are gorgeous. The only issue that I've ever had with...

    Just wanted to show off my Doc Al 046

    I could write a book on this project, but I'll try to keep it shortish. Basically, once upon a time I sent my 046 to JMS for a[promised] work over. The short version of that chapter is that he dicked me over hardcore, like he did many others. Most of the work promised wasn't done, and what...

    The kindest words I can muster for JMS...

    I'll post this over here too, in case the right person(s) haven't seen it yet, and so future customers might. If enough ruckus is stirred, I'll be glad to do as I have elsewhere, and post messages/pictures. I'll also be adjusting my other thread where I gave premature and undo props...

    Looking to piece together a pole pruner...

    As the title states, I'm looking to "build" an economical, reliable and strong pole pruner. I don't need 15' reach, and I don't want to spend $300. As I understand it, most(all?) Stihl straight shaft string trimmers can accept the gear head for their pole pruner attachment, as well as many...

    Want to Buy WTB: 046 3/4 wrap

    As the title states, I'm looking for a 3/4 wrap handle for my favorite child, er, chainsaw. I'm trying to put some finishing touches on her without resorting to an aftermarket parts. Thanks!

    My 9000 MPH HusqPoulanEater leaf blower!!! Of doom!!!

    Ok, so it isn't a chainsaw... ...and it isn't really good for 9000 MPH... ...but you came to see it! I DID pick up this pile as part of a deal which netted me my 026 though, so it's chainsaw related. ;) When I got it home the fuel lines were melty goo, and the muffler was completely clogged...

    About that name...

    So here's a fun idea for a thread. I want to know how you came up with that screen name/handle. I'll begin! In 2003, I purchased a brand new car. It was an SVT Focus, and it was a limited production car(less than 14k over three years of production). There were tons of parts on them, unique...

    A HUGE 'Thank you!' to Jason Stratton, or "How my 046 became amaze-balls!"

    So many of you will remember the 046 I picked up in a package deal. It was missing parts and had some damage, but I had big plans for it. I had my sights on a ported 75cc powerhouse! I solicited the opinion of the hive here, and received a few quotes for the rebuild and port job. Jason...

    CSD, the advanced form of CAD.

    Chainsaw Separation Disorder(CSD) affects many individuals already suffering from Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder (CAD). Signs that you may be affected include: *Severe anxiety resulting from the shipment of your 'saw to another individual. *Feelings of guilt resulting from using other 'saw(s)...

    I did a thing(come look!!!)...

    So I was at the hardware store and came across this DeWalt tools sheath dealy for $9.99. It looked handy, so I made it really handy. A small piece of 1/2" clear CPVC(just use PVC. No one else on Earth has this crap in their garage), and some really quick Paracord lashing(not among my greatest...

    Want to Buy MS250 and MS251 parts.

    I'm looking for several items for the saws in the title. Gently used is preferred, as I'm not trying to sink too much into them. Without further Ado: MS250: Muffler Muffler bolts and nuts Clutch cover Possibly brake band and associated bits...make that 2.(NEW) Top cover. One is broken where...

    I'm looking for a competent builder, and for your thoughts!

    Help me spend some bonus money! You've probably seen my recent threads. The Clif notes, in case you haven't: I'm newer to chainsaw ownership. I've snagged a lot of great bargains on Stihl saws. The highlights: 026, 361, 046. The 046 needs the cylinder cleaned up and a new piston, then a...

    046 Piston/Cylinder damage

    So I figured out why the 046 Magnum was sold in the package as a parts saw. I'd like opinions on if the cylinder can be salvaged. The exhaust side was toasted.

    Want to Buy 046 Magnum Recoil Start Assembly

    As the title suggests, I am in need of a recoil start assembly for my 1128 family saw. I'm trying to avoid buying the $18 w/ free shipping part from China. A used, working part would be great if it keeps the saw OEM. Thanks in advance. Greg

    Stihl Serial Number lookup?

    I hate to ask, but am itching for some information on this one. Would anyone do me this huge favor?

    A few weeks ago...

    ... I didn't own a chainsaw. I had, however, rehung over a dozen axes for the kids and I to enjoy in the woods. Then... Eesh.

    Stihl 011 AVT Ignition

    So I'm picking up a very nice Stihl 011 AVT with electronic ignition tomorrow, for the price of $60, including the original manual and hard case. I know going into the purchase that the spark plug boot is fubar and will need replacing. What is required parts-wise to successfully repair this...

    Want to Buy 026 Air Filter and other small parts...

    My $25 026 is getting a bit of work done before I go crazy and pay someone to port her or similar. I watched a YouTube video where someone swapped in an air filter from an MS260 something rather, and would like to do the same. My air filter cover needs some rehab anyway... I'll defer to the...
