    Sold Dolmar PS-5100S stuff (chains/bars 16"/60dl 3/8" .050")

    Clearing out garage, and getting rid of non-working Dolmar PS-5100S and related new/used accessories. Both my current saws are .063" Stihls so anything with .050" gauge is not any use to me. Dolmar last worked about 3 years ago, and was put aside in frustration when it stopped working...

    Finally got 2-stroke engine burble!

    You could be right. But there is very little H screw adjustment range from 4-stroking to hitting maximum rpms, so I erred slightly on the rich side to avoid too lean operation and potential damage.

    Finally got 2-stroke engine burble!

    It is a Husky 128CD for use around my home, and the max shaft rpms are < 8,000 rpm. I've tuned mine around 7400 rpm. I have a slight stall from idle to high, so probably need to re-adjust the low setting.

    Finally got 2-stroke engine burble!

    OK, so this is not a chainsaw engine but a box-store Husky multi-attachment strimmer. With the warmer and much more humid weather it was needing the carb re-tuned as it was lacking power (too rich). I reset the H/L jets to factory settings and using a tach adjusted them from there. Between the...

    Stihl Ultra fuel stabilizer works GREAT!

    Some Missouri stations that sell 91 octane sell it without ethanol. All 87 and 89 in Missouri is 10% by law.

    What Do You Have For A Bed Liner In Your Truck?

    LineX here, and one scrap also due to T-posts. Dang those things can be heavy/sharp. Otherwise I think the LineX really strengthens the thin beds in the new Chevy GMT900 pickups.

    too many ants this year

    Don't know if you can use this stuff with animals around, but in Texas I had great success with the insecticides that messed up their growth cycle. It took 4 to 6 weeks to work, because they had to take it back to the nest and feed the young, but it then pretty much killed off the nest for the...

    Identify log - osage orange?

    It is definitely not Osage Orange - wrong type of bark. Osage Orange bark is very distinctive, as is its hardness when you cut it!

    when is the best time of year to cut down trees

    I remember reading some old timers advice for cutting long lasting fence posts was to cut them after the sap had gone back into the roots for winter, so late fall and during the winter. I don't know if that really makes a difference or not.

    Amazing chainsaw carving video

    Apparently this is Big Daddy from Bioshock 2 (whatever that is). Amazing video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HCTNmBXPKU&feature=player_embedded#

    huge oak falls on house, familiar story

    chuckwood...not that it helps you (KS is kind of far), but what do you call a "nice large Eastern Red Cedar"? I am removing some from my property and wonder if they qualify, and if they do what kind of people are interested in them?

    powerlines

    Just heard back, and it is pretty easy process. The utility company will inspect the line and for no charge provide 10 feet of clearance straight up on either side of the power lines. They will leave any debris for me to clear up, which is fine since my contractor can handle that at the same...

    powerlines

    utilityman...I completely agree and understand. Sorry if the "only" was mis-understood. I am waiting for the utility company to call me back.

    powerlines

    Thanks guys. As I've already posted above I had already contacted my local utility company. What I thought was a transmission line is "only" a distribution line at 34kV. I am waiting for the distribution line maintenance department to call me back and we can take it from there. Thanks for all...

    powerlines

    Thanks for the suggestions in this thread. I now know that our local utility, KCP&L, will inspect their line for free to tell you if it is safe to trim or remove trees. They will trim or cut for free any unsafe situations, or drop the pole to meter line also for free to allow tree trimming to...
