Thank you all for the replies. And special thanks to Lightening Performance for the additional thoughts. Appreciate all the comments from everyone! The local sawmill is very busy, has a long wait period, and didn't get back to me on an exact quote. So I called a mill a little further out. They...

I'm not keen on the idea of buying a Chinese knock-off saw...or any other knock-off for that matter. However, I'm in a bind. I'm building a home that requires (5) 12"x12"x12' posts and a couple of 6"x16"x8' posts. The local sawmill I was planning to get these from is at least a month out. That...

I took the clutch out today, using cord as a piston stop. I was surprised how tight it was on! When I install the new clutch, I assume I don't have to get it as tight due to the way it spins while running. Is that correct? Also, I made an observation that may have contributed to this little...

Good tip. Thanks! I never touched this one though....so maybe a fluke or it got messed up in some other manner.

Ah, damn! I ordered one from the local shop this morning. I really appreciate the offer though! Thank you! Haha....7 gallons since 2016...in aspen, mostly. And I take a lot of pride when it comes to taking care of my tools. I touch up my chain at each gas up for instance, clean often, and...

I wish! I bought this saw in 2016. Warranty has expired. :-(

Roughly 10 minutes before this happened, I noticed my chain got super loose....looser than I had seen. Thought that was weird. Then, after I tightened it, I thought there was some extra noise and friction....but, chalked it up to my imagination and continued sawing. Guess it wasn't my...

I had about 1/4" more to cut in the back cut when my saw stopped. Geeze!!! I pull it out, start it, and heard something inside hit the saw then saw something fly out. Then the saw quit. I took the cover off and found that the E-clip that holds the sprocket on was gone....as well as the washer...

The twine was just tiny threads that had been wrapped around the shaft. It was not an intact piece of twine. The heat had melted the twine threads somewhat so it was stuck on good.

Ok. I looked for anything obvious. Couldn't see the springs (don't know how to get to them). However, there was some baling twine wrapped around the shaft between the sprocket and washer. I removed the baling twine, blew out the junk in there, and cold started it with the brake on. Without...

Thanks. I do have a tach. How does a tach and clutch spring relate?

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure which version I have. I bought it new in 2016.

That doesn't sound good! I'll check to see if I can see anything obvious.

Yes.

I didn't look too hard, and the lighting was poor and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. But....I didn't see an idle adjustment screw that is typical of every other carb I've been around. And my idle somehow increased to the point of my chain spinning pretty fast at "idle". What the heck?

I just discovered this: YNMs are Yanmars. Here's why: https://www.hoyetractor.com/YNMTractors.htm And here's the place selling the YNMs. He's a couple hours from me. http://www.biglittletractor.com/

Question: Are YNM tractors the same as Yanmars? If not, are the YNMs worth considering? I ask as I'm seeing as many YNM tractors as the Mitsubishis and Yanmars. Same deal with a bunch of new parts and paint....looking to be in great shape for similar prices.

Appreciate the advice, everyone! Let me clarify a couple things: 95% of the trees on my place are under 12" diameter at the base. And the rocks....I'm talking the size of two basketballs...and not that many, really. I grew up on a farm running a variety of tractors... so have a good sense of...

The term "rebuilt" may not have been the best on my part. Below is what the seller of one states: new Tires new Loader new paint new Clutch new ROPS and all need safety for USA market Power shift shuttle Transmission -shift without clutch 3 gear ranges x 3 fwd. speeds on shuttle and Reverse new...

I'm building a house on an acre...a wild acre with trees, stumps, rocks, and plenty of dirt to move around. A loader would be a huge asset around the place but also during construction with lifting beams, posts, etc. I wanted a skid steer, but...decent looking ones seem out of my price range...
