    7900 questions

    tdi-rick is correct..... I "believe" that a majority of the hard cases whether it be Shindaiwa (That's what mine is in) or echo or even unbranded are probably made by the same place. I saw an echo and shindaiwa side by side and they were exactly the same. I used a razor knife and 4" grinder...

    Shindaiwa 490 air filter question

    dust in the carb..... I don't know what else it could have been. Carb was adjusted per specs through the business I bought it from. I saw no signs of it being out of spec either. There was no doubt on the oil/fuel mixture. I use opti mix with good ole fresh 87 octane. I bought the saw...

    Tailgate down=2 lost saws!!!

    please p.m. me the number I talked to a few stores today with no luck. Most didn't have a clue when they would sell their rentals. Only one store said "maybe" in a few months. I know some of the employees there can be quite lazy so I took their answers with a grain of salt. Please p.m. the...

    Tailgate down=2 lost saws!!!

    Steps were retraced I drove about 18 miles and I noticed they were gone as soon as I stopped. I immediately called my neighbors and one was nice enough to head down the road and look for me. I met her half way to no avail. I drove all the way back and checked all ditches. I have a bad...

    Tailgate down=2 lost saws!!!

    lesson is...don't be a dumbass...lol Those were the only two saws I own. I can borrow the old man's for a while, but I'll need to find something sooner than later. Pretty low on funds right now so it's going to be a struggle just to replace one of them. Buck

    Tailgate down=2 lost saws!!!

    I use the saws for a partial income and personal use I'm only working about 2-3 days a week right now due to construction being slow where I live. I use the saws for side work (supplemental income) and to cut wood for my parents, mother in law and myself. The 6401 was used for all of the big...

    efco saws

    jd cs56.....damn good saw My old man has a John Deere cs56 and we both absolutely love it. It replaced a stihl 034 av super. I think the most impressive part of the saw is how easy it starts. It's usually a two pull start even after it's sat for a long time. It's been working for 3 years...

    Electric Chain Saw Sharpeners pros and cons please

    my 2 pennies worth I think hand filing and grinder filing both have their places in this world. I think it's priceless to have a hand file and know how to use it when you don't have the option of having power or being close to your grinder. Without a vise I personally am not the best at...
