Hey guys, I picked up a box of stihl parts yesterday. In that box was this carcass The picture isn’t the best, I should have taken more. I think it’s a large cc saw as the dogs on it are pretty big. Any ideas as to what it is? Thanks, TF

Hey Guys, I picked up a McCulloch 7-10A today with a toasted bar. The other week I picked up some blacksmithing stuff from and old logger who saved the tools from a scrap pile. He had what I think is a 24" sprocket nose mcculloch branded bar sitting there that he gave me. The numbers on the...

Hey Guys, Does anybody know if there are any American dealers for GB that still sell these? I had been on a waiting list for left coast supplies, but they never got a new order in before they closed up shop. I have a few in the 25-30" range but I wanted to get a 48" bar. The place in the UK...

Hey guys, So there was an 070 clone on facebook marketplace. It was up for quite a while and kept getting cheaper and cheaper. It said it needed a new clutch, the guy said he only used it for three jobs which I believe based on the condition of the bar and paint. I asked him if the slipping...

Hey Guys, I picked up a 60" bar today to use for milling. The slot width is approximately 9.5 mm. It only has one set of oil holes, but it has three bar adjusters drilled in it. The tip is marked oregon, but I stripped the paint off the lower ends of the bar since the pictures were taken and I...

Hey Guys, Life is settling down a bit and cooler weather is here. I hope to try out my ripsaw this winter on a few logs. It came with some used blades but I'd like to pick some new ones up for it. Do any of you have a good source for blades? Thanks! TF

Hey Guys, Just thought I'd share a couple pictures of my latest good bad decision. I picked this up from the sister of one of my co-workers, it was their father's. Turning it into a milling saw crossed my mind but it's too nice and too old to do that too. It'll probably be garage art and ride...

I'm looking for a good set of plastics from a ms290. I need the air filter cover and the shroud/rear handle assembly. Thanks, TF

Hey guys, I just picked up a ripsaw portable bandmill mounted on a 440 magnum powerhead a few weeks ago. From the research I've done it looks like it would be beneficial to edge the logs into cants before using the ripsaw to extend the life of the bandmill blades. I was planning on using a...

Hey Guys, Is there a 7 tooth spur sprocket available for the Dolmar/Makita 64/73/79 cc saws? Similar to this Stilh one 1128 640 2000 ? I picked up a ripsaw from craigslist(portable saw driven bandmill attachment). I ended up buying the 440 magnum that he had with it, but I have too much stuff...

Does anybody else see what they want to see sometimes? I was running up by a relatives place and was already running late when I passed a rummage sale that actually looked like it had decent stuff. I spied a bright orange saw case so I stopped. Inside I took a quick look and saw what looked to...

Hey Guys, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this post or not. I'm trying to figure out if I can transport firewood from my grandmother's land in Price County down to Fond du Lac or Dodge county. I've been looking at the DNR websites and I can't find a clear answer to this. Both...

Hey Guys, Just a heads up. I was at a Wally World this weekend and was going to buy a bottle of the stuff mentioned above. They didn't have any but they had a bottle of some other synthetic there that I didn't recognize for 7.97 for 19.6 oz. I stopped at another Wally World today on my lunch...

Hey Guys, Last weekend I dropped a large old pine of some type in my yard, it almost looks like an Italian stone pine... Taking a quick look at the growth rings I aged it to about 70 years old. My Jonsered 535 although running like a champ seemed a little undersized for the task. Since this...

Hey Guys, I broke out the cheapo ryobi this spring and the pull cord was extremely hard to pull. It started on the second pull and ran with no issues so i knew the problem was with the recoil. I pulled the recoil cover off and found one of the dogs mounted to the flywheel that are spring...

Hey guys, Picked up this little saw from a co-worker. I couldn't find any information about it online. Does anybody know the specs? I assumed it's made by poulan, it's a full metal body saw. Thanks, TF

Hey Guys, Earlier this summer I picked up an 041 AV from a buddy less bar and chain. It would start and run on the second pull. I put it away for a month and last week when my uncle was over i took it out to show him and I couldn't get it started. After he left i fiddled with it a bit and...

Hey guys, Thanks to you guys I have a mini chainsaw addiction going on right now. I picked up a 041AV from a buddy of mine for 20 dollars. The saw is less bar & chain but has a rebuilt carb and new piston & ring, but i guess has a ignition problem after it gets warm. It starts easy and runs...

Hey Guys, I've lurked on here a couple times and finally set up an account. I picked up a wild thing for 129.99 today, as i've really enjoyed using my father's saw. I came here looking at the modifications that could be done and noticed the Ryobi 10532. I'm wondering if I should take the...
