My NE has an orange cover, and is not an xpg.

I seen a Vietnam war show on AHC channel and the troops were using a big yella Mac. They appeared to be setting up a fire base on a mt. top. The troopers were using the big Mac to clear out a tangle of logs that looked like they'd been flattened by a "daisy-cutter". Maybe circa '68 to '70 by...

Drill it as close to dead center as possible and use an easy out. Also clean it up after drilling with spray carb cleaner and comp. air, then heat it up and melt some wax down in the hole before you try to extract the stub. Wax works as a penetrating lube and helps getting to break free.

I've got a nice super XL 925 , its wearing a bigger bar and chain. It's a later model one w/ electronic ignition. It was running but needs a carb kit now.

!00 bucks a cord to have a truck deliver logs here, doug fir, jeffery pine, lodgepole, etc. no hardwoods to be had.

I just burn whole sticks and or chunks in my homemade smoker

Jon's a great guy. I spoke with about quail hunting back when he lived in Cali. For what it's worth remember to add 15% to the compression readings to make up for the difference in altitude. (21psi)

I've found that more modern saws generally out perform older iron. A 3120 or 088 would be faster and lighter.

I sharpen here about once an hour using just an Oregon file guide, take about ten minutes for a full comp 20" or 24" Saves alot of time cutting thru the wood. And I usually need a water break in an hour anyway.

I've had two 61's they were both great saws. One has been converted to a 272.

I love mulberry wood when I can get it. I never noticed it for being "sparky".

How are you doing at the new place Mike? The 925 you sold me a jug for runs great.

Sorry to hear of your pin bearing failure. I would also go with a factory bearing after having a failure like that. I've never had a pin let go, I'm also on 32:1 full synth oil and muff mods on everything.

I did a muf mod to the wife's hedge trimmer and made the carb adjustable, what a big improvement.

Check to see if all of the circlips are on the ends of the piston pin as sometimes the ends of the circlips will break off at the bend..... ask me how I know.

I also block off the governor as it makes them much easier to tune. I use a 6mm remington cartridge case as a punch (.243 win. or any of the .25 calibers will also work)

I use a rope down the spark plug hole. I've heard of piston stops bustin' a hole in the top of the piston. I use a breaker bar with a spark plug deep socket that has thirds of it cut away to make a three pronged clutch removal tool. Then I have at it with a 1/2 drive breaker bar.

Callin' dibs on the partner.

Early VW fuel injection on rabbits etc used alot of metal banjo fittings. Two or three different sizes. They are in the range of what might be needed.

It was so warm here this winter I only used 1/2 to 3/4 of a cord of mostly pinyon pine.
