    Can anyone check if stihl part# is available

    I have been wanting one of these bars for awhile now and I just rode down to my local Stihl shop and asked about this bar. He actually got on the phone and called his supplier and they said they are no longer available in the 20" length, can someone else verify this?

    Using Green Lumber?

    A friend of mine is wanting to build a swing set for his kids, he is cutting up some red oak to build the frame out of. The question is does he need to let it air dry before building or can he put it up right after its sawed since its going to be outside anyways? In general if wood is used...

    Wide Pitch Pine

    I want be cutting it 14', that's just the closest place I could get a tape measure around. I plan to cut everything 10'6" or so. Its killing me waiting on parts to finish up my 394, parts should be here today and I can get her running tomorrow. I just ordered the 42" Power Match bar, a...

    Wide Pitch Pine

    I figured by dividing by 3.14 that I should be looking at a 30" diameter log, that of course is 14' up from the stump, close as I could get because rest was marred up in the ground. As soon as I get my saw together and purchase a 42" bar and chain, I will cut the stump off and let it...

    Wide Pitch Pine

    I understand now, I have always called Pith the "Heart" of the tree. I to am wondering about the PVC rolling, even though I dont have kids and I plan to strap it pretty tight once I get the stickers installed. I was looking through Baileys and they sale End Sealer, is there stuff pretty good...

    Wide Pitch Pine

    Thanks for the replies! Questions: What are you referring to when you say Pith? Do you think I will have any problem with using PVC for my stickers? I just thought it would put less surface area on the slabs and let more air in, plus I got plenty of...

    Wide Pitch Pine

    I have just bought a 36" Alaskan and setting it up with a 42"bar on a 394xp. I was out hiking the other day and ran across a huge Pitch Pine that had just blown over. I went back and took some measurements and the tree is right 96" around 14' up, so this got me thinking a little. I have in my...

    Ms461....

    From the picture off the German site, it looks like it has some sort of intake tube coming off the flywheel. I don't think anyone has mentioned that yet and to what benefit it has!

    Timbersport axes

    I too am wanting to get into chopping. I just picked up a nice Hults Bruks 4.5lb single bit axe, its a good size axe to practice with it seems. The handle in it even has the metal safety pin through the handle and head. I am wanting to replace the handle because the current one is a little...

    question about a 288xp pull rope

    I am replacing the pull ropes on my 181 and 2100 husky's and was wondering what is the best pull rope out. Both saws especially the 181 have high compression and break ropes atleast every year. I was going through the archives and found a company, Armorcord and was wondering if anyone knows of...

    RPM's

    saw porting is the big thing in rpm's, I have a great running and very strong 372 built by Dave Neiger, it was tuned by him down here in SC to 13,700, I have kept it set at that for the last 5 years. I pull the plug every year to check it and its always just a light golden brown. I remove the...

    40-1 vs. 50-1 ???

    I agree with several people on here, quality synthetic oil, in my case Stihl Ultra and 93 octane NO ETHANOL, and TUNED PROPERLY! I was told by Dave Neiger that the more oil you run the lower the octane of the fuel, he said 50:1 in anything 2-stroke, even my old Pro-mac 700 runs alot better on...

    pioneer p42 ????

    I just checked the stats out and the P62 and BP655 are identical, I thought I had read on here that they were the same saw for the most part.

    Shindaiwa 757?

    I see you have another 757, take the carb off it and see if you have the same problem. That would rule out if its something else or indeed the carb, just my $.02
