You have a point. I have heard this about the forestry industry here. Hard to concentrate if your half baked from the previous night.

Welcome to New Zealand’s most dangerous workplace Interesting watching from NZ on TV last night. Calls intensify for forestry inquiry - Story - 3rd Degree - TV Shows - 3 News There have been 28 deaths in the past five years in NZ forestry. I've been right thru this bit of bush both...

Cheers. Cousins are from Paparoa ways they have a fair bit to do with the Matakohe Museum. Was talking to a mate last night who reckons he has one of these timber jacks in a shed out the back. Will check it out and post a pic when I see it.

Quite stoked about this. Finally got some time to try out my new 36" Alaskan. Saw is the MS660 magnum. I ran 40:1 with fully syn oil. Oregon ripping chain. My ladder setup is a bit budget, will get it proper sorted as time goes on Log was a lump of Totara. Got a few bit like this. Probably...

No exact dates sorry. Probably 1915-1916 and likely taken by photographer Albert Percy Godber who captured a lot of this history on film. This is one of Albert Percy Godber's I think from the same series. I found this online. Given a lot of his pics have the same scenery and I think I...

Glad you enjoyed them. Few more.

Forgive me if this is not in the right section. I nearly have my own chain mill up and running. Using a MS660 mag with 36" bar on a 36" Alaskin. Looking forward to getting into some timber. More on that later. I found some old historic pictures of kauri tree milling in the Waitakere ranges...

I will be moding the muffler also. Lots of threads on that.... drill, open more holes!

Thanks. It isn't a Super or MS, just an 'ol 029 (Think they called them Farmboss). Ordered impulse line, fuel line, fuel filter, seals, rings, and what the heck, piston too (and all the bits that come with that lot).

What size piston? 45mm or 46mm Having trouble figuring out what size rings to order. I don't want to take it apart right now and measure cause I am still using it. Would rather order then get the job done in a day. All info I can find is "older models" use 45mm rings/piston. Mine is...

Hey thanks. I was thinking piston rings too. I think this may be a 45mm model not a 46mm bore. Will have to check all that before ordering rings. Will have to google Seafoam to read about that.

We get Amsoil in NZ. It is about $27US for a quart bottle of Amsoil Sabre Pro.(950mls). Just picked up some Castrol Power RS TTS 2T fully syn. for the same price. It is JASO FD rated. Will try the Amsoil next time around.

Tested compression using a push in Workmate tester with schrader valve and which has a rubber end not a 14mm threaded end. Maybe not the best, mate pushed it hard in while I turned it over. 100PSI. So its getting a little tired yeah? Normal would be 110-150 I am thinking. Might try it again...

Thats what I ended up doing. Fuel line cut to 3", grub screw threaded down the end. Installed, job done. Thanks for all the replies once again.

Okay. Will try that. Thanks.

Dont think so. The cover wont go on if you do that. It either fits the way it is in the pic or with the side shown now (holes) in the slot and the solid portion facing the way it is now. You can not physically get the back cover on if it faces forward. Here is another MS290 from Youtube pic...

Hey thanks. Yeah, dealer dont have them. eBay for me... which I am having trouble finding one also at the moment. I could always make one. Another quick Q. Is this the correct way to mount the air pre filter (below). It has a solid face and a face with holes in it. Can be installed in two...

Love ma dad, but man he is rough. Ok, so I am looking at part 21 and 22 from the part diagram below? Part 1120 358 8105 and 1117 350 5800

Feel like I am spamming the board a bit. I have seen and read many post's on partial rebuilds. I am pretty confident I can manage it. The saw is a 15yr old + Sthil 029 Farmboss. My dads. You can see form my other posts I have been sorting this out lately after very little maintenance while...
