LOL! I've had that avatar for YEARS. Sort of a self portrait I guess. I've been called a bird of a different color more than once, so I guess what you were seeing isn't that far off!

Yes an' yes. DTR admin actually. Not a lot of time for either lately.

This is what would worry me the most: "We are not responsible for any custom duty or import tax.These charges are not included in the item price and shipping cost."

Do you know how that's done? I have the service manual for this saw but it doesn't even make reference to the vent, much less explain how to change it!

Thanks mdavlee! So should I have got a squirt of oil from the vent when I pushed on it? I've left the saw in the warm shop, (without a bar on it), and I have a decent sized puddle under it after a day. It looks like it's coming from the oil discharge tube that feeds the bar, but if I'm...

Thanks!

I've already posted this in the chainsaw section but only got 2 replies. I know it's not a modded saw but I thought I'd get more than that! This is on a Husky 385xp that's about 12 years old. The pic below helps explain what I'm looking at and don't understand. Is the tank vent the little...

I figured out the fuel tank vent... when I removed the tank, it fell out! According to the service manual I got on-line, there's supposed to be a cap on it and it's supposed to fit into the tank rather snugly. So I ordered one of those and will try it. Why this would cause the engine to flood...

Thanks!

Where is the tank and oiler vents? Not in the caps I assume? Thanks for the links, I'll check them out!

It's been quite a few years since I had a whole herd of saws and used them daily, but it seems I'm getting back into the logging stuff more and more lately. I'm not sure if I like this or not, but it is what it is I guess. Anyway, being out of the loop for so long, I've forgotten a lot of stuff...

Well, ya kinda DO need it. Mine calls for 22gpm and I have a 27 running it so I can scavenge the other 5gpm for the log clamp and saw bar movement. I'm also running all that thru a Sun RSHC-LAN-HCD Sequencing valve and a RD-575 Adjustable flow divider so I can adjust the rate at which the saw...

Cat Yellow. Equipment should be yellow! I'm not! It will be, yes. You wanna paint it for me? (I HATE painting!) Thank you, but it's not anything any one of you here couldn't do if you put your mind to it. Welding is 99.999999% practice and .00000001% skill! As to the design, any moron can copy...

I'm afraid there won't be a whole lot of progress to report for a while. I leave Sunday to attend a week-long conference. The week after that I *MAY* have some time to achieve something, but the following week I leave for Massachusetts for 3 weeks. It's our busy season for fire prevention...

I have 2 pieces of 3" X 10" X 3/8" rectangular tubing that I was originally going to use as the 2 main splitting beams, just as you suggest, but I didn't like how wide it was going to make the top of the beam. I was afraid small diameter log would get pushed to one side or the other once they...

I kinda figured using 2, 1 1/4" X 10" Flats topped with a 1" X 6" flat and gussetting them to the processor frame would eliminate most twisting issues, but we'll definitely find out when I split some of the nasty, twisty rounds the tree companies bring me. I couldn't even find a beam that would...

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. For some reason I didn't get any email notification that this thread had new posts and I've been so busy lately that I haven't regularly checked. Anyway, that is a Schultz P50B442BYSP25-73CAK15-1, 2 section pump, 57gpm on the large side and 27gpm on the...

I didn't have a stub shaft for one. Nor did I have a flywheel. The engine came out of a truck application with an automatic tranny, so I cut the torque converter in half along the circumference and machined a stub shaft to fit into the center hole of the converter. The converter then bolted to...

I know it's been a while, but I've made some progress and I HAVE been taking pictures. So here they are: Got the spikes on the in-feed chain. Every 8th link has a spike, 17 in all. Made from heavy 3" channel, cut at an angle 1" up from the bottom. And a slide for them to ride on under...

Okay, I just tried this. Went out in my shop, filled a paper bag with water, (that in itself was a trick!), and held my torch to the bag. Bag immediately caught on fire, water made the torch pop and bang and now I have a shop that smells like a rubbish fire. I wanna see this 'bag won't burn'...
