Fish, you should have started this thread in the winter when I had the time to mess with it all day.
I could go on forever here.......got one in right now, that I'll call: David and the Rancher. Guy that really can't get the hang of saw ownership. Probably dangerous that he owns a saw. (And he's an electrician too. I wouldn't let this guy plug in my Christmas tree.)
Saw has just been through hell so many times. It's been rebuilt. Comes in with water in the gas, bad gas, no gas, straight gas, chain on backwards, Clogged air filter,
missing air filter. I guess it's a testimony to the durability of the 55 Rancher.
Most recent bad fortune is that the saw spent an uncomfortably long time in a flooded basement. Amazingly, I got the thing running. But guys, I've never heard bearings make this much noise on a saw that runs. It sounds like dragging a cinder block across a tile floor. Used it to cut up some pallets, but I fear it's not long for this world. :msp_biggrin:
I'll think of some more.............
