The chain is still somewhat self feeding, so I will try a few more cuts with it today(if it stops raining). Yes a handle is in the works, and I have looked at many. It worked fine with slight shoulder pressure on the powerhead side upright, and the heel of my palm steadying the tip side. 12 inches a minute was about the rate, after figuring out what the old girl wanted, as for RPM. Lots of stuff to learn and try out, I may be hooked!
Chain is Woodland pro, 33R me thinks, 63 gauge, 8 pin, as much power the old Dolmar has, it is still very easy to bog her down, so the chain is cutting pretty well still.
When coming across a knot, had to increase pressure, as soon as it was past the engine would bog and start throwing chips.
I will touch up the chain with a few swipes of the file before we go out today.
Need to put an outboard oiler on it, although I saw no signs of lack of lube. Only had to re-tension the chain once.
Next project,
