Here's one to top the scratcher chain...

[WildnCrazyGuy]

Oh well... while I'm here...

Check out what's left of this 1/2" chain that was on one of my big Homelite's when I got it. The old boy that had it before me was gettin' every nickle he could out of that chain... Some of the cutters don't even have but a 1/16th of an inch left on them...

Ya know... if I soak this chain in oil and hang it for a day... I might be able to use it... be right back...

I couldn't resist...

Gary,

There is a thread that talks about how to clean dirty chains like this. I thought you said your chains got clean in the wood, no cleaning necessary. That chain needs to be cleaned... I would clean it before you sharpen it. :hmm3grin2orange: Or, maybe he was using the wrong mix or maybe even he should look into different bar oil...

It already looks like it's been cooked in oil. lol

It looks like he was cutting up zombies with it.

It had been sittin' in an old CC camp for about 30 years with that chain on it. Who knows how much wood that baby cut...

Since i'm newish (compared to a lot of members ) to the forum and use the search function often , I have come across a lot of posts from a lot of past members that have been banned , what did I miss ?

Yep, That old chain has probably seen it's fair share of wood. Just imagine it has been abused a few times too.

It is called Necroposting. Oughta be a law...

But while I'm here, Gary what is the history on that saw chain?

 

[GASoline71]

I might have even posted the original story of the saw (An old Homelite 770G)when I got it... I'll dig through the archives and see if i can dig it up. If I can't find it here, there are a couple other sites I put the story up on...

I still haven't got into gettin' it fixed up a whole lot yet. I did get a loop of new 1/2" chipper chain from Rotax Robert.

Hmmm... dual identity
After reading some old posts I was hoping that some of the banned had come back because there was a lot of good info/stories that may not be shared .
