Thought I'd share two failures you don't see everyday.
1st up oldest 066 we own that is still running that is and I honestly could not add up the hrs this saw has done put it this way a hell of a lot of hrs on this saw! Anyway bucking logs yesterday saw hits max revs in the cut and chain stops turning and immediately think snapped crank? (seen done that once B4 on a ms660) turn saw over for a look c and all looks good WTF?! so pull it apart and found this clutch carrier/spider all like shat it self!.. but got hell of a good run out of it and it was well past its used by date as you can see (pics)...
2nd failure few weeks ago when it was still running (useable B4 the stud thing) ms661 in the cut bit of crunching noises and **** and chain stops hmm WTF? lol as you can see .404 rim exploded into bits! even the old man said hes never seen a rim do that B4 only split in half when he was running 090's but never he seen one like this? as you can see (pics)....
Hope you guys have ya fires already cranking for a cold weekend! we might even get snow here Monday so they say awesome NOT ! ha...
