I forgot we have some people here with tractors/dozers----I like the Cat D8h,D8k . Had a D342 6 cylinder . Top rpm at about 1200 .. YOU CAN pull/push anything. Does your allis have a master clutch/transmission .

What, people have tractors? I always thought that part of the fun of working was doing it by hand. Not!
I have my eye on a little JD track loader that I drive by when I go to school. It's a cute little thing and would like to buy it eventually. Hasn't gone anywhere in years, so it must have some problems, but still...who wouldn't want a little dozer to play with.

Because they can (which I do not find right). $17 for a single air filter? Don't tell me that they don't make any money in parts sales. Heard someone on another thread say that an ms880 crank alone cost over $300. Their pricing is way out of wack.

Try $35 plus tax for an 034 air filter, yikes. I bought aftermarket.

I would love to sell it to you for $35.00 But my special shipper(a guy named Leroy on a bicycle) would cost$200.00 to get it to you. I would not want to do a friend that way

Haha I like it! You're a clever man. If I had the money I would pay to have a guy on a bicycle deliver a saw to me just because it'd be pretty awesome lol.

 

[LonestarStihl]

Haven't been paying attention lol, I've been watching stihl timbersports videos, they are awesome! that's sweet about the heavy equipment mechanic, that's what my dad does

I already have my wife talked into taking the boys to go watch one of those competitions

You tell me it has 3 forward gears 3 reverse gears, then a hi/low split so it really has 6 forward gears 6 reverse gears, hand clutch

After a while you'll remember to bring your own lube when going into the Stihl dealer.

Yeh warming can be nice sometimes. Flavored is a waste because they never return the favor

Now you're talking!! Do the boomer and get you a TV tray in front of your ez chair and watch tv while working on a saw

Holy crap man, that's highway robbery

 

[Boomer 87]

Yeah everytime i spend that on parts, i think man ive bought complete saws for 5 bucks now im spending 50 on piddly crap.

 

[brandonstc6]

Anyone considered using one of these? It's pretty cheap and it looks like it would work.
Just on an every now and then saw. I'd use a better filter for everyday use

Dang that's rough. And it probably cost them $2 to make. I need a new chain brake handle for the 660 but I haven't dared price it out yet

 

[Boomer 87]

Whats it supposed to fit?

It looks like it would work just fine, of course I would want a larger filter for one, even if I had to cut the top cover some

They don't seem to have that many options for a 44mm filter. I think 45mm is more common
