Had this rotten trunk on a Maple. Notch was made, started my back it and she split and started to go. I expected that may happen so I hit my escape route. Luckily the tree went exactly where it was supposed to sometimes you win.

On the way out, spotted this young buck. Was 10' from the truck. Just looked at us and then continued eating.

Decided that instead of doing some BS tomorrow I'm going to attend a funeral for one of my cousins who just died. The guys are all gonna be working on a big planting job that needs to get done ASAP, weather is supposed to be questionable... and it's my responsibility to represent the family in such times.

Used my ms660 to top a stump before grinding and in run ok for a few min and then starting to run like crap and cut off. Would not restart, finished the cut with a 391 and ground the stump. Removed the plug when i got home and the muffler and found the engine is gone, as in piston and cil are ate up like it has been run without oil in the gas. I know the gas was mixed because i am the only one that does it and saw had gas in it fron the last tree job we did and all the other saws are fine. So I am going to the dealer tommorow and see if the will help me, saw in 11 months old and ony used 7 times. Any one else had a problem like this?

if this rain keeps coming down like it is, i am gonna have to get a barge so i can just float my truck into peoples back yards to remove there trees.

I just set fire to all my paperwork... especially the stuff from my ins company that said they weren't paying yer medical bills. Its OK though, I got a jewish lawyer so rack em up, I am.

Parts and service for Huskys/Jonsereds/Echo/Solo,etc are a quagmire in my little nook of this wide world, (Huntsville, Ontario) whereas local Stihl dealer is excellent to deal with. One shed in the backyard has become a morgue for saws that gave their all in the line of duty. Lots of different coloured carcasses cause they all die eventually.

 

[mattfr12]

Yeah, thats what we did, it was just hard getting a 1 1/4" wrench in there!

I bought a 93 f-250 that I got a one ton rear for that has the 7.3 turbo and I love driving that thing it's a four speed
With overdrive. Paid 500$ for it ill have to post some pictures. did a complete restoration/ pimping on it. I put around 10k in it just because it was my grandpas and would never sell it. The flat bed was 3500$ so that's why it's 10k, threw some stacks on it all LED lights and its sweet. I haul my stump grinder on the back of it. It carries my Carlton Ox fine and its over 4k, I got 7 leafs on each side with some super duty shocks from sky jacker. I'll get some pictures tomorrow.

I worked with the same company for 5 years. We ran all stihls up to the 660. In one year we seized three 660's. Owner ended up going with 2- 390's and a 395 with never a problem. Huskys are nice but seem to be cold blooded when run horizontal. I prefer stihls but after the 460 huskys are choice.

Has been a lot of fun other than the started. I swear they use trolls to put some of these bolts in.

I'm going to send it to the paint shop soon. Man does that thing roll coal out the pipe mean little pickup for being 20 years old.

79-65 is really impressive to still be ticking. You got your money worth and some.

Hhmmmm, was blaming my guys for my recently fried less than 1 yr old 460, had to rush and buy a 660 to get a big job done. Still haven't fixed it yet, wanted to check out the hoses and seals first. Dealer I go to didn't have any Pro Huskys or I would have tried one instead of getting the 660.

Thats alright, I got a letter from the ladys insurance saying she wasnt at fault and they denied paying the medical bills also. Should be a crime how tight these insurance companys are when they gotta pay, but if your payment is a day late they want to cancel your policy. WTF.

Yep, my 660 crapped out this summer too, although it's an older saw, saw tech said it was over heated, had to install complete cylinder/piston set...:msp_sad:$$$$!

Unfortanitly nobody manufactures quaility stuff anymore. They go with the cheapest parts they can but seem to charge a rediculas amount for junk.

Lol more than ticking it's working hard every day It hauled around 50 tons last week :jawdrop:

 

[OLD OAK]

Well i droped off the 660 at the dealer today, talked to the owner who is a real nice guy and told him my problems. He is going to take it apart and try to find out what happened. When he finds out he said he with get with the Stihl rep. I will let you all know if Stihl is going to stand behind their saws.

I had my old chevy out yesterday. I love that truck. I must've had it up to 80 with a just under 7k chipper in tow and some chips. I couldn't resist letting it sing a little. Don't know much about no fords. Lol.
