it is Bryan Equipment. they have been pretty good even when ordering arctic parts that they didnt stock, they were backordered but showed up in just a couple weeks which is the reason i didnt get to excited when the bearings went on backorder but now that its been well over a month

I'm seeing the carbon build up, the ring/pin damage, the worn sprocket, etc. Help me with the photo in Post #9. I hear you guys talking about large bearing damage, but what am I looking for in that photo?

Thanks.

In they old days if dirt bikes blew that lower rod bearing it was from sucking dirt and wear. In some cases lack of lubrication. What say you guys on this one? Could be a defect even?

That's because most ground men are clueless as to how saws should be treated. And they dont care either! Believe me I have seen them in action and they can ruin saws in about 5 minutes!

I'll bet some last less time than that!

Put that dead Stihl in a bin where it belongs!

If you look closely you can see the bearing cage is cracked
