Who uses thread locker and on what parts?

Who uses thread locker and on what parts? Which thread locker do you use? I haven't used it on previous builds, but on my most recent one I noticed the 036 service manual calls for thread locker on some of the fasteners.

If and when I use it, blue locktite, case and cylinder bolts along with muffler bolts.

Most of the Loctite thread lockers will work in coffee if you got no sugar. Just takes a little. Not kidding.
Pink on lil stuf
Blue on most other you want to take apart easily.

Muffler bolts, especially on my handheld blower

I think Echo uses it on everything......which is hugely annoying.

Myself I only use it on cylinder bolts and I only ever use low strength on power equipment.

I use medium strength loctite thread locker on cylinder bolts and coil bolts.

Anything Husqvarna or for that matter anything that doesn't have serrations on the underside of the bolt head. Muffler bolts on everything and I generally use Loctite 515 gasket sealer vice Blue.

Likewise muffler bolts.

Rarely. Last time was on a knife. Too few threads to get a good bite. And always blue. Red is for space shuttle like applications.

Blue for most fasteners, especially case fasteners, and cylinder bolts/nuts. I do use red on the rod bolts, just for insurance.

Blue loctite on cylinder, muffler,oil pump and coil on Husqvarna, unless there is lock washers.

Blue on husky oil pump bolts that go into the crankcase.

What model there, Bad Brad?

I put Loctite Red #266 on ALL Stihl TS420/500i muffler screws. ( I actually use a straight pick, and stick it in the hole, wet) I don't put it on the screws because it just gobs up at the flange.
Works beautiful on deco plugs too.
.....I never have problems removing them. either. It just does it's job.

I use it by the large bottle on all tractor parts so I always have plenty . Nothing knocks bolts and buts lose worse then a tractor. I use it on those stupid husky bolts that always want to back out.
