MS 261 C Help

[Gypo Logger]

After just 4 tanks thru a new 261 Arctic, I broke one of the screw thingys that hold down the top cover. Not the saws fault, it seems they don’t like to be unscrewed at 25 below. I broke both cams on the foot of the screw after applying excessive torque. I did a search here but came up empty handed.
Does anyone know how to change them without doing further damage?
They cost 12$ a pop here.
Thanks

Are you trying to be humorous?
That thing looks more like a ring compressor from here.

Hi John, never worked on one. The service manual (pages 40,41) say to use a drift pin.

I will, but I’m busier than a Tennessee ant hill.
Are there any trees down there?

No, since they got rid of all of those cherry trees,
we just let the **** trees grow.

Deal! I’ll come down there to get all the Hedge Apple and Black Locust.

It makes one wonder why the trees with the most BTU’s grow in the warmest climates and why all we have up here are conifers, poplar, willow and some sporadic paper birch.
Could some kind soul deliver a cord of crabapple for me? I burned up my favourite chair yesterday after it collapsed because company was rocking on it. The rock maple it was made of threw off some pretty impressive heat.
Thanks

Flippy caps are actually an IQ test.
If they trouble you, then you’re dumber than a sack of hammers.
If you’ve got them figured out right off the hop you should be a rocket scientist and shouldn’t be donkey dinking around with chainsaws.

I always wondered about why the fish are so big in Canada, when your summer is only about 3.6 days long......

The fish are so big here because Canada has a strict catch and release program so that the Japanese can have them all once they migrate to the ocean. It’s something about our free trade agreement.

If you’re caught in possession of a fish over 80 pounds you’ll be spending 3 long and cold winter months cutting firewood for the RCMP barracks.
If you’re caught with a fish under 80 pounds you’ll be surrendering all your firearms.
I just can’t figure it all out.

What! We have 4 months of days with light, 4 months that the sun don`t quite make it above the horizon and just 4 months of total darkness. There is plenty of time to catch fish...LOL
