I have a pair of the rubber Husky chainsaw boots. I really hate to wear them but I got certified through the Boy Scouts of America to be able to use a chainsaw on Scout activities and I "have" to have them. 99.9% of the time, I just wear a good leather steel toe boot and try REALLY hard to not...

My granny used to say that if you eat a bunch of onions and garlic, that the ticks and skeeters wouldn't bother you too much. I guess that it's true as they have never bothered me much (I love onions and garlic). Something about what you sweat out of your pores acts as a natural repellant. The...

My dad gave me a brand new, in the box Husky 44 about 5 years ago (he used to be a dealer) before he passed away and I got a brand new, in the box Husky 61 and a brand new, in the box Jonsered 370 after he passed away. It really sucks that Husky discontinued the 44 (and all parts for them) in...

I have worked on and ran just about every brand out there but I'm partial to Husky. I have 3 Husky's, 1 Jonsered and recently rebuilt an old Sthil 011. I have a pile (literally a large pile) of Mac's to work on as time allows. And an old Sachs that I used to love that also needs fixin'. Some OLD...

I use it for kindlin' but usually don't burn big chuncks because it burns so hot. It does smell real good when burning though.

My Great-Granddad was a Levesque, but haven't heard of that one.

So far, I've never really had to tear into my Husky 61 yet. But then, it was brand new (in the box) when I got it after my dad passed away @ 3 years ago. He was a dealer. Anyway, it'll have to wait until tomorrow, but I may have a diagram for the carb. I have lots of literature. If I can find...

Generally, I work by my self. My son comes out and helps me load and every once in a while he'll help ,e limb, buck and pile up the brush. It is safer having a second person in the woods with you, but I like working alone, for the solitude and not having to watch out for someone else when...

I'm glad you got it figured out. I have a Husky 61 (was running it today) that I got about three years ago after my dad passed away. He was a dealer back in the day and mine was brand new (was a display in his shop) when I got it. Mine is the orange top. I just wish it was a little...

My dad used to own a shop and I've been using NOS stuff that he had. I can't remember what brand it was, but it was a name brand. Recently, I've been using the stuff from TSC as it's cheaper than the Poulan stuff at Wally-World.

I wish I could afford a new top handle saw. I guess that I'll just have to stick with my Mini-Mac's. Well, when I get one running, that is. I have four or five that I'm tinkering with right now. Even as hard as they are to work on, I love it when I can bring an old saw back to life.

Oh... and she's got over 400,000 (yes, four hundred thousand) miles on her. I am the third owner and the engine has never been rebuilt completely to my knowledge.

My old Dodge is a 1976 W-100 (Power Wagon) Big block 400, Edelbrock 750 4bbl carb on a Edelbrock 318 Performer intake. Full-time 4wd. She's old and ugly but she's paid for and runs good. She's a beat up goin' to the woods work truck and I've had her for over 16 years now. I haul everything. I...

Back when I was a teenager, we had a HUGE Elm out in front of our saw shop. The local historical society came around one day and said that they wanted to measure it, and if it was big enough, put one of those small "historical" plaques on it. Well, it was the second biggest (oldest) in the...

I think it was a nice find. I like to tinker, myself. My dad owned a chainsaw shop for a LONG time. After he passed away a few years ago, one of my brothers and I were cleaning out one of his storage buildings and we hauled A LOT of stuff to the dump for scrap. We did keep a bunch of stuff that...

I've been running a saw since I was big enough to hold one (@ 36 years). I grew up in a chainsaw shop that my dad owned. Until recently, I have never used any PPE except sunglasses and ear muffs. Knock on wood, I have only ever been cut once, and that wasn't my doing, it was my dad's mistake. I...

I love Mini-Mac's. I grew up in a chain saw shop (my dad's) and I started working on all the yellow beasts when I was five or six years old. I have four or five sitting in my shop and several large boxes of NOS parts just waiting for me to get around to fiddling with them. When we were cleaning...

Well, I don't have photos (I know the thread title was to show your Husky's) but I have a Husky 44, a Husky 61 (both were brand new, in the box when I got them 3 years ago after my dad passed away - he used to be a dealer) and just got a Husky 440. I'm not a "pro" and only have 90 acres that I...

I don't have any photos but I saw someone mention earlier using an "A" frame at the back of the trailer. That is what I use myself with a pulley to lift the logs onto the back of the trailer then I unhook from the frame and use the winch to pull the logs to the front. I was using a Milemarker...

Back when my dad was still alive and working, he was a dealer. He always had 4-5 different brands in his shop at a time. That must be a new mfg/dealer req. I've never heard that before.
