Bluish/dark streaks from long gone ferrous metal are seen quite often in very old 'yard trees'' in most places. This was some large White Oak (that originally was growing just a few blocks northeast of me) my tree service contact dumped in my backyard Dec.2013.You can see the streaks/spots that...

Unfortunately the FB vintage chainsaw forums are full of such ''experts''.That's why any advice I need or questions I might have,this is the place I go every time.👍

I use for kindling/fire starter pretty much everything from 1" to 2"" diameter.Anything less than 1" diameter is piled up for wildlife cover.Leaving smaller tops/branches in longer rough lengths in a pile,when I get back to them often weeks or months later I'll cut them in shorter lengths...

AF cover looks like a Super 250,but the 650/660 gear drive have same cover

The ones in the last years of production 1975-early 1977 had the operator presence lever in the rear handle with throttle lock.My 3 slightly earlier 125's (CP125,stock 125C,125C with 101B kart engine) have just that throttle lock button separately with a ''solid'' cast magnesium rear handle.

Looks like I'm a day late,story of my life :dumb2::laughing: Already have a very strong P42 & a complete,very clean P41 with unknown spark/carb issues that will be either a parts donor for the P42 or unfinished project.

450 is 74cc,550 is 84cc.Great saws,I have one of each,both strong runners.Guessing from some my literature & ChainSaw Age magazine ads,the 550 was introduced first,around late 1978/early 1979,then the 450 was after that around 1980-81. The legendary 750 was introduced June 1978,according to a...

I plead the fifth.Probably a good thing I'm not married.

Woman: Can I get Viagra here? Pharmacist: Yes. Woman: Can I get it over the counter? Pharmacist: If you give me two of them, you can.

Nothing this year.Wasnt really anything that I needed or wanted,that I could think of anyway.So I didnt bother giving out a list of ''hints'' to various family members.... The best Christmas present I could get (or any other kind) is still being alive.Actually not just alive but stronger now &...

I took typing in 9th grade back in the late 70's,cause I thought it would be an easy class (it wasnt really) but mainly to meet babes (it worked) Surprising I barely passed the class at the end of 2nd semester,but did have perfect attendance the entire year.In the 23 yrs I've been online my...

Not bad....I splurged since payday is tommorow - that PayPal Pay in 4 sure is nice since my retirement - 4 payments deducted from bank account spread out over 6 weeks with NO interest like putting on a credit card either.$19 & change,shipped including 7% sales tax. My current installed one...

That dont bother me,since the wood gets further processing once its drier.I've always used skip chain on bars 24" or longer.Gives a little more power,more chip clearance in bigger heavy cuts,plus is a little quicker to file especially on extra long bars.Only drawback is sometimes it can really...

Used my PM850 a week or so back to rough out some short slabs of local Green Ash (curbside find a few blocks away) All the smaller stuff picked up by others or run through the chipper before I got there.That's OK,I prefer logs 14"diameter minimum to 36" or so.I can get all the smaller stuff (12"...

Its basically stock.I did dual port the muffler,retune the carb a little after that,plus replace the low top air filter with a no longer available NOS high top one with the big pleated air filter in summer 2012,just after it was purchased.

If I remember correctly,my 288XPW with 28" bar/new out the box milling chain went through roughly 4.5 gallons of 40-1 mix this May-June when milling 2 Black Walnut logs in neighbor's backyard - One log 14" at small end,20" at large end,73" length other log was 20" at small end,25" at butt...

My P42 is quite impressive for a 66cc stock saw,handles a 24" bar/chain buried in local hardwoods no problem,but I normally keep a 20" on there for best RPM's.

My Shagbark Hickories (most of them) are just full of nuts this year,best year since 2013.I've picked up 6-7 pounds a few days ago,hope to get another 5-6 pounds in week or so.If my back would cooperate I could get 15 pounds per acre if I really wanted..Leaving the majority of them for...

After I've had a few drinks with not much to eat,but others might think differently.

Neighbor's landlord (they're just renting the house) to my south about 50 feet had a decent Black Walnut removed on May 6th.Owner of small tree service (3 man crew including the main guy) dont burn wood himself or even sell it,unlike most small-medium sized tree companies round here.I asked for...
