    Update received new gears and a pocket everything I need for putting saw back together. Then got to thinking y the gears ground apart. So how to I test this oil pump? It has a gear from crank to gear on oil pump that seems to just screw into the pump itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    100 cords a year?

    Also I forgot to add I too have a full time job more like 50 hrs a week actually I just have problem sleeping and leave in the middle of nowhere. So I split alot of wood late into the night. Or load trailers really late. I usually only sleep about 4 hrs a night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    100 cords a year?

    100 cords a year?

    I actually sell all seasoned wood. I just dump split wood on pallets that I gather all year. Then as I load wood just pull pallets out as the pile gets smaller. And yes I deliver and stack 100+ cords a year. I am very lucky and do not have to advertise or work at selling wood. I have standing...

    Well all of my saws are stihls. I have 2 290s a 029 super. Not the fancy pro saws but I am fixing to change that. Just hard to drop that much coin on a new one and it's almost impossible to find used one around where I live and have some very bad luck buying saws on Internet. Although havent...

    Does anyone else find it amazing how many people simply cannot sharpen a saw?

    I have a grinder and a file although I am no good at filing. I do however have a retired father that loves to come to the woods with me that was a gunsmith for 30 years. He can run a file like it was made for him. He can keep a chain extremely sharp. Says the secret is dont dull it to much. I...

    Yup! Another OIl Thread but with a twist

    I use the Lucas oil exclusively. I use home owner saws and run them like I stole them. And have have never had a single problem. But then again I mix small batches and tune my saws right. I think that's what matters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
