    Trimmer head

    I bought the Echo 450 speed head and it came with a few adaptors and a rubber/plastic spacer. It went on to the Honda UMK 431 with just the spacer and did not require any adaptors. THANKS

    Trimmer head

    I'm looking for a new head for a Honda 431 straight shaft, and the Echo 450 looks good. Any thoughts? Are adaptors a problem? I've always used metal blades on the Honda and a Stihl fs 250. THANKS

    One of the online vendors said that there is a difference between a 660 and 460. You are correct. Frank

    Big Dogs for Stihl Saws

    I checked the inner dog on my 660 and it is a Stihl 1122 664 050 8B. I still need a matching outer dog for that saw. Anyone have a Stihl part number??? Some of the online vendors show the 660 and 460 take the same dogs. The 660 size dog would be much better on the 460. Will the Stihl 660 dogs...

    I've decided to upgrade the dogs on my saws. What are the current favorites?? Most of the dogs posts are from years ago. I'm looking at dogs for a 361, 460, 660, and possibly a 260 and 360. THANKS Frank

    200T carburetor accel pump block off.

    I put the new carb on and it runs much better. I'm waiting for a box of spark plugs and will run the saw after the plug is changed. It was a bolt on carb. The only change was to remove the plastic covers on the adjustment screws. This is a 2005 saw and probably has 20-25 tanks through it. My...

    200T carburetor accel pump block off.

    I haven't taken my carb apart yet. The part that I'm trying to understand is: 1 How far does the piston go in and 2 Since the piston is glued in, how does it clear the throttle shaft. THANKS I've already ordered a new carb from Dave.

    The longest bar

    My Mac I-84 came with a 72" and a 36". I have a 48" for the 084.

    Big Bar Pictures

    My basket case I-86 Mac came with a 36" and 72" bar and extra chains. Using a 50" to mill with was a 2 person operation.

    066 with 84psi... sad day! Porters?

    Fix it so that you don't wear out the cylinder Keencert threads.

    066 with 84psi... sad day! Porters?

    You can get another Keencert and replace the spark plug. The plug should not stay on the Keencert.

    My new (old) Stihl 026 idles fast/slow depending on vertical/sideways. Normal?

    Do a muffler mod and that will wake the saw up. Pull the cover and make holes above and below the existing hole. Then check the carb adjustment.

    What is a good cleaning solution to use in an Ultra Sonic Cleaner?

    What ratio on the Mean Green?

    What is a good cleaning solution to use in an Ultra Sonic Cleaner?

    I'm using about a cup of Mean Green and a cup of liquid Tide on pistons and cylinders. After 3 to 4 99 minute runs the pistons are mostly clean. Is there a better cleaner for heavy carbon and heavy grease? I have a 13L tank. That is around a pint of cleaner in 3 gallons of water.

    What happens if you clear cut the wrong parcel?

    A friend had a lot on a lake and didn't live there. He came up and found a new well on his land. A real estate salesperson had sold the property next door and didn't know the property lines, but told the well driller to drill on my friends property. It became a legal mess.

    What to charge for brush mowing ?

    Brush always has larger rocks and other tramp garbage. That stuff tears up equipment. 25 hp isn't enough to power a 5' mower is heavy grass and/or brush.
