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
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
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

THANKS
I've already ordered a new carb from Dave.
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.
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.
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.
