    Where Do I Find Good Quality Stihl Parts

    I've not been charged shipping. My dealer just adds my parts to his order and calls when my stuff comes in. If I get my order to him by Friday, I usually have my parts by the following Tuesday.

    You all tried to warn me: Upgraded to a pro-saw - MS362C

    Stumbled onto a dealer who got a 462 in on Thursday, They held it for me and I picked it up today...

    You all tried to warn me: Upgraded to a pro-saw - MS362C

    Since getting my 462, I'm considering getting rid of the 362 and replacing it with another 462 with a 20" bar...

    Performance Built 32 ton Log Splitter

    32 ton with 10s cycle. My concern is that it has a 250 cc engine with only 6.5 HP

    Performance Built 32 ton Log Splitter

    Found one of these at Lowe's today. Any input? Decent? Run away?

    Got some pix of a freshly filed chain. Any input, comments, critiques welcome. I'm satisfied with the outcome, but if I can be doing something differently/better, I'd like to learn! I know the resolution isn't the greatest!

    3/8 full skip on shorter bars for smaller saws???

    I run 33RSF60 on my 261 c-m with a 16" bar. Faster chain speed and the chips really fly!

    Inside the MS462C - Snellerized Style

    Brad, That looks like those spikes are on the standard clutch cover? Just a little fitting required at the corners?

    Does it have it's own roller catcher number as well?

    OEM dual felling dogs for an MS461.

    Thanks for this answer. I tried to put the 362 dual spikes on my 462 this weekend, with the same issue. Fit, but don't line up. Has anyone figured out what will fit the 462? It looks like the R version has them. Anyone have part numbers for that? Thanks

    No, I can take criticism, especially when it's constructive. I'm a lifetime learner. So after the initial "break-in" period I sharpen after every use, which is usually a tank or less. Like I mentioned, I use Stihl sharpening equipment, the file holder with guide and the filing guide that goes on...

    wtf moment

    No offense taken. I was not joking. If I get a chance I'll post up some pix of my sharpened chains. I use Stihl guides, files and gauges. I have chains with teeth half the length of when they were new and other than that they match the profile of a new tooth. My sharpened chain typically cut...

    wtf moment

    I will usually run a new chain for two cutting sessions before I sharpen. Then 4 strokes per tooth with file guide and it's good as new. I then sharpen after every use. Once I have to drop the rakers for the first time, I go to the next size up file ( for .404) and do 4 strokes per tooth. This...

    New MS462 C-M...

    I'm hoping to see improved performance from my 462 with break-in. I have just shy of 3 tanks through it. Don't get me wrong, it has good power and runs smoothly, (It sounds like a Saab turbo to me) but it doesn't come close to the raw power of the 661. I know it will never match the 661, but I...

    MS462 Bar Size... is bigger better???

    I think it actually feels better in the hands cutting with the standard ES bar.
