My friend ended up with a burnt piston in his 44 Magnum. One of his boys ran it with straight gas (for a few seconds). :dumb: I told him, to bring the saw on over and we will get her back in action in no time. So in late October of 2016 he came over to the house, with a box of parts, and...

I had a guy at church bring me two saws the other day. A MS290 and a 026AV. He said I could keep the 026 if I could get the 290 running. I told him I would see what I could do.... [emoji19] It took me about 30 minutes to get the 290 running. It had a dirty carb. He got his saw back and...

Up for TRADE is a Sachs Dolmar 116 (this is not an "si" saw) This saw was purchased new around 1986. It has always been used as a homeowner/firewood cutter. There is a small chip missing from the air filter cover, but it does not affect the filter at all (you can see the chip in one of the...

I have a barn find (literally).... Vintage Homelite Chainsaw It is a Super XL This saw is ready for your tender loving restoration. (i.e. it does not crank.) It looks to be all original and all there. Gas tank is not rusted. The bar is a vintage 18" Oregon. Price is $45 + the ride I will trade...

I traded today for this axe head. I thought it was interesting. I figure with all the tree men on here someone might have seen something like this before. I cannot find any makers mark on the axe. Do you guys think it was made like this originally? Was it damaged somehow and ground down? Was...

Believe it or not, I actually traded for this saw about a year ago. It looked terrible, but it had a brand new Oregon 20" bar/chain on it so I made the trade. I don't even remember what I traded for it. :crazy: The previous owner said it had been left out in a field (forgotten is more like...

I have a silver Sachs Dolmar 112 that I want to trade. I am no collector and I figure someone would like to have this old girl. You can see the original silver color in the picture where the muffler is pulled. The good news is that there appears to be no damage to this saw (i.e. cracks or...

Piston and Cylinder Clutch assembly Brake assembly Shoot me a PM if you have a project saw to part with or just individual parts. I have a project saw, and I wanted to resurrect it if possible. Thanks!

This year, it seems like I am acquiring a sizable pile of what I call "off fall". It is the tail pieces of a log or thick limb stubs that I have cut off of the main trunk. I am talking about 8" chunks and 1" branches about 12" long. Some of this is cherry and pear which are very suitable for...

I traded for a MS361 about a year ago, and I finally put a wrench on it the other day. http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/traded-today-for-a-stihl-361.259780/#post-4875778 So I cannot get it to start. I cannot even get it to POP! Here is the laundry list: Compression is at 155 psi...

This tree is at my friends place. Is it a Pecan tree? The woodpeckers have worn it out!

I was looking through some wood that is waiting to be picked up and hauled to the dump (storm damage piled at the edge of the road), and I came across a log that at first glance looked like pine. It is not pine though. In the first picture, the pine log is on the right. Also, in the third...

This trimmer is about 9 years old. New plug, fuel lines, air filter, muffler is clear. She will only start with the throttle held down. She will come up to WOT no problem, and I can reduce speed if I am careful. When I let off completely she dies. No idle what so ever. The idle set screw...

I made a trade today for a Stihl MS361. It needs a magneto/coil and it should be running again. We will see. She is dusty, but looks good overall. I will test compression tomorrow. I have traded with this guy before, so I expect good results. I traded him a 30 year old Schrade "Golden Spike"...

Yall go easy on me....I am new to CAD and she has been a cruel mistress so far. :confused: So my neighbor's old 2450 needed new fuel lines and I volunteered to work on it. Nothing like experimenting with someone else chainsaw. :D I wanted to try porting a muffler and I figured this would be...

I got my little Echo project saw running today. It is running great, but I am getting no oil to the bar. If I have the cap open a tiny bit, oil will drip from the tube under the saw. The actual oiler is turning freely and seems to be working fine. I can blow air from the bottom of the saw...

I picked up a Honda mower a few weeks ago (for free). It needed a new gas tank ($30) and some TLC to get it purring again. Today I traded it for a Husky 359 that has been used very little. I am going to hopefully get her into some oak in a few hours. It is not a saw I would want to carry around...

I am trying to find a clutch assembly for a CS-310. I am having a bit of trouble finding used parts. Are there any crossover clutches (from other saws) that will work in this saw?

I was cutting a couple days ago with my SD116 and it was running great. All of a sudden it quit. It just throttled down and died. It would not start. So I put it up until today. Today I: I mixed fresh 50:1 fuel. Pulled plug - it was not fouled and looked dry. I am getting spark (see below)...

We dropped in a woodstove insert last year (Buck 74) and we love it. My old birdcage had a 4 sided pyramid style cap that was a bit too low and it trapped the smoke long enough to allow the creosote to condense and drip down on my roof. I have fixed the birdcage / cap issue, but I am left with a...
