I'm looking for a wrap handle for my 462 and a Stihl 28" light in .050 gauge. Let me know if you have anything.

What does it smell like? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Curious how the 500i would handle the dirty cutting in burned wildfire conditions and how the air filtration holds up vs the 462. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Well I checked with a bunch of different Stihl dealers, nobody had any in stock. I ordered a loop of 27ax and it's been pretty good!

I think newest oregon is 27AX. Not sure about older versions. I could do semi skip but I am trying to avoid full comp. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Anyone have some. Looking for 123DL or a small reel. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Hahaha wow. It's upset that it wasn't maintained and got eaten up by carpenter ants. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Ok, - I swapped back to .325 and greased the bearing - Tightened a few handle screws that were a little loose, checked the muffler screws - they were fine - I put some extra grease under the stamped washer before I put the e-clip back in I just ran it for half an hour and it seems to not...

It's a mini spline with that stamped steel washer, which I'm leaning towards right now. :shrug Here's an older post with same sounds. https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/ms-261-noisy-when-working-hard.231588/

Yes, hardly any wear. I'll see if I can grab some pictures tomorrow. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Both bars are newer and nothing wrong with them. I can't imagine it would be the muffler but I'll double check. It feels definitely like the clutch or sprocket. Metal rattle and only when loaded pretty good. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I have a MS261 M-Tronic and can't figure out the noise it makes when loaded up in a cut sometimes. It sounds "chattery" - I don't know how to describe it but it's not a pleasant sound - sort of a click/ratchety chatter. Just pulled the sprocket and the bearing is great, still has grease from...

This was a standing alive red oak that was hit by lightning probably 15 years ago. Had lots of carpenter ant damage and the top finally fell out of it so I cut it down and split all the wood. This was last fall. I do have oak wilt in the area and have had some trees die because of it. I'm...

Didn't realize the Germans made a 572! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I'm curious why anyone would part with a 462!!!? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Y'all are a rough crowd! I have a 261 m tronic and a new 462 and a handful of other saws and I STILL want a 362!!! Hahahaha!!! 28" might as well get a real torque saw anyways! Bahahaha Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Alright, I finally measured the slot on the bar. It's no 14mm, it's .512" (only have a dial standard caliper) - so 13mm!!??!?!?! wtf

I haven't used much square lately and not sure I want to dedicate that much to it. Maybe... I'm surprised it cuts smoother for you. So the fresh grind on the Archer Semi Chisel and rakers lowered started out great! Until I found a t-post laying on the ground in the pile. Spent some time...

So yea, tell me what you like for dirty old wood.
