Dad said "they said" it seized while running. So idk. I didn't even take the muffler off yet.

Hello all. Basically between me (industrial machine technician by trade and a hobby shop I play from) and my pappy (retired logger who sawmills for fun on his mixon and son of an in heaven retired logger) we have more saws than we need. Several others for parts. Mostly husky. Dads logging...

Husqy also says to soak your line in their pro trimmer manuals.

I use the 40 dollar saw blade sharpener from harbor freight. Works on all skill/ miter/ brush cutter blades. For blades on my 545 I use the husqy scarlett or the Kurt 36 tooth carbide. I used the forester chainsaw tooth one once and didn't like it very much. I have it on a shindaiwa now.

Big big Crack. Lol. I haven't seen the owner yet. I think it's scrap though. Plastic and a tank. I did remove the mud. Lol

Brake is good. Will work fine. Not pretty but not actually busted. Gas tank is also good. That's mud in the picture. How long would it take to melt down without those fins on the cylinder? He and my dad say it started and runs fine and the brake works. If it gets into rebuild he will just...

The piece under the shiny oiler cover is cracked. Pretty bad. If that's the crankcase rather than a piece that bolts on then it's likely junk. The owner will just buy another if it's much wrong. I wasnt there when it was dropped off and I glanced at it for 30 seconds. And part of that 30...

Muffler definitely. The piece on the side in around the clutch is ruined too . (Or is that the actual crankcase? May well be) What is that called. Looks like the front bar stud broke that piece. What handle/ body part will fit? 390 395? I know 372 doesn't. I have a few of those and 2 288 and...

Local excavator brought a busted 385xp (ran over it" still runs. What all is needed and what all models parts will fit.

Well that is the kind of things I hear from people who bring me saws to fix. "Ran good for about 2 minutes" or something like that. I wasn't aware that one (even a rare one) could make it a full tank of straight gas. Much less keep running after. Seems that sometimes one can. I always just...

I won't take it apart. And honestly it's a 200 dollar homeowner trimmer, probably couldn't rebuild it much cheaper than just getting her another one. I'm just surprised they can run that long after being straight gassed. I worry about making sure my oil is perfectly mixed. Lol. Me and dad are...

Anyone on here got away with straight gassing a weed eater or saw. Ive rebuilt saws and the owner generally says they locked up rather fast I ask because my mom straight gassed a stihl trimmer and ran a whole tank through it. Dad uses plain ol stihl oil. Mixes a 2 gallon mix in 1.9 (ish)...

For brush cutting I use the Oregon metal mesh hat/ muff/ screen. Cheap light and works well.

I have an early 550 that has cut 15-20 cord of hardwood a year since they first came out. Temps range from 0 to 80. Elevation from 2k to 6k feet. Any oil from Husqy to stihl to red armor and Lucas land and sea.. always on ethanol free 93 gas though. Mine still starts and runs just fine. Does...

I have a 545 and a 555 husqy. Either is likely overkill "IF" the trees are really under 2 inches. 460 and 560 stihl are the stihl equivalents. Definitely want the bike handles. If the brush is honestly 2 inches and under then a blade on a mid range machine would be fine. Stihl 131 or Husqy 336...

I called several places hunting a 460 or 560 stihl or a 545 or 555 Husqy brush cutter for a job. Some quoted over a year. And some said that as of march 2022, their saws that were due in January 2021 still hadn't come. Lol I did finally find the Husqy 545 and 555. Amazing cutting from a...

I may have answered years ago. But new saws have came and gone. We have 10 or so work saws, lot clearing and firewood being 95% of our work with 24 inch or bigger wood being 5% or less but not unheard of. We only have stihl and husqy saws. In use we have Maybe 5 Stihl 661 through 440 and one...

You only have to go back a far as you need.

In all fairness the only reason I took the picture was to send to my dad that e-0 was cheaper. That was right when gas shot up this year. Obviously they had refilled their other tanks and the e-0 was actually left over. I'm sure the next time they filled the tank it went back up higher than...

Nothing to do with taxes though. See the picture i posted. The e-0 93 is taxed just like the rest. I don't doubt that there are places where e-0 is unavailable. I know in some places 93 octane isn't
