So I'm having a real grub problem. Just dug up my dead front lawn to re-loam and reseed. Figured I'd find a few, but I found hundreds, maybe more when I dug up the old sod. I apply a grub killer at least twice per year. No idea how I got so infested, but I'm looking for advice. I've used Grub-ex...

The discussion here about chimney fires, and some recent news events got me wondering. Mostly I'm wondering about wood construction materials..... kiln dried framing, roof sheathing and such. Curious how hot a chimney needs to get before roof sheathing starts to burn. Also open to...

Looking to add a 550xp before Christmas. No doubt it will get MM'd fairly quickly. Debating on how to set it up from the get-go. I'm thinking for the sake of simplicity (buying chain, sharpening, etc.), I'd prefer to run a standard 3/8 chain, such as Oregon LGX or equivalent. Anyone doing it...

I'm going to make an offer to buy a neighbor's 359. He said he had it looked at by a local shop and the piston / cylinder are scored. He claimed it had an air leak between the case halves due to some work done to it previously by a different shop. Wondering what options are, if in fact the...

Got a few small knicks on it..... getting time for a sharpening. I'm concerned about removing any more of the teflon than I have to. I do not own the Fiskars axe sharpener. Anyone got any helpful hints / techniques ? :confused:

I'm looking at building my own stump grinder to run off the PTO on my 30 hp Kubota. I've seen a couple threads on grinders built by other tractor owners (on different forums), and think this will be within my capabilities. I already have some of the steel I'll need, a PTO shaft, etc. My...

Tragic........ Man Killed While Working On Tree - New Hampshire News Story - WMUR New Hampshire MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A man cutting trees was killed Tuesday when a tree he was working on shifted. Fire officials said the man was working in woods behind the area of Parkview and Hall...

After seeing other discussions here on big bore kits, woods ports , race builds, etc, it seems that there is plenty more to be had from stock, pro-grade saws. I realize stock cranks, rods, bearings and cases all have their limitations, but is the cost of boring and replating a cylinder the...

Looking for tips from you folks that are good at it. Seems every time I change out a broken handle, I can never get the head to stay tight like they do when you buy them new. Only old timer trick I picked up from my FIL was to soak the head in a bucket of water for days to make the wood...

Who's got T shirts / sweat shirts that are chainsaw / logging related ? Shirts that show a picture of muscle or vintage saws get extra credit !! :chainsawguy:

Don't know if this has been covered before. I'd be interested in seeing custom dawgs anyone has made for their saw. Bigger, smaller, stainless, lighter...... looking for ideas.

Probably a dumb question.... but can a chain brake be added to a 2100 :msp_confused: ? Perhaps a clutch cover off of a different, or later (2101 ??) saw would fit the 2100 ? Don't want to sound like a Nancyboy, but would always prefer a chain brake on any saw I run. Apologies if this has ever...

Been shopping around for a new 90+ cc saw lately. Check with the Stihl dealer on an MS660, and Husky dealer on a 390XP ......... both refuse to sell me a powerhead only. Is there some rule from the powers above that forbid them from selling saws without a B&C, or is this just a sham to get more...

I've been a truck nut since I was a kid. Please post up your log or lumber hauling truck pics. Extra points for vintage pics ! I'll start with a couple old scans of my (former) 359.

But I just lit my first fire of the season. Not terribly chilly, but its raining pretty good and I just felt like a fire tonight.
