forgive me, i haven't been on the forum in years, but i have done that same thing. If it's a special, then you should be ok, but one of the carbs usually doesn't flow enough...i believe the good one is a walbro, forgot the other manufacturer's name. also, there's a bunch of reviews on the kits...

was it me or did those pictures show removeable covers on the transfer ports?:biggrinbounce2:

slabbed a pecan that fell down in a tropical storm that was about 4 ft across at chest hieght. if i remember it was about 125 yrs old at that point.

2nd the test mule and 288xp deflector if anyone wants to try it.

Wish i could've been there for that. not too far away either. is your saw ported at all? i noticed you don't have an oiler on the end for the bar tip; have you ever had problems with lack of lubrication?

+1 for madsens and big bars

Time to laugh!!! first of all, i had hard time taking things apart since there aint a dealer around here. made my own flywheel puller, and took 2 hrs just to figure out how to get the case half off, but it was SO STUPID/REDNECK the way i did it, i had to take pictures and laugh...used the old...

makes since. i am so used to keeping the chain sharp, i never would've thought they would leave it dull, which it was....yeah, either way I now see it was my fault, either for screwing up the porting, which it ran fine for couple tanks in my hands, or an idiot for leaving it with them, even tho...

First of, nice to see everyone again, been gone for a while. i had a 365 special with ported big bore, and let some one borrow. they returned it they same day i left town and it was siezed.... anyways, it looks like the bearing went out, but wanted to see what ya'll thought. i can't...

from what i've run into, the best option is PEG/poly-ethylene-glycol(soak it for long time then dry it). i heard that old plantations would cut down trees then sink them to the bottom of their ponds for like 5 years then worry about drying them???not sure on specifics

LMAO!!!! just port it, that should take some of that heavy metal off....

OH YEAH, deffinantly running an auxilary oiler on the mill, but was wondering about a different oiler for regular cutting conditions..im sure its fine, but i always like to be on the safe side. actually, since the cuts i filmed were at the end of the day, and i left right after wards, i...

opening up of ports and bigger muffler outlet...upper transfers were agnled bit more to rear, but other wise untouched....it oiled pretty decent..but if i could get more out of it i would...oiler was maxed out.there woldn't happen to be a high output oiler somehow would there???? on th mill...

just becuase.. This weekend i went and milled and cut a pecan tree with a 60" cannon bar. first cut with the stihl super rapid i hit a nail within 30 seconds that tore sme of the cutters off, so from then on out i milled the topp half of the trunk, then cut som rounds out of the bottom half...

awesome work and pics! location and style thus far reminds me of the one aggiewoodbutcher built back when he moved. I know i wish i had one close to here, i have to finish milling this pecan that's probably about 150 yrs old then haul it back home another hr in the other direction( im in...

i just bought a 60" cannon bar for about $340 delivered to my house brand new....seems like better deal to me

except for breaking your hand while stating it, i say try a 2100. i have a muffler modded 2100cd, and it sounds like a beast from the bowls of hell....had a thin ring piston, but previous owner screwed up thin skirt too bad..still haqve the rings. guess that's good for somethng..anyways..i like...

haha..nah, your right bobl, especially wit the muffler modded. we had those little squishy ones in our ears, rated at 32 dB, and the dust didn't get really into my face as bad as i thouht..probably buy a clear shield for that tho.

links to some video..short..landowner was filming..get some better ones next time.. .http://s571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/buckdeaton/big%20pecan%20tree%20milling%20ms880/?action=view&current=millingpecan021-1.flv...

dont mean to steal thread, but thought id share some images of my first milling session with my t-wolf modified ms880...(60" bar with 8 pin sprocket..what a beast!!!!!!)...oh yeah..probably the biggest pecan i've ever seen down here... didn't get to finish do to weather and miss...
