Fellow who cuts with me wants to create a trade with a nice clean 064 for a 660 or 066. He runs 390s but wants to give a 660 a solid try and doesn't need the 064. I'll try and field any questions or thoughts. Its a fine 064 and a deal could be negotiated. Thanks.

As has been well discussed, cut a lot, bars wear out. I now have a few Cannon Superbars that the rails are spread out and won't cut any more, not to mention all the Oregons. After seeing these beautiful bar shops, what is the real possibility to get a bar back into form that is worth the...

Hi folks, I am looking for a 660 crankcase. Thank you.

Anybody have any knowledge of performance or capability of a 6x6 haul truck, used primarily as a prehauler with loader mounted at back of log bunk, 22' longest pieces. Like an Osh Kosh? Not talking deuce and a half, a real heavy hauler. Thanks.

help wanted-more wood! Well folks, the fact is, i need help getting more wood on the ground (i.e. timberfaller). In addition to the SUPER DUDE I am hoping to have join me and my endeavors (you know who you are!), I need more help. Whether its someone shut down for fire who wants to try some...

This is from the great poet Gary Snyder, I was having a look around for something. This is too good. Smokey the Bear Sutra Once in the Jurassic about 150 million years ago, the Great Sun Buddha in this corner of the Infinite Void gave a Discourse to all the assembled elements and...

Hey folks, I have 2 calk receptacles (in the boot, can you let me not use the anatomy reference?) that are stripped. They were holding calks without me being aware that there was a problem but I can see it now that they're out, and new ones will kind of thread in but will not bite and get...

I am curious what some of you do for saw maintenance, daily and weekly. I suspect some answers may be "throw in the bed of the truck and see you in the morning" I myself will at least, on a daily basis, clean the bar groove, throw on a good chain, and go ahead and clean out the gunk inside...

I just want to say, as Burv has pointed out many a time. I need a grinder. I'd say one of the biggest annoyances in my life is filing new chains. Square chisel. Just to install my cut in the side plate, get the angles and edges nice and clean..... ARGH. I can slip through a number of...

Hi. I am looking for a source of firewood for my 71 y.o. dad who's favorite exercise is splitting wood. The need and the logistics and the deal is all negotiable, but he is a great fellow who just moved down south from way up north and I want to find him a place to split and good wood to...

Can anyone tell me which model husky muffler port it is I want to tack on to my 660 dual port to triple port it? Thanks

I wanna a real logger boot with a big ol' heel, what gives??? Just kidding. Does anyone have any first or second hand info for working steep ground falling timber (brush work counts, even cruising timber!) in either HOFFMAN UNINSULATED PAC CALKS or XTRA TUFF INSULATED CALKS? Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen, I enjoy AS, mostly talking felling and all in the F&L section. I heat with wood. I've heated with wood for about 12 years. For the last 5 years I guess you could say my wife has too. In a few months someone else , a new quite young fellow will be joining us, in...

Is there a correlation between stump shot and eliminating butt log fiber pull? Any other advantages, other than the anti-kickback effect?

So, the face shield, beyond the obvious fashion shortfalls, also has functional shortfalls. I'm interested in giving glasses another shot. The fog, and the sweat drips falling on them or running down them always made me go back to the face screen. After years of the screen, I'm too used...

I was thinking about how I tend to emphasize a "get out of there, then look up" routine where some of you west coasters emphasize visual over distance. (think moderately closed canopy selective felling situation) And I thought about why, because ya'll know whats up and I think I know whats up...

Red and i spent Wed. and Thurs. cutting a very diffuclt SMZ to open a stand up so when everyone gets in there it'll be wide open for the falling. Tough falling, extremely steep down in there- periodic 10-12 foot cliffs too, and the 8 or so inches of snow on the ground doesn't help for your...

another pair of boots, and these are rolling out too. Really just the right one. I went with the spring heel, which I way prefer. Yes, i work steep ground all the time, and rolled out boots are common. But, I hate it, especially once I'm walking on flat. Its hard on the boots and my...

Question from lunch- What's in our 8 ton counterweights?
