Time to think about this year and what you would like to plant or do different, etc. Jump in and talk to us!! New year, new garden!!! LOL!

Noticed the 170 oil flow to the chain slowed way down. Is there a setting on them? In a hurry out in the boonies and didnt want to tear into it out there. I love the saw for knocking off smaller limbs and been using the hell out of it for that. Bought it on auction and know nothing about it...

Ignition module on my 210 died so like a dummy I order one off the internet AND it dont fit! go figure! After and accidental stumble upon one ad,--it says their module does NOT fit ez start saws! WAAAAA??? -- guess the 210, 250, etc. with ez ztart crap on them use all different parts from...

got a lot cut up today. This is part of it , got about that much more in the shed. I just cut random stuff,--some long some short' I like the short stuff better cause it has more good straight grain in it. The big stuff has interesting knots in it which has uses too. Have another load of logs to...

These things are expensive, so I made a crude one that works as good as the fancy ones do! The handle is a seasoned hickory limb and the rest was scrounged from the scrap pile.

made a short vid. Not the best with el- cheepo camera!

After you guys got me headed in the right direction and more research, you are right it actually is a 041 Farm Boss. I tracked down some of the part #'s and all led to 041, so I ordered a carb kit for it along with one for my Homie 290.---we see what happens! lol! and thanks for the help!

O.k.,-- I just bought a couple saws at an auction and one is an Echo 452vl,-- got that figured out, the other one with it is a monster sthil with the tag worn off. It tries to run,--probably only needs a carb kit. Here are som pics of it.It looks to say Farm boss on the bottom of the tag but...

Bought this one from an auction and it started right up and ran for a few mins. and sounded like carb needed adjusted, so while in the process of doing that it just died never to fire again! lol! Anyway I hung the old spark tester on the plug and nuttin! --- guess it has a dead ignition module...

Bought this 251 at an auction and its history. sprocket bearing is out and plastic burned but still usable, paint burned off the bar, gas is fresh but smells weird! I never smelled gas like that before so have no idea what they had in it. Motor turns over but really stiff and from a half azzed...

Just bought an 025, ( ya I know I'm not a Sthil fan,--LOL!) and it acts like a decent saw. VERY hard to start the first time but that was due to it sitting for who knows how long. It starts after 1 pull choke on then next pull choke off since I have reset the carb and did a bit of cutting with...

Ya, shorten a 14 or 16" bar down to 6, 8 or 10 max for trimming branches off logs. 6 or 8 would be the best. I dont need all that extra bar sticking out and wearing on the chains, plus hitting stuff on the other side. I want to take 1 small saw, shorten the bar and use it only for cutting limbs...

Are they any good? --- I was offered a new one in the box for a decent price and might be tempted. The main thing holding me back is the bad deal I had with my new MS 250 that I FINALLY had to fix myself. 6 Stihl dealers around here CLAIMED there was nothing wrong with it when it was a factory...

Anybody have a copy of the parts and service manuals for these? I have no idea of the serial # since the hitch tag is damaged. Just bought it and needing a drive belt too in the near future. Right now the new starter/sol./and switch are not working either. Kinda wanted a wiring diagram so I...

Anybody thinking about the upcoming garden season? Plans? bigger smaller, same size plots? Any change in crops or crop varieties? How about equipment? We plan on the same 4.5+ acre garden this year but will have more different varieties than last year. Prostate cancer last year really slowed me...

anybody make horseradish?--or even like it?---- made some last night and got 6 half pint jars from plants in pix.

Finally got a chance to make 2 cuts with the Granberg and the 8000.--I was somewhat pleased with the job,-- lots harder than bandmill, BUT gotta slab it down first to fit! the unit after the second cut Back corner view face of the log Another face view This is the maple log that I...

Well,--- Since China grabbed Homelite the current production models are nothing like the old ones.--- Any way, I got this one , supposed to have been good,--BUT ebay listings are a BIG gamble! --( I lost big on this one)! LOL!!! exhaust side of piston Intake side top of piston the bottom...
