Naw, they're smaller than that. The holes are all curvy.

Went out and checked and the pieces that had the worms were at the bottom of the pile. I wasn't going to dismantle the entire thing to look. But looks like they weren't EAB. Thanks all.

ah. ok. That's good to know- maybe. But yea, these things were waaaaaay into the wood. right in the center of a 12" diameter piece of wood.

I'll see about grabbing one tomorrow. There's about half a cord of wood and I started off with the stuff that had the larvae in it so it might be on the bottom. Can't recall. I'll head out tomorrow and see what it looks like.

Far north New England. Didn't notice anything on the bark. Just the little entry (exit?) holes in the bark. The larvae are dead nuts into the center of the wood. I keep the wood in these things (now completed) The bug bomb idea might not be bad. I just don't want to keep stack and next...

Business down the road from me took down two trees. I don't know my woods, all I know is its not pine so I'll use it for firewood. The guy took the trees down and bucked it up for me. I loaded up the truck. Brought it home and started to split it. Man, there are larvae all in it. Must be a...

Wow, I didn't think I'd be losing 6". huh. The larger trees I have are 20" or so. Looks like I'll have to go with a 28" bar then. And when you say you'd suggest skip, you mean not bother? And as for the auxiliary oiler, I was looking to do these in 10' lengths or so. The oiler necessary for...

I'll be ordering a Granberg setup once I know which size I need. I've got a 372xp with a 24" bar. Going to order a Granberg 30" mill. Is it worth the ~$150 to up to a 28" bar?

holy ****. this thread took off. :laugh: I used the saw this weekend, and it was giving me issues. I turned up the idle about a quarter turn. Ran....better, but still acting odd. I'll have to yank the carb and give it a go through.

Yesterday? Eh, 70s. Had it running in hot weather before with no fuss. It was a hard start on the first pull too. Had it running for 30m on and off as I limbed a down tree. Each time it was difficult to restart. No change from the first pull to the fiftieth. Ordered a tune up kit. New filter...

I thought that too, but it was always fine before. First time the issue has come up.

oh ****, really? well, at least it isn't oil. XD

yea, the stuff I used is fresh. I'm always gassing up crap. Actually, the old 93 I was using was really old; like, several months. This 87 isn't anymore than two weeks. Could just be the carb needs to be gone through. the gas up could be just poor timing.

Husky 450. Never had an issue. Always ran great. Started on the second pull. This weekend clearing trees, fired up the saw and went fine. Gassed up and continued. Was fine for a bit, then it became hard to start. I had to keep yanking the cord to get it to go. And then after a revving it, if I...

yea, I'll just grab another set of files. I don't use the 372 very often, so this is the first time I had to think about files.

cool beans. pitch doesn't matter with the file then, correct?

yea, I made another mistake. Its a 450. Not a 455. So that's the 3/16 file. So I did buy the correct files for that saw. The 372 is going to take the 7/32 files. I should probably just delete this thread and start again, haha.

450**** that's my bad. I'm at the office and forgot which saw it was. Looked up the pic. Its a 450, not a 455. Hi. I'm stupid. Need to sharpen the chain on the 372. I have a box of files I bought for the 450 (not the Rancher if that matters). Can I use the same files...

ah ha, I gotcha. was going to say, 150 cord is MOVING! haha

holy ****. I'm looking at, like, twenty. maybe a bit more if I start selling off some wood. Eh, looks like I'll stick with the Husky and TSC splitter. My good friend said it best, I don't see the value, but I do see the benefit. Looks like its more of a nice thing to have. If I were doing...
