I was was just watching an old episode of Gunsmoke. The actor was sawing away with a bow saw on a sawbuck. There was no log on the sawbuck. He was sawing away at one of the sawbuck legs, big crossed 4×4's. Those boobs not only never cut a piece of fire wood. They don't even know somebody that...

Try an Alden Grabit extractor if there is enough left. They only need a shallow depression to grab. I have pulled out badly rusted screws that I never thought would move. I think Lowes has them. They are double ended. There is a stubby left hand drill bit on one end to drill a very shallow hole...

From the ad, it sounds like men were intended to use these saws to show their support rather than gift them to women who can handle a chainsaw. I think I would rather just make a donation. LOL!! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I bought a refurb Husky 450 and dreaded having to start it. It is my first saw It took countless pulls. I thought it was me doing something wrong. Eventually I clogged the carb with ethanol after letting it sit. After hearing what the dealer wanted, to fix it, I took the carb apart, cleaned it...

I know this has been discussed before and like many here I liked the DTI 20TT and I was seriously considering buying one. Then I found the GTC TA100. On paper it looks much better for about the same money. For starts, it has a multiline display that shows min or max along with current speed...

Hooray!! I got the #/%=÷ stump out. I found that most of the roots are horizontal and the big tap root i was expecting to find was not there. I kept digging under it. A more effective approach would have been to buy a big tamper ( pole axe) and go straight down all the way around the stump...

In suburban NJ rooting pigs are not too common but I like your idea, and the chickens, too. LOL!! I have a small pry bar and with a dead blow hammer it goes pretty easy into the root ball in spite of the bar being short, curved and narrow. It looks like the 48" Bully tamper with a 3" wide blade...

Have you tried the various online sites that advertise large stocks of Simplicity parts? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I cut down a Big shrub with loppers and chainsaw and am now left with a stump of stubbs that must be a couple of feet across. I have attacked it with a shovel, cut big roots with the loppers but I am not making good progress. I went online and see suggestions to use a sawzall with a pruning...

Based on what I read here, I went with the Husky that is the corresponding model to the top of the line Red Max. By all accounts, the only difference, besides the color, is the harness. The back pad design is quite different. I read that the Husky was more comfortable and after trying both, I...

While we are on the subject, Truefuel comes 40:1 and 50:1. My old Red Max string trimmer calls for 32:1. I have always used pump gas, 2 cycle oil and Stabil and did not have problems but after my Husky chain saw got gummed up, I have decided to feed my tools a better diet. My usage is low...

I just cleaned up a Zama carb on my Husqvarna. The shop manual suggests 2 turns as the starting point for both needles. The OP started at 11/2 so you may well be right. I fiddled with mine until it idled after having to return to 2 a couple of times to get it started. I am not sure where I am...

I think there are something like 10 or 15 brands in the Husqvarna group; Husqvarna, Red Max, Poulan, Dixon, Roper, Jonserd, off the top of my head. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

It was a recon and was always hard to start. After the winter, fuhdedaboudit. After I pulled the carb and flushed it out with Gumout it starts in 2 pulls. Bring on the Stihls.i also switched to alcohol free premix with the "Stabil" already in there. It is a ripoff but I am a very occasional...

Isn't the clutch centrifugal? At idle it is barely engaged and there is very little coupling between the motor and the chain. If you put the brake on, the clutch easily slips. At high speed the clutch is solidly engaged and if you hit the chain brake, the stopped chain stalls the motor, as it is...

If that was the Georgia plant, it is not due to shut down until next year. I could see them still going strong, now. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

https://wgxa.tv/news/local/husqvarna-facility-in-telfair-county-closing-in-2019 The jist of the article is that the brand is under performing and they are are switching to robotic lawn mowers and electric tools. Does that mean that Hudqvarna/Red Max gas chain saws, string trimmers, etc. will...

Thanks. My string trimmer is not a model with the bicycle handles and it came with the simple shoulder strap. I imagine it can get away from you pretty quick with a saw blade. I see there are other blades with a lot if teeth, like 80. How does that behave compared to a chain saw tooth design? I...

I must live in a bubble but I just noticed that there are saw blades you can put on a weed whacker and cut pretty big stuff, that I would have cut with with pruning shears or my chain saw. I have an old but super reliable RedMax weed whacker fom when Komatsu owned Red Max. Any blade suggestions...

After my second go round with the spray can and scraping the nest remnants from under the rail, I had a few stragglers around for a few days and then they were all gone. I have concluded they were just bees. African? Who knows. It took a while for the bite marks to completely disappear. We have...
