I still have an ole PM605 that runs like a top..

You must of just unboxed that one eh Steve? Talk about mint! :) Pete

My first power saw is a PM605 McCulloch, still going strong. Nic named Precious. :)

Awesome fab skills Man! :)

Any more gains in the MS462? :)

I usually clean after each use so my saws don't get real grimed up, compressed air, paint brush, degreaser , old tooth brush, finish with a liquid auto detail spray, makes cleaning up the next time much easier.

Good Luck James! I'm sure they will get you taken care of. Pete

+1 On that bar oiler holes being on the small side I have only had a my MS462 for a short while now but noticed on the 20 " and 25" bars ran on the warm side and the chain when rotated by hand was on the loud side. After squirting a couple of drops of oil in the bar it quieted right down. After...

At least the chain isn't stopping like the ops

Looks like that one is performing great!

Thanks Philbert, I'll put than in the ole memory bank.

Agreed, we found at least with bike chains using a thinner allowed the oil to better penetrate the links. I'm going to give acetone and chain oil a go, might as well use the same oil that goes into the saw.

Lots of good info in this thread Philbert, I picked up a gallon of that Super clean the other day and tried it out on a chain that was pretty filthy, it did a great job cleaning all the built up gunk that was on it. I sharpened the chain then soaked it in a homebrew mix of 75-90 w, 30 w, and...

What's up Moto!? I should have known that you were on this forum with all the milling you have been doing. :) This is PGK from weldingweb, I may have to pick your brain on possibly getting into some small scale milling, didn't mean to hijack this thread. I hope James gets his 362 figured out.. Pete

I forgot what forum I was on but a couple of weeks ago I had read where a guy had three or four MS462's and the first one he said took 25 tanks for the saw to fully break in which sounded a long time for any motor. The others broke in much quicker, in the end they all ended up running the same...

I bought a PM605 back in 1991 only because my local dealer told me this is the saw you want, LOL still have and it runs great. It's nic name is Precious, it's not that loud but we do have a old as the hills Homelite saw that is the loudest chain saw I've ever used! ear plugs and muffs!! hahaha

Hopefully the second dealer you took your saw to will to a trade up for you, I picked up a 462 a few weeks ago. First new saw I had purchased in 25 years LOL I still have my old PM605 that runs like a top, the first thing I noticed when using the 462 is the way the new saws must be ported...
