two free saws in a week!!! i was given an 031 today! it feels like the recoil isn't catching the flywheel, but that is as far as i have gotten. this one hasn't jumped the que so may take a while to get to.

i hadn't noticed the crack but had put a new clutch on the list.

prognosis is good for the 288. the top end has transfer but no actual scoring i can see/feel and the bottom end feels tight and smooth. it will still need to come apart as i managed to drop an amazing amount of grot/wasp nest into the bottem end. it won't be tackled straight away but has been...

my saws would have to count as a hoard not a collection as there is no theme to it. unless you count "decent quality saws that i can pick up cheap" or "not running yet" as a theme. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😢😢😢

i was at the local tip and spotted this sitting next to the staff tea room. obviously i had to check it out. one of the guys who works there saved it and a 61 hardwood (blacktop) from the metal bin. the 61 ran so he's keeping it. this he gave me! made my day.

free 032. :D compression feels ok, haven't had a chance to tinker further, yet.

doesn't appear too.

Stihl 08S with chain brake, from the local tip shop (dump shop in the US). $46US at the current exchange rate. Feels like it has decent compression, haven't tried for spark yet, older stihl rollermatic "west germany" bar with some paint on it. Needs the choke knob. A Stihl 08 wasn't on my saw...

If you want more, send it and a wad of pineapples to sean griggs in tassie for some love.

I like husqvarnas but votes to keep the 034S for a couple of reasons. From the sounds of it you don't "need" either so it can be a decision made solely on emotional factors, hence: You have another 562. Your collection will be more varied with the 034S in it. 0 series professional stihls are...

I'd just keep them all. :D A thought though if you are likely to use then a fair bit in the future. I'm planning on keeping all my work saws on one type of chain, if possible. 3/8th .058 for mine, so once I've worn out the chains i have, i can buy 1 roll of chain and make up loops for all of...

I have yet to get my new Tsumara bar in wood but i heard so much good stuff about Tsumara (and Sugihara) lightweight bars that i paid the extra and went with one over a new tip on my std weight Oregon. If you were in Australia I'd recommend the guy i got mine from, Matt Ward. Really friendly...

Few minutes! Were you planning on doing it twice!

The friend who got me into firewood and chainsaws is a she. She'll run a 661 for hours, drives the trucks, runs the excavator, loves hand splitting etc. I'm 6'1" and do manual work every day but can't come close to keeping up with her. She can also be super girly when she wants to. She...

All good Tom, no apologies needed here. :D

Cool. I've never been to the south island. I really liked the north island, it is beautiful and i met a lot of nice people there. A swap it is then, you can all of ours... but we don't want em back when you get sick of them. :D Pauline is now in the senate, still saying things that piss...

The 8th wonder of the world, Bob? Is that a politician in charge that, for the most part, gives a crap about the people of her country and actually makes decisions to thier benefit. :D (I'm taking a shot at our politicians here... )

I'm far from an expert on this, but i would be worried as you didn't grind back the rot to clean metal before filling it with jb weld. I hope I'm wrong... only time will tell.

Hey tom, are you a member of chainsaws australia on facebook? There is an 064 fs there that needs some love and might be fun to tinker with. New big saws are cool but big saws that start with "0" are cooler. (Well as cool as a stihl can get anyway) :D

I did try to start a conversation but it came up with "you cannot start a comversation with that person" As far as crucifying me... in an open conversation meant to share thoughts without right or wrong judgement it is not possible. You have got me really intrigued now, you obviously have...
