    Yep, hard at work...

    Switch it up here and had 5" or rain in 1 hour. Sucks for wood outside as well as my clams and oysters. They'll be closed for the next two weeks.

    MS 361 not oiling

    Did you check the groove to see if the passage between the hole and chain was clear as well? I've had mine get hot when buried in oak as well, I picked up HO oiler for it. Maybe you would need to look into buying that as well.

    Which is your favorite saw for around the house?

    +1. Around the house it is limbs. I can get up in the tree and drop the crossovers etc. All I really need to do at the house. Next door neighbor would like the black walnut gone but hell no. I like the thing.

    is it just me or am i just a crippled up whimp

    Have to admit when working with a buddy who likes big saws I always grab the 200 and start at the tops. Don't have a 50, but can say I like working with the 361 more than the bigger ones most of the time. When it comes to a 24" white oak, sure grab a bigger saw but a soon as I run out of fuel...

    WHAT is it about chainsaws-?

    You're not destroying it because your bar is upside down. We all know that makes it run backwards and is giving it life not hurting it.

    ms200t How to remove carb and clutch

    Love mine but have broken 2 brake handles on the thing riding in the back of the truck. Make sure they don't roll or you will have the same issue. They are a great saw. You'll love it once back together. Post the pics.

    who makes the best diesel truck?

    The IFS is the deal breaker for me. I'll stick with my RAM or travel over to the Ford side.

    Oil pump upgrade, part 2 - the pump

    It was like 90 bucks. Cheaper to buy the parts to do it if you can take it apart yourself.

    am i the only one

    Those are what I look for to dig steamers near me. Just broke my last one. Save a few of them will you. Not worth more than .25.

    Oil pump upgrade, part 2 - the pump

    Don't post much but I miss lake. Great knowledge and very helpful with some harder to get parts on the east coast.

    Help Selecting A Firewood Saw

    If you can swing the cash the older 361 is the one I would consider. Great weight and plenty of power. Run all day long. Not in the first mix but take a look. Chad

    660 and 441 (user) recommended bar length

    I have a 36 for the 660 put run a 25 on it and surprisingly have a 28 on a solo 681. The stihl runs well with that and my other cutter has a 36 on his 660 so we work well together. I'll run the 660 for most butts and swap out to a smaller saw. If need be either other will be in place or the solo...

    Upgrades for a ms660??

    Use the 460 upgrade on the 361. Different pump. Works too well. Out of oil before gas.

    Upgrades for a ms660??

    Just an upgrade on the two parts. For the cost I can do it my self. I think they might have cost me 40 bucks give or take and the pump was about 90. In my 361 I don't keep it much above normal but at least I have it. With the 660 I've yet to show any burn on the chain so I am waiting to change...

    Upgrades for a ms660??

    Again, no the standard and the r are the same. The OZ version is a high output. As for the 460, that upgrade is different and will also work with the 361.

    Upgrades for a ms660??

    It is not the R model but the AU/NZ model that comes with the different pump. If you look at the IPL you can find the numbers for the other pump. I picked one up but haven't put the parts in yet. I forget where my guy had to get them from but I'm not sure if it was here in America. Chad

    upgrade from my 372XP

    The 372 is like a mean hornets nest but the 660 pulls with the best of them. Go with the two brand mix.
