    Fire Chief FC1000

    Does anyone here have any experience with the Fire Chief FC1000 furnace? I was thinking about getting one to replace our old US Stove 1500 but after looking around on another forum, it seems to have a lot of problems. Wanted to see if anyone else here has had the same experiences. TIA.

    511A Grinder - Improvements / Tweaks?

    I bought CBN wheels for mine not long after I got it quite a few years ago and have never looked back. I hope that I never have to use a "pink" wheel again. That's just my opinion and opinions are like armpits. It would be a sad world if everybody thought alike.

    How are the HF Predator engines working out ?

    I solved the low charging output by adding a one wire alternator from a vehicle with a belt drive on a 13hp Predator.

    Another hydraulic question

    I'm getting ready to build another splitter and am planning on using a 28gpm two stage pump. My question is does anyone use a suction strainer with a 28gpm pump? All of the strainers that I find for a 2" npt port in the tank are only rated up to 25gpm. I am considering welding a 3" port into the...

    562xp Hesitation Question

    Nope, if it's running like you want it to, run the snot out of it. When they start causing you more headache and money than they're worth, then throw the junk heap away.

    562xp Hesitation Question

    I have a friend that works for a tree service and has / had a 550 and fought hot start issues for over a year. The dealer kept telling him to try all sorts of stuff. Chanting incantations, doing the Hokie Pokie dance, all sorts of stupid stuff other than just pick it up and go. Last week he...

    562xp Hesitation Question

    You should come and deal with this POS of mine for a while then. You might change your mind. Only took a year and two saws to get it fixed the first time. I'm just tired of fighting it. It had became my "go to" saw until this last episode. When a piece of equipment starts becoming unreliable on...

    562xp Hesitation Question

    Sell the Husky's and have the 660 ported so it'll pull that 42" bar better.

    562xp Hesitation Question

    Thanks guys. I'll have to check it out and maybe try the choking idea sometime, even though it shouldn't be an issue.

    You don't happen to have a link to the vapor lock thread do you?

    562xp Hesitation Question

    Here I go again. Hot or cold, doesn't matter. I finally got the cold hesitation problem fixed by having the carb replaced with an EL 44. Well, mostly fixed. Still has a slight hesitation in cold weather but it's tolerable. About a month ago, I was sawing in high 80 degree temperatures and...

    MS660 oil pump adjustment

    My email notification must not be working again, I just got around to seeing this. Thanks Magnumitis for the link. I'll be doing that soon. I had to use the 660 as it is last Thursday and Friday and yes, the oiler puts out no where near enough oil for a 42" bar, especially in hardwood. Had an...

    Bandit 60 anvil spacing

    I just bought a well used Bandit 60 chipper and put new knives in it. Does anybody know how much clearance the anvil is supposed to have? I've had an an email into Bandit for a week now with no reply yet. Thanks in advance.

    MS660 oil pump adjustment

    I have a 2010 MS660 that usually wears a 32" bar but I've got a big job coming up next week that's going to need the 42" bar. After putting the big bar on, I flipped the saw over to make sure the oiler adjustment was wide open. The screw slot was pointing at the "E" which I assume stands for Eco...

    511A Grinder - Improvements / Tweaks?

    If you'll bring that battery up to 15.0-15.5 volts very slowly then hold it there for about an hour then slowly bring it back down to to about 13.5 and hold it there, there's a good chance that it may come back to life. You need to boil it to 1) remix the acid and water that has separated...

    511A Grinder - Improvements / Tweaks?

    That's the reason for using a battery isolator. I can run the extra battery dead if need be and not affect the starting battery. I don't have an actual battery isolator, I'm using a 500 amp relay wired to the ignition switch. Whenever the switch is on, the extra battery is connected to the main...

    511A Grinder - Improvements / Tweaks?

    I do it all of the time. I have a 3000 watt modified sine wave inverter mounted in the tool box on the truck with an auxiliary battery that's charged through a battery isolator. I also have a vice that mounts in the receiver hitch that the grinder gets clamped in. The grinder doesn't need any...

    028 points

    I was recently given an 028WB in great shape. Cleaned it up some and it ran like it was new. Does anyone know where I can get a spare set of points and condenser for this saw and the setting cam. I want to keep the points and not change it over to electronic for multiple reasons, one is just for...

    Separator grate

    I'm getting ready to build a separator grate to go on the top end of the firewood conveyor. Does anybody have any thoughts on the spacing of the bars for the grates? I was thinking about 2".
