    Only Ash???

    Yesterday a neighbor enlisted me to cut up a bunch of limbs that had broken off in the latest ice storm. One of the trees that was damaged was a Bradford Pear. While splitting the larger pieces with my splitter last evening I noticed the trunk was riddled with what looks exactly like EAB holes...

    Seafoam Believer!!!

    I have never been an advocate of ANY of the "mechanic in a bottle" products but I have to tell you I'm amazed "SeaFoam". I have a 99 Dodge 2500 with the Cummins diesel and it has just been a great truck in every way. A year or so ago, it began to "chug chug" when accelerating from very low...

    Anyone have any idea why this saw seized???

    I think this might have something to do with it. Another tooth I sold this saw to a friends brother. It was a great running 55 Husky with a closed port cylinder:msp_mad: Andyshine77 and I ran it when we delivered it and it was awesome. I'm not gonna fix this one on my dime...

    So what did you get for Christmas that was chainsaw related?

    Just like the title says. Tell everyone what Santa brought you that was chainsaw related. I got a new wheelbarrow to haul my my wood in a few parts for my project saws and some warm clothes to cut in. Mike

    I just can't figure it out!!!

    If I live to be 500 I don't think I'll ever figure out what I've ever done that was good enough to warrant the plethora of fantastic friends that God has sent into my life! I came home from work yesterday and there was a box on my front porch. That isn't an unusual occurrence but this box was...

    O.K. Guys...What caused this???

    I picked up this 039 the other day cheap to play around with the porting. When I pulled the cylinder, I found the piston looked like this. What caused it??? Mike

    What would you pay.....?

    For a gallon of pre-mixed 89 octane, fully synthetic, 40:1, guaranteed non ethanol mix with a guaranteed 2 year shelf life?? I have seen the quarts but they are outrageously high and was thinking if the volume was bigger maybe the per quart price would be lower. Would you pay $10.00 ...

    Virgin Voyage

    While I was visiting with Modified Mark this weekend we took the 9010 Dolmar on its maiden voyage. Mark being the host, I let him put the Dolmar beast in the wood for the very first time. Needless to say we were impressed at the power and smoothness of this saw. The video is of it cutting a...

    Diesel Fitter.........

    Doing a bit of surgery to remove an oiler from a parts saw today and found this. Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm no Modified Mark but I've seen a few bar mounts in my day. But this is the dangest thing I've ever seen. I just couldn't help but think about the old joke about the...

    Poor Mans 346???

    Well, Like everyone else I have admired the Husky 346 for some time now. I have tried to run as many as I could get my hands on to see if I really wanted to go over to the "Dark Side" or not. The Husky doesn't feel as good in my hands as my 5100, but it is definately a runner after being...

    Took Forever, but I finally broke 100

    I didn't think I was ever going to get the previous owner to price that old junk 084 he had sitting in the corner in a box. When He did finally price it I thought I was never going to get the $$$ saved up. Every time I would start to get close something else would appear that was more pressing...

    Is .024 even worth the bother

    I've been wanting to see just how well a 3400 could be made to run without going the "full Monte". I figured a decent port job, popup and cylinder shave for starters. The perfect candidate arrived this week thanks to ModifiedMark and the transformation began today. The piston and cylinder...

    Unusual Gear Drive Saw

    I picked this up yesterday from a friend cleaning out his shop. I've never seen anything like it before and there is very little info about it. It is an O&R 1hp. It was covered in a dozen layers of garage crud but I think it will clean up pretty well. I checked it last night and it had...

    Ported a 142 Husky today

    One of the guys I work with does tree work on the side. His 142 Husky was pretty sad and I let him use my ported 401 Dolmar. He couldn't believe the difference, and asked me to make his 142 run like my 401. I ported it today and put a new carb on it for him. The chain was TERRIBLE. It was...
