I transmitted all this info. If he finds some, I might ask for details to make my own (I have a forge). maybe epoxy resin covered with coarse sand could create a grip (I did that on a skateboard when I was a kid).

Thanks for all this info. I'm off to work right now but I'll look this up when I get home tonight.

On an other forum (Bushcraft), someone asked where he could buy Springboards. I thought you guys could maybe help him out... It also got me thinking: making some could be a fun project (I've always wanted to try). can any of you provide info on making the metal brackets that go on the end of a...

I don't know about meteor kits but my 044 with a NWP 046 BB (muffler modded, 8 tooth sprocket and 24" bar) still works fine (since 2011). Note that it is not the saw I use daily: It is a personal saw and I have plenty of others for work. My modded saw is a "Fun saw". For daily work, I stick with...

He died doing what he loved, that is indeed what I believe and what I kept on saying. Almost 6 months now, and there is not one day we don't talk about him. Still painful today. We have 35 employees but he was the cornerstone. Keeping this thread on the web is a way, for me, to honor him. Still...

C'est bien dommage: depuis que j'ai quitté Montréal, ma vie pro a bien évolue et je suis désormais, entre autres, formateur en élagage et bucheronnage mais... en France... J'ai toutefois déjà eut des salariés qui m'ont demandé comment faire pour aller travailler au Canada. Si jamais j'en ai un...

I wanted to share this amongst fellow arborists. A week ago, one of my employees/friends died on the work site, of a heart attack. 64 years old Louis had been working since the age of 12. He lived for his job, never counting his hours, staying after work and even coming to help on his days off...

I've been there.. I was lucky the clutch survived. I only had to get a new brake band... I could add checking carb screws when you receive a used saw. I once received a neat Jred 670 and wanted to try it ASAP. I was amazed to see how well it cut. Should have noticed earlier it was lean...

I went back to the beginning of the thread and checked: a few newbies but not that many. Thank god there are plenty of fine Stihl dealers. There are also several poor dealers. In my town, the new owner of the closest Stihl dealer is someone I know really well. I have been in business with him...

That's almost 2 days worth of heat in my old stone uninsulated house but 8 to 10 days in the highly energy efficient cabin I am finishing on my land. Experience has proven that insulation is the master word.

If SawTroll tells you to buy a Stihl (!!!), do it! Seriously, I sold two last year and, even though they were beaten up (Years of professional use), they went for far more. Great all-around saw.

We often cut dirty wood (riverbank management) and RM chains work fine. As for the gauge debate, .063 is what everybody uses on stihl saws around here (SE France) but I couldn't really argue about technical advantages. We also have a few huskys using .058 chains. No issues with oiling. All I...

PPK two man saw and Stihl Contra in the living room, 16 old saws on display in the staircase but none in the bedroom. Work saws stay in the workshop.

I just got used to it... When possible, I walk in with the part number. If I don't have the part number, I go straight to their computer and look it up (they finally realized I was better than them at looking it up). I also got used to the fact they have nothing in stock. Even files are on...

I was hanging out at one of our local Stihl dealer last week (picking up parts and testing the new owners). They thought that if the quarter turn clips holding the top cover (Ms 261, 362...) were black, it meant it was an M-Tronic! At least, they did listen to me when I told them only the C...

Both are really expensive here. We negotiated a good price on Aspen buying it by 200L barrels (best deal is for 2 barrels at a time). We also use Aspen Bio chain oil (some big customers asked for it). I am not yet convinced by the chain oil. It doesn't lubricate as well as the Q8 oil we used...

I didn't say it smelled bad. It just took me some time to get used to it, after using pump gas for the last 20 years. It does smell better than motomix.

Had to switch to Aspen 2 this year. Burnt 600 Liters so far, works fine once you get used to the smell (smells like burning plastic).

I just saw this ad: eBay | Rare vintage saucy french ashtray 70s STIHL Chainsaw Adv Sexy Viking Girl Risque Just curious to know how much people in the states are ready to pay for it. There were several different models manufactured in France (I have all of them) and they are easy to find...
