I have two quick questions/ 1. What does the designation AV mean in a model number? 2. What information is available to decipher a Stihl serial number? Thank You In Advance

Can someone identify my saw. I just bought a Stihl at an auction. It is missing all the identifying marks except for the serial number which is 5055612. It looks like it could be an 041 by just not sure. Thanks For The Help.

I am looking for a Stihl 046 parts saw or just some parts for a 046. I need the air intake flange, filter cover, and filter. I also need the side chain cover. If anyone can help I sure would appreciate it. Thanks

No notch. Tree must fall in its natural direction. Cut through until tree starts to sit on bar. Then start boring cuts until 3/4 way through tree. The tree will sit on itself. Then start the felling cut on opposite side and about 2" above first cut.

Can anyone explain the proper way to fell a tree using the flush cut method. Thanks

The mill I use would give about $1000.00 for that log

I thought I knew, but the more I think about it, I am not sure anymore. Will someone tell me how to determine a right hand cutter from a left hand cutter on a saw chain. Do you look from the powerhead or from the bar tip. Thanks

I also would be interested in air drying come lumber. I have some pecan trees that I can have cut into lumber at the local sawmill for .20 a board foot. This would be for my personal use. Does anyone have any recommendations for air drying this lumber or a reference on the right way to do this...

It sure is. It looks exactly like the wood I split. I was about 20" in diameter, is very light and splits very easily. Thank You, Your pictures look right on. Thanks

I planted ten hickory trees two years ago from nuts. They are now about 4 feet tall and 1/4 to 3/8 in diameter. I would like the trunks to be straight and the first limbs to be about 10 feet from the ground. When should I start thinking about pruning them to achieve this. Thanks

I have been cutting down Ash Trees for Saw Logs and Firewood. I cut down a tree that I thought was Ash but when I cut into it the Heartwood was red and purple. The Sap Wood is white and the bark looks like Ash. Is this just a variety of Ash or another type of tree. Thanks For You Help

Bill, Thank You but I found an oil tank. Chuck

Bill, Thank You, I tried and they did not have one. I am currently dealing with McCulloch in China, they handle spare parts. Here is the picture. http://home.earthlink.net/~mswabbie/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/tank.jpg Thanks

My MAC 3200 leaks oil like a sieve. I tore it apart the other and discovered that the Oil Tank was split. I think it would be an OK saw for limbing because it is much lighter than my other saws, but I have not been able to find another oil tank. I know that McCulloch went bankrupt a few years...

Is there less moisture in trees during the winter time than there is during the summertime. It seems to me that there should be less. Now my real question. Do trees that are felled during the winter take less time to season than trees that are cut down during the summer.

Here we go again. I squared the rails, sighted down the rails, the bar is straight and true. I sharpened the chain. Went out and made some cuts on a twenty inch hickory log. I made two cuts, the cuts were crooked to the left. I then turned the bar over, made two more cuts and they were also...

So, it is ok to bend the bar back to straight? I sat the bar on a level surface and it did tip over, I ground the rails until it would stand straight, I used my machinist square and it is now square. I then measured the gap in the rails and it measured .070 +/- .002. I am running a .063 chain...

The bar has been pinched now that I think about it. What should I look for on the bar. Do I need to spread the rails, or is the bar toast.

I actually used concrete blocks, but kept going under the water. Maybe wood blocks are better. I will try it.
