    Picked up ANOTHER Chainsaw

    So, I have CAD... I am always looking for a a deal on Craigslist and Facebook. Was perusing the Market Place a couple weeks ago and saw an ad for a Echo CS590 for $200, Like New. Price dropped to $150 fairly quick so I asked if he was firm. Guy comes back and says he'll take $100. SOLD...

    Jeep saw/four wheeler saw

    I have an Echo CS310 I grab when I just need a small trail saw. Great little saw, comparable to a MS 170 or MS 180. 14" bar and cuts little stuff great.

    Lube for chain sprocket needle bearing

    I use the grease that I use for my bar tip sprockets (yes I grease the bar tip, had an Echo bind up on me once, greased them ever since.)

    I run semi chisel and have done about 40 chains for "customers" so far. All of them have been semi chisel as well. I have had it a month now and have done all 30,60, 0 on the angles. Everybody cuts hardwood around here and I don't want them complaining their chains dull quick. Have had all...

    best bench grinder for sharpening chains?

    Oregon 620-120, I love it. Fast, simple and extremely accurate on both sides. I was using the Chicago electric for rakers, but recently started using the 404 wheel on the Oregon, much easier!

    Glad to see the site back on track

    I usually check the new posts daily, have not logged in for over a week. I couldn't stand the ad or whatever that hack was. Thanks for fixing.

    Best Cordless Power Tools

    Not being in a trade and just using my power tools for homeowner use, I have found Ryobi to be pretty decent. Batteries are cheap and so far my Drills, Sawzall, circlular saw, sander, flashlights, etc have all held up well and the drills gets lots of use.

    dealer problems

    I have two local shops, one is 15 miles out and the other 5 miles. I have always gone to the furthest one and been happy but recently decided to try the closer one for some small purchases. Go to the close one for a 18 Bar for my 360, sorry we don't have it, can order. I say no thanks...

    Why is everything on here in Spanish? What did I screw up

    Yeah, I have had to go to my settings a few times on here and switch back to English. Glad I'm not the only one.

    2 freebies today. Poulan 25DA

    Nice, I scored two off craigslist a couple years ago. Cleaned the carbs and cut some foam for air filters and they ran great. Sold them both for about 50 bucks each.

    026 Won't Idle - Help

    Dropped a 25" Maple today with the MS 360 and then put that 026 to work limbing and bucking the top half. Awesome little saw for free + $55 in parts I had to put into it :rock:

    026 Won't Idle - Help

    Clutch repaired and tuned the carb. Cut some cookies and she purrs like a kitten. Throwing bar oil like a bastard but when I looked at the oil it looks like the previous owner has light motor oil in it. Going to use the rest of it up, there is only about a 1/4 cup n it and refill with bar oil...
