Here's some pictures. The bar that says makita is the old. The last picture is the new bar over the old showing the length difference. Also how the mount is identical.

I dont think it's chain stretch. I lined up the old oregon bar and the new Oregon bar with the replaceable tip. With all the mounting holes lined up exactly, the new bar is about 3/16 shorter than the old. That's why I'm I'm running out of adjustment. A new chain was like that too.

Not a chainsaw, but I have a Shindaiwa T282. It's about 10 years old and had a couple issues with the carburetor. I put new gaskets and diaphragm in it. It runs great! One thing though, since the rebuild full throttle isnt full throttle on the throttle lever. Not sure why, I didnt unhook the...

Yesterday morning I went to my favorite small engine shop. Couldn't go inside with the virus stuff. I love looking around! They took a link out for $2. I bought a new chain since I was there and they took that link out for free. Got trimmer line and files also. I saw the owner walking in and he...

Seems like it should be simple but I'm scratching my head since I've never had it happen before. The saw is a Makita 6401 with an Oregon powermatch 20 inch bar. Woodland pro semi chisel chain 72 links. My issue is I'm out of adjustment to tighten up the chain. There is still some slack in the...

Thanks, I'll probably just pick up a new nipple at Napa in case that one is cracked. It's split a lot of wood and that's the first issue. I quit when I noticed it leaking. I hate how I have to take all the other hoses off to get to this one.

Good afternoon, yesterday when I was splitting I noticed a steady drip of hydraulic fluid leaking. It's a DHT 22 ton. The leak is at the threaded connection between the control valve and the cylinder. It's on the control side. I've never messed with hydraulics before. First, is there pressure...

One of my old bosses is high school rebuilt/custom built a '68 Camaro. It's a gorgeous car! Dark red with white wide white stripes up the center of it. Aluminum rally wheels. He's retired, but always goes to cruise ins. He's had it at the Super Chevy show in Indy. He's never said what engine it...

Missed a few weeks of reading and finally caught up. Where do I add things? Motorcycles, firewood, rain, more rain, no snow. I used to have a 2007 Yamaha R6 sport bike. Dark gray. Beautiful. I rode it to work and everywhere I didn't need to haul something. My favorite times were the twisty...

I used to hunt a decent amount on our property, but hobbies have changed a bit with family. I used to let an old friend hunt too. I let him hunt it for several years. All he had to do was ask, let me know when, and be legal. Worked great for awhile, then one year he ruined it for himself. He was...

I have a Shindaiwa T282. I love it! It's bit heavy for running through a yard for weekly trimming, but I do it. It's great for all around use. I use it to trim fence lines a few times a year. It will destroy vegetation on our dam that I trim a couple times a year. It always has the power to make...

I wonder about the seedlings too. I have lots of young ash trees in our woods now. I've cut almost every ash tree in our woods now. All killed. I love splitting it and burning it. I have a few more to cut this winter, then that will be every one of them. Some have been 6 inch diameter, some over...

I'm 35, been heating with wood since I bought the house from my parents in 2009. It's my grandparents old house. They used to have a wood stove as the only heat source when I was growing up next door. I remember sitting around the stove in the evenings with hot chocolate. Now I have an outdoor...

I can't say what is best for you, but wanted to say something about the Yamaha CVT. I have a 2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660 with the CVT. I've never had an issue. It has over 2000 miles of use just on our property; plowing snow, spraying fence, and pulling trailers of firewood up hills that it really...

If I was on my phone I'd share lots of pictures of some trees from over the weekend. I'll get to that. Since yesterday was Veteran's Day I wanted to say something about it. Saturday evening we all went over to my grandparent's house for dinner. My uncle was there from Washington state. He...

six1, sorry for your loss. It made me think last night, I had my dad over to put brakes on his truck. He was going to take it somewhere, but I said to get the parts and bring it over. We spent a couple hours in the garage. My 2 youngest boys came out too. They picked up their ride on Gator and...

With straight 16" wood I can easily do 2 face cord in a hour with my 22 ton DHT. I try to race myself without really thinking about it sometimes. Steady pace it's about 30 minutes per face cord.

Nice! The last few years I've been cutting mostly dead ash. Over the weekend I got to a big red oak blow down. I forgot just how much heavier that stuff is!

Reading through this today is what I needed. Felt like I was the only one who didn't really get anything accomplished this weekend due to fixing things that broke. Had to replace the rear brake pads on the truck. It wasn't too bad other than doing it at midnight Friday night since that's all the...

I've turned into a big fan of good all terrain tires, at least for my use. I used to have a lifted Jeep with Pro Comp Xterrain tires. Great in mud and off road, but they were terrible in snow and ice. I was better off driving my little car sometimes. Then I got a set of Kelly all terrians. They...
