    Chainsaw chaps: How many use 'em?

    Finally broke down and bought a pair of chaps. Bailey's had some on sale and was offering free shipping, a free t-shirt and a free trial of some new string trimmer line all because I hadn't ordered in a while. So I put together an order that included chaps which arrived today and they seem...

    Tiller Question

    If you have a decent sized garden and want just one machine get an old Troy Bilt Horse, don't waste your time/money with a new MTD version. Mine is a 1976, got it free from an old friend who didn't want to bother with it after it sat for many years. Got it going ok but then the engine blew. I...

    346XP leaking bar oil

    I know you are right, it's a great saw, just little things like this seem like a lack of attention to detail that you'd expect in a cheap saw, not a top of the line one. I'm just blowing off steam, it's hot and I'm cranky. I'm not going to take a huge hit selling an otherwise great saw to buy...

    346XP leaking bar oil

    I haven't been on in a while so I'm due for a good rant. I admit I'm just a Joe homeowner but I burn wood as my primary source of heat and as a former landscaper I like good equipment which is why I bought my 346 rather than a box store saw. It annoys the crap out of me that my still new...

    With Pics. Step by step process to stop the 346xp from leaking bar oil, maybe.

    Taxi, you're a good sport, glad you didn't take my ribbing the wrong way, it's all in fun. Cell phones are a pain to type on. Even though I live in CT I'm still in farm country and I'm half redneck myself (much to my wife's dismay, lol) so I'm not always the slickest when I post either. I have...

    Super, because mine used to leak a little, now it leaks a lot so I could use an answer. Does anyone have a jibberish to English dictionary handy? Taxi, sorry to rag on you because you are helping and I appreciate that but really, what the heck are you trying to say, to vent the oil cap a...

    Using pallets as firewood

    I wouldn't pass a few up for free but believe it or not I haven't found any close enough to make it worth the gas in my truck to go get (haven't looked that hard though). I have tried asking some of the stores around here for a couple to stack some wall stone on and they won't give them away...

    The we need to help Stump rebuild a shop, replace tools, replace saws thread.

    My stupid PayPal account was so old I had to set up a new one but I finally got 20 bucks out to your account yesterday Stump. Wish it could be more, maybe I can do more later. Still rummaging around for extra tools and parts. Obviously I know chainsaw related stuff and tools are useful, but I...

    brand new Stihl oil flippy cap problems.

    Hmmm, that's odd that they are willing to replace the other caps but not the ones on the saws. I have a KM110R kombi-motor and my flippy cap was terrible. After fussing with it for 10 mimnutes one day I just thought I must have gotten up on the stupid side of the bed that morning. Then I...

    2050 jonsered,piston scored need advice

    Please be sure to keep us posted, including pics of course! My first saw was a 2050 Turbo, nice saw. I gave mine to a buddy whose saw was stolen after I bought my new 346. I just saw him the other day and my old saw was right there riding shotgun in his truck, made me happy to see it. He...

    If you had to buy a chainsaw from Amazon...

    Oh ok, I'm sure if it's an AS sponsor you have nothing to worry about. Wasn't Stumpy was it? His shop just burned down and he lost everything in there pretty much. There is a sticky thread out there about it, people are stepping up with donations, etc to help him out. I know he hopes to be...

    If you had to buy a chainsaw from Amazon...

    11/28, yeah I'd be getting concerned too. Still, shipping a chainsaw is not as easy as some stuff so don't give up hope. I would contact the seller and let him know you are very concerned and if you don't get a tracking number in the next business day or two you may have to dispute the...

    The we need to help Stump rebuild a shop, replace tools, replace saws thread.

    Yeah well, I bet they stay running better when they aren't stored in water like a can of tuna. It must be dinner time because I keep talking about chainsaw stew and tuna. Yummy. Oh well, that's at least $20 cash I can give to Stumpy instead of wasting my time shipping the saw.

    Yeah, I'm thinking the returns on that sad little saw have diminished beyond all recognition at this point but since I don't know that much I figured I'd see what others think. I guess maybe now it's purely "decorative" :biggrin:

    The we need to help Stump rebuild a shop, replace tools, replace saws thread.

    Wanted to get caught up on this thread during my lunch break, wow! I don't have much to offer but I'm pretty sure I have a foot or two of fuel line and a filter. I think I also have some fuel line for lawn and garden tractor engines (with some of those horrible little spring clips) as well as...

    At what point did you buy a splitter?

    I bought one when the pain I felt letting go of my hard earned money (which I don't have a lot of) became less than the pain I felt in my back, shoulders and hands after hand splitting. For me that was when I found a 4 year old 25 ton MTD splitter for $400 on CL. Not the best brand and it smokes...

    Stumpy, don't feel bad for not being perfect. Your willingness to admit your faults/sin show good character and a willingness to repent and rise above them. Remember, God's Word says that "while we were yet sinners Christ died for us" and "there are none righteous, no not one". He doesn't expect...

    Is it still considered Free firewood when ...

    Glad the horse wasn't in the way. My friend's wife had a horse get killed when a large branch fell on it's head. She was devasted.

    Is it still considered Free firewood when ...

    Before you rebuild the fence, clear cut everything within reach plus 10 yards. Then hang a couple blue-bird nesting boxes on the fenceposts to keep the wife happy. Just think of all the firewood you will have, maybe enough to sell to pay for the fence repairs. With any luck the stupid blue...
