    wife complaining about my firewood

    Wives are like stoves. When they are acting up, it may be time to trade them in. Sorry, just kidding. Well maybe I'm not.

    scoring in 046....how bad is this

    Unseasoned sizzling oak in a bbq is a great idea. Adds lots of flavor. Burning it in a stove is a bad idea. Can I get an invite the next time you bbq? I'll bring the beer.

    scoring in 046....how bad is this

    Yes, I guess the guy knows better than Randy. No sense arguing with him. It reminds me of the debates I have with my neighbor where he says you can burn oak a few months after it's cut and split. I just shake my head and laugh. :laugh:

    I assure you the transfer was gone. It took a little while, but the scotchbrite did do the job. The transfer wasn't too bad to start with. I did use a heavy duty scotchbrite which made a huge difference. Spinning the buff bob in the cylinder, it heated it up enough where I needed gloves...

    Is the MS460 not sold anymore?!

    Sorry, man, I will now give your saw a moment of silence. As they say, time heals all wounds. When you get the new saw, you will forget all about her.

    Need help with a muff mod! Can't get a Husqvarna muffler uncrimped.

    For those that are confused, the 125B is a handheld leaf blower, not a chansaw. From what I have read, there aren't a lot of performance gains by opening the exhaust on that model of leaf blower. But as someone mentioned, throttle response is sluggish on that model stock, so opening a little...

    This picture shows why the MS460 is for little girls :)

    It looks too nice to use. Great job!

    Wow, that must have been some truck!

    Stihl 026 refresh ?

    I can only guess you have never rebuilt a saw. Especially a saw as nice as the old 026. There is nothing on that saw that can't be fixed. And plenty of used parts available, as well as new OEM parts. Great advice from (almost) everyone so far. Refresh the saw and run it another ten years...

    Is the MS460 not sold anymore?!

    You sound like you know your way around repairing saws, but are you sure you can't fix what has been crushed? Short of replacing the cases, the rest can be had at a decent price used. Even matching used cases might still be viable financially when you look at the price of a new or used saw.

    scoring in 046....how bad is this

    I wanted to avoid acid if I could, especially after viewing Randy's video above using sandpaper. Not knocking acid, but I figured if something else would work, that might be easier. I bought a 1-1/2 in. Cylinder Buff Bob from Harbor Freight that worked so well, you would have thought it was...

    scoring in 046....how bad is this

    I just rebuilt an MS440 which is similar in construction. The only tool I didn't have in my box was a T27 Torx long enough to pull the four cylinder bolts. I think most here use a T-handle Torx for the job. I was in a hurry and didn't want to wait for one to come in off the net, so I bought a...

    Mastermind is frozen in....

    You obviously missed post 117. It's Randy's wife I am looking to borrow, not Randy.

    Mastermind is frozen in....

    Oh wow, I don't know how you deal with that. I might need to find a country girl to keep me warm. Randy?

    Mastermind is frozen in....

    Yup, we will probably get a dusting tonight around DC. The low total is fine with me because the 8" from the other day has decided to settle in on the ground until July. I don't think it's ever going to get warm here in the Mid Atlantic. After last year and now this month, I have a new...

    Looks like Randy is going to get a few inches of snow this evening. When it rains, err snows, it pours.

    Mastermind is frozen in....

    As much as he is on the net, I'll bet he is getting the DT's. As long as his wait list is, it would suck to get another week behind.

    Poulan 3314 Chain Question...

    Oh no! I hate when people do that. How did I drag that up? I'll put myself on a one week timeout for that. Sorry guys!

    Poulan 3314 Chain Question...

    Maybe you should gift a loop of Stihl yellow and see his face light up. Can we say a friend for life!

    convert a ms 192 t to a ms 200.

    Are you sure the cylinder can't be repaired? Aluminum transfer from the piston onto the cyclinder walls can be successfully removed provided there are no deep scratches. If you aren't sure, take some pictures and post them on the chainsaw forum. Somebody should be able to give you an answer.
