Finally up and running eh? Looking forward to the forum . . .

A friend of mine had been bugging me about grinding his .325 chain into a square configuration. So he gave me the Carlton chain and I ground it square - no problem I hung the chain on the nail and looked around on the other nails for other .325 chains. The first one that wasn't semi-chisel...

These are the long lasting aluminum wheels with an abrasive along the edges. You should get 1000 sharpening's from them. These grinding wheels often have been up close to $200. Bailey's has them for $129.95 Super Abrasive Cbn 5-3/4" Chainsaw Chain Grinding Wheels | Wheels | Grinding...

Taking notice of the place of manufacture, I have seen Oregon branded 5-3/4" grinding wheels manufactured in Mexico, Canada, & Italy. I would assume that I would see additional sources if I looked long enough? Which are the better ones? While we are commenting, what about the none...

I have a box of blue Husqvarna coils with only one of them a 13,000. They are take-offs where I replaced them with black coils. Most are 13,500's but there are a couple 14,000. AFAIK the black ones are fixed timing. I guess what I'm asking - is there a timing advantage to using the blue...

I was going to recondition the oil pump on my 7900. The same Dolmar rebuild kit also fits the 6000, 6800, 6400, & 7300. There are two adjusting screws in the package, a black one and a white one. Which one do I use? What are the difference between the two screws besides color. Looking at them...

Who's thinning their bar oil for these winter months? What are you using to thin it with? How thin are you making it? Is it dangerous too use gasoline to thin bar oil?

A fellow gave me a 1995 Homelite Bandit weed whacker in 2004. He told me that he tried everything and couldn't get it to run. It has set in the corner of the barn for the last seven years. I got inspired and thought I would get it going. The fuel lines had rotted and broken in two. I put...

I had a Chinese Elm that was dead in the top limbs but the trunk was still green. The tree was 38 yrs old and was around 16" DBH. There was no doubt as to which way it would fall as it had grown more to the West due to shading towards the East. No problem as the site was clear towards the West...

I've had a MAC 1432 since 1998. I bought it to replace a Homelite 150 Auto to use as a pruning saw around the yard. The Homelite was much more saw than the Mac 1432 but the Homelite was stinging my hands to death with vibration. The MAC was only $99. The McCulluch 32 was a gutless wonder. If...

I bought a almost new looking Husky 350 that was supposed to have a 16" and 20" bars and chains in a case. The saw was made 2007 - 22nd wk with no scratches or anything. When I got there, a 16" John Deer bar was on the saw and the 20" bar was nowhere to be seen. It had 20" and 16" Carlton...

I came across a Stihl 031AV recently and I noticed it doesn't have a chain catch? It looks as though it never had one? There seems to be a variation of features on these saws over the years? This one has the slot in the top of the chain guard for a brake lever but there is no mechanism...
