I am not a hydraulics guru. I am an above average parts replacer. I've rebuilt the prince pto pump and replaced hoses. The previous owner rigged and redid stuff horribly. I need a two spool valve block to control the cylinder and log lift. A simple detent return is all I want for the...

I have been searching off and on for something to help get the wood off the property I can cut on. I ran across an Elkem Formek model 4500 on Craigslist, listed in the northeast somewhere. The only thing I have found so far is that it is probably a Norse winch. It isn't represented as new or...

Saw a friend who owns a boat shop and ope store. Showed me this chain that an older man brought in, told him it couldn't be sharpened. Old fella got mad and left. He came back later and bought a chain after going to other places who wouldn't sharpen it. What do you guys think he was doing...

I have a good running 076 for sale. Starts, runs, and oils as it should. It is missing the lower rear muffler shroud bolt. Also, either the fuel cap gasket is going or along the top of the tank it weeps through the sealer from the factory. Neither of these have been an issue for me, but want...

I have two of each. The M105a3's are large, but manageable behind a 2500/3500 truck. They have an advertised rating of 3,000lbs and I have no doubt they can do it. They are equipped with surge brakes, a parking hand brake, 10r22.5 tires and a small boarding ladder on the tailgate. I am...

I recently bought a nice 076 from a member here. He also gave me a set of gaskets to go with it since fuel had been seeping from the tank. I can't find out how to split the tank. The tank is easily removed but I don't see how to split the tank. The clymer manual shows the orientation of the...

Looked on Weedeaterman and Baileys and couldn't find an air filter for my 981 Oly. It was fine until my buddy decided to make fines all day long. I'm going to have to do a better job of vetting my friends for borrowing. Any leads would be appreciated. Shea

Just hoping all of you get to spend time with family and friends enjoying the holiday. Give thanks for whatever it is you have, and be happy with it. I've been smoking a brisket since 6:30 this morning. I threw all the fat trimmings in the furnace and now every time I go outside it smells...

Just found one locally on craigslist and it looks to be in great shape, original box and all. Rare Mall Model 5 two-man chain saw What is it worth?? No, I'm not interested in it at that price, but I thought someone here might be. Shea

Just wanted to share some thoughts about cutting/splitting firewood after the last two weekends. The first thought, you can't have enought GOOD tools. I bought a DR splitter in November, awesome. Now, if you have huge, knotty rounds >20", it can be a pain to use the splitter, but those are...

Today has been a great day other than everyone seems to be sick. My wife presented me with a new X-27 splitter. I just happen to have obtained a DR rapid split about a month ago so i am set there now. My dad got me the hookeroon, I can already tell that will be handy moving rounds out of the...

I decided to post this with a link to what I put in the Mc sticky a little while ago. I would like to help my older neighbor rebuild the carb and get it cleaned up and running for him. It is a brute of a saw. Thanks for any help you guys can give me...

My older neighbor has a 266 he bought new. The tag says SE but the top cover says XP. No, he didn't replace the top cover. Just wondering which it is and when it was built, he was asking me if I could find out. I would appreciate the help. Thanks. Shea

A couple of months ago my wife was out perusing the yard sales...called about a saw, didn't give alot of info, then when she gets home later she and my son give me my new-to-me saw. A Stihl 310. I know most could care less about these saws, but if it cuts:rock: I finally checked some things...

I got started just over a month ago with my firewood collecting. It seems that the more I cut the more I need to cut. My friend tells me I have issues. Nevertheless, I have finished up a skidder road pulling and collecting all the dead and down worth having. I dare say 95% is...

Resubmitted the thread...delete.

Decided to go out with the wife to browse the yard sales. A friend of mine knew of this saw and showed me to it. the guy had it in the back of his truck, not really advertising it was for sale. It looks to be complete, well mostly. Most of the components seem to be in good condition. I even...

I've been pushing hard for the last two weeks to get all of our split wood stacked/put up. My son has helped off and on. Today we moved two trailer loads up to the barn to have a source of dry wood no matter what. With the first load he helped stack and get the wood off the trailer. With the...

After seeing the question about a bigger saw, I decided to go ahead and post this. Will be cleaning up and selling the 7900 that recently arrived. Decided that the 3-big saw plan didn't work when I could use something that could help the Husky 51. Wouldn't mind another 51/55 but know that...

I got a fairly good deal on a 7900, $300 to be exact. I knew it wouldn't be a prom queen, so no disappointment. It has approx 140 lb of compression. The plug was clean when received. Didn't fire right off so quit and moved to other stuff. I plan to pull the muffler and check the P/C. The...
