My brother forgot to prelube a bearing like that once and got about 30 mi before it melted to the axle, not sure why it does not go in there easily but we fill the space between the bearings with oil before we slide hub on axle too. We always usee oil to prelube it. Chad

I do have the stihl 3/8 and the adapter bar will also go on the 460 so I guess I was thinking keep the same size for all. I did not look for sure but do not want to have to change out rim sprocket when changing bars etc. The 28" it came with has a .050 chain. Chad

I'm having the same problem. Chad

I have been posting on this subject in more than one forum and decided to write them back after thinking about all of the responses I have received. I figure a straight forward approach and explaining what I do with their product would better make them understand The long term effect of standing...

We cut yesterday and today in a flanel. It was nice and got a couple loads of hard maple for my buddy. It was good weather to be roping down a city tree. Next trip we can do teh trunk and should get about 3 more loads. Chad

I got a cleverly written email back from a warranty claim on a rain jacket that leaks today. It reads as follows. Hi Chad, Good afternoon and thanks for the information. Unfortunately this jacket is no longer covered under warranty. We warranty our gear for the lifetime of the product not the...

Around here pallets are free for hauling just slide one over the posts. Big long 8 footers easy to come by too. Slide or lean up aginst the post and fill it up They are ridgid and make a fence of sorts. Either cut in half and use them or burn when done

How about putting the stacks one pallet length apart throw down another pallet and stack the shorts on that. Chad

What about stacking 2 rows of regular firewood a couple feet apart so you can drive between them and throwing the little pieces in between the rows. When you burn it just work you way down the rows mixing long and short or cleaning out the small stuff first. Whatever works better. Chad

I have the 64cc and I really runs. Little hard to start when it's hot and you run it dry but I think I may need a new plug or wire. It's a little heavy for the small stuff but great in the big stuff. Chad
