I suspect that my dear wife has purchased me some sort of Chainsaw mill. I know zero about using one I have seen some videos etc. My main question for now at least is this. I really have no interest in kneeling on the ground to mill a log. I would guess many others do not either. I have a...

I need crank seals for my Poulan Pro 225. Every hit I can find through Google leads me to NLA answers. The Part Number appears to be 530-019059. I think they made many saws with this engine I assume maybe if I searched a different model I may have better luck? I see some on E-Bay but everyone I...

I will post this here but if the mods think it should be moved feel free to do so. I have always struggled with diagnosing any and all electrical issues. First, I will tell you that the only meter I have is the cheap free HF one. That one failed me last summer, told me my riding tractor was...

My cousin has a 1970s JD crawler dozer with a broken winch part. He is trying to find one but not having much luck, he is trying to find JD bone yards that may be able to help him. If anyone knows of such a place, please let me know and I will pass the information on to him. We are in Central...

Please forgive my laziness but does anyone know what carb rebuild kit I need? the saw is way out in the cold cold Maine winter right now. She runs ok after you squirt a little mix in the carb but after it sits overnight, I have to do it all over again. it does not seem to "pump" fuel up from...

Hi all I gave a good friend an old Homelite XL Auto Oiling saw ( it is a very small saw) I had on my shop floor forever. He is a Homelite guy and wants to get it running if he can. He needs crank shaft seals at least the one on the pto side and does not know how to find or where to find what he...

Hi everyone hope all are well. In light of the thread I saw last week I guess Dolmar is going to stop gas engine yard product production and focus on battery operated tools instead. Here is my question, I have a 2-3 year old 5105 easy start and I am wondering about replacement part production...

Last winter I bought a new 5105 I had a rough go of it in the beginning,.. it did not start well. I have since made up my mind that based on what I have read here I may have been flooding it. I have now figured out how to start it and how closely I have to listen for the first pop. 2 or 3 pulls...

Hi all, I have a Stihl 010 that I will need some AV Buffers for, does anyone know where to get an ipl? I have found one on google but it had prices are in pounds not usd. Also I think I saw a mistake on one of the parts listed, there was a buffer bracket thing and the reference number when...

A man I work with had his fil pass away recently and asked me if I wanted some saws. So today I went to see what he had, I took a small older Stihl and a Homelite super XL. That left him with a Remington 754 G and a Homelite 350 (just the power head). I asked if he wanted me to ask if around...

I have a Jonsered 625 that had been giving me fits lately. It is new to me and needed many parts to make it a useable saw again. It would start only after many many pulls then only run a few seconds then stall again. I had yesterday off so I went to take a look again . I checked compression 169#...

A friend gave me these last week and I brought them home yesterday. He said he though the wild thing may run but he was told the craftsman would not start. He was just adding them to his pile of scrap and was planning on just taking them apart to separate the materials for the junk yard.

Hi I have a 625 Jonsered and I want to completely replace the clutch assembly on. Does anyone know the part number I need to order one? Or is there someone on this site that sells Jonsered parts? The Clutch is a 3 shoe , Clutch Drum is set up for Rim drive and I want to keep it that way, and a...

First off I hope everyone had a good fattening dinner yesterday we did up here. I was cold as all get out I think it was 16* with lots of wind about dinner time. Now on to my saw question. The last time I ran the saw any amount was back in October about the last week of the month. Towards the...

Hi everyone I saw something this week at a saw shop that I want to buy but don't know how to begin looking for them. I will call them long shank Allen head and maybe Torx head bits. I am looking for a Jonsered 625 cylinder and I stopped by a dealers shop in my travels. He had an old carcass but...

I have been given a complete 026 and a parts power head and thought I would try to make 1 from the two. I went to the shop today to look at the piston condition of both saws. I thought that one had a good piston but both are toast. I am not going to be doing anything till I get some parts but...

On Thursday of last week I bought the Dolmar. I don't know another person who owns one my son said "Dad I am sure you did your research but I never heard of a Dolmar before" My newest saw other than this is a 1984 Partner 5000 plus so this will be all new to me. I have a 70 acre woodlot that...

I have been sawing up some tree length for next years firewood and I had something sort of strange happen. I generally run Partner 5000's and I was yesterday too but for a second saw I brought with me a 500.When I ran the 5000 out of gas I grabbed the 500. Now it has been a very long time since...

Hi all I have a Partner 5000 that has a severe starting issue and I need some fresh thoughts. I am embarrassed to admit it but I am stumped. This particular saw has been a pima for a long time. I have dealt with a poor start issue for 2 years now. So I will make this as short as I can .I have...

I have an old home and I want to insulate the cellar ceiling. I am thinking the easiest way would be to have it spray foamed. What happens to all the electrical wires that. Will become buried underneath it when done? Is there an issue here or not?
