    Echo 501p filter upgrade

    The 501 filters leave a lot to be desired. Does anyone make a better filter for them? I don't know if it's the 2 piece design or poor seal on the intake to filter mount but mine constantly has fine dust in the intake.

    Help me ID this tree.

    Help me ID this tree. Ambrosia beetles got to it this summer and it doesn't look like it's going to survive. I've had two local arborists look at it and neither know what it is. The tree has relatively smooth bark, wood is very dense. It produces white flowers in the spring with a fruit/nut...

    Reducing the fleet help me decide

    Sorry to disappoint. I about cried when the 056 super went, the 046 I just didn't lose any sleep over. I'm selling my house to buy a much larger wooded lot and build a new house. Since I will be living in an apt or small house for at least a year during construction, i need to minimize the...

    Reducing the fleet help me decide

    I need to sell some saws to fund another project. So far I sold my 046 and 056 super. I have a 24" 660 and 36" 066 which I will keep since they get used the most. I have a lightly ported 16" 026 and exhaust modded 20" 036 Pro. Either the 026 or 036 is going to go. Keep in mind all these are...

    A little brother for the 361?

    I have 2 lightly woods ported 026's running 16" bars and .325 chain. I like these saws so much that I sold my 361 w 20" bar and 3/8 chain. I found that I was always reaching for a 026 or one of the bigger saws. I just did not use the 361 enough to justify keeping it. The 361 is a great in...

    What mower deck is this?

    Is that other deck in the background the same? It kinda looks like its part of a gang mower, except that it's side discharge. What do the stickers on it say?

    My new crack head ghetto saw

    Actually, it works that way with anything that has a serial number or an owner identifying mark. It can be entered stolen through the local police and when they run the VIN or serial number it shows as such. I would contact the local PD and run the serial number through them. Who knows if...

    not a chainsaw but how would you...?

    I have replaced several pistons on PB-650/1's. I have always used a C-Clamp with a bolt slightly smaller than the wrist pin to break the wrist pin clip. Next take a small punch and drive the wrist pin toward the fan. There should be plenty of room for it to clear. When you install the new...

    PTO Pump

    Mine is very similar. A 21 gpm Prince pump with a 4 or 5" cylinder will outrun any store bought splitter. Cycle time with a 4" cylinder is right at 6 seconds. I'll split for several hours and the tractor will just idle along and never struggle to turn the pump. I'm only running a 30 hp tractor.

    can I haul 3 cords

    As long as your trailer has brakes on both axles and the trailer is rated to handle the load you should be fine with either the Chevy or Dodge. I've towed 19k with my F-350 and Dodge 2500. Just remember, it's all about the trailer brakes.

    BP blowers.

    Personally I would go with the tried and true Echo or Stihl or because it's easy to get filters and replacement parts for them. Kawasaki would be my third choice because they are extremely reliable. I don't like the Redmax 8001it just feels too heavy and bulky even though it's close in weight...

    Golf piston failure

    Here's the cylinder. What are your thoughts on the nick and the rest. It had 145 psi before the clip let go.

    Golf piston failure

    Here is a pic of the piston. It's hard to tell but the wrist pin clip is fully seated in the groove and there is nothing to keep the pin in place.

    Golf piston failure

    That's exactly what happened. The groove is so deep the clip just spins inside. I can slide it around with my finger.
