I've been thinking about getting a saw bigger than my 55 Rancher. I came across this in Facebook Marketplace: "Nice Jonsered 2166 chainsaw with a 24" bar. This saw is in great condition and is a great running saw. The top end was replaced with OEM Husqvarna cylinder and piston, so it is...

Well, I pulled the carburetor off to take a look at the input side of the piston and I think it looks very good. Here is the exhaust side showing the ring and the piston body: And here is the intake side showing the same thing: Thinking at this point to really clean off the grime and see what...

Got it Ray, Thanks for the help!

Good Morning, I'm looking for the service, owners and parts manuals for a Partner K700 cut off saw. I have the ones for the Active and Active II. I need the original K700 manuals. Thanks, Jeff

Justsaws, Thanks for the info, I guess I'm taking the jug apart this weekend.

Morning All, Haven't posted in a while but I need some info and this seemed like the best place to ask. I acquired an old Partner K700 cut-off saw. It is old enough to not be the Active or Active II versions. It has a conical air filter (it is missing some of the air filter housing), a non-EPA...

Hi All, its been awhile since I posted. I started splitting the scrounging I did in April and I'm trying to ID these two logs. The first split really easy and now that it is dry it is very light. The second split well and is heavy like I would expect. I think it might be hard maple. Any...

I thought about that. I have a chain and a strap in the truck. The local fire/rescue was there training for water rescue in the river next to the pile. I didn't want to start pulling out logs and accidentally block in an emergency vehicle should a call come. After they left I was starting to get...

Friday scrounge and the city tree dump, nice sunny day. The first photos is the back of the pile I was pulling from. I need to call the city and ask if they can pull the pile apart. Its too dangerous to try to cut cause its all tangled up in the pile. The next image is a small stack of the wood...

Well, it was only me doing the work and we had a Neighborhood progressive dinner in the evening so I couldn't tire myself out too much. There was another log that was around 20" at the base tapering to 14" lying there. I could have wrapped a chain around it and used my truck to pull it on top of...

Saturday Scrounge Same Place, Different Time I went back to the municipal wood dump and cut another load of wood. Filled the entire bed this time.

Thanks crowbuster. The chunks weighed quite a bit when I loaded them. I thought it was just wet but hard maple makes sense. I think the last photo might be ash when I compare the bark to other photos in the thread.

Thanks. I found the saw brand new at Lowe's on the clearance rack for $100. It needed the clutch/brake cover, a few bolts and one of the dogs. Another $80 and I had a brand new saw.

First posted scrounging. This is where the city dumps cut trees so residents can cut what they want. Wasn't too much when I got there but next Saturday there should be more. First photo is the log I cut from. The second is the truck loaded and the third is an additional chunk I cut in half to be...

Yes, he actually does have a nice metal can I can use. I even labeled it "Chainsaw Gas" about 10 years ago so there wouldn't have been any confusion between mixes. Nuts, I wish I thought of the garbage bag trick. The saw doesn't leak, but the gas can probably does have the residue on it and...

Well, I didn't bring my saw down to my parents due to the fact it had to go in the trunk of my wife's car rather than the back of my truck. It's a 4 hour drive from Cleveland to my parents. My questions are: Will the residual odor of gas from a drained saw and empty gas can leach into our...

Thats how... I got my 1/4 cord of red oak the same way. Comming back from walking the dogs I saw the stack sitting in a leaf pile waiting to get picked up. All good sized limbs, average 10" diameter. After 10 trips with my wheelbarrow and a year of drying time this stuff burns great. I've got...

I've got the 55. I love mine. Just keep the chain sharp and you will be fine. Jeff

Husky 55 Rancher Brand new but missing parts on the Lowe's clearence rack. I started to walk away and thought I'm nuts. Paid $100 for the bar, chain and powerhead, spent $80 for the chain brake, bar nuts, misc. screws, bar oil and 2 cycle oil and a sheath. My first brand new chainsaw. Jeff

You know... If you ask 5 arboristsite members their opinions on saws you'll get 10 different answers....:D
