    Part Number For Husqy 359

    1 bar + 1 chain = 1 Blade (it really does meet requirements of a double edged blade: cutting surfaces with rigid center structure). Actually, I think I like calling a complete set a "blade" mostly because it ALWAYS gets a reaction from someone on here :msp_biggrin: Thanks for the heads up all...

    echo carb limiters?

    Warranty is shorter for commercial than HO; first summer I had my cs-341, the limiter came out with a pair of needle nose pliers and the warranty went by-by! This little saw is particular! As in, I am always field tuning, some times two or three times depending on temperature and humidity. Other...

    Part Number For Husqy 359

    Hi all. I recently bought a 359, new carb, many new parts from the dealer, unfortunately it leaks bar oil like a sieve unless it is sitting on it's side handle with the blade dangling in the air, waiting for me to trip over it in the shop. I broke it apart to get at the oil pump and hosing...

    Summer tree topping in Alaska

    Except you should be using a ring or a rigging plate, as caribiners are not desgned to be used like that, as log grabs. Otherwise use this: http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=348&item=1896 Or maybe this: http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=350&item=1997...

    should i buy this climbing kit or piece together?

    Even Jepson says "don't use another man's gear". Shock loads, cycles to failure, how often was the gear left lying on concrete, in the back of the truck in the rain, etc. all that. For life support, best to start fresh or from a personally known source. Put yours together from scratch after...

    Can this harness be used for SRT climbing? (links, pictures inside)

    The bridge connects the legs and the hips, centers you on the line when in suspension. Places you in a natural sitting position where the force of your body is evenly distributed, keeps you from self-tourniqueting.

    Can this harness be used for SRT climbing? (links, pictures inside)

    Where/How would you put the bridge? Don't point your toes with those hooks: I've heard linemen say they fall right out of the pole.

    "wicked work saw" 385xp

    Jonsy dealer, that will come in handy. Oh You Know Thats Right. You can ship those right? Or did they change that?

    Keeping your seasoned firewood dry if you don't have a regular shelter for it.

    Clear visqueen, heavy mil, then stapled to the split ends with a hammer tacker or a construction stapler. Cheaper and more durable than tarping. The clear plastic works like a green house, the short sides means moisture condenses, then drips off sides (where it's able). I don't know why you...

    Summer tree topping in Alaska

    Awesome video brother. That will come in handy for us down here in the lower 47. You'd he surprised the number of people who don't know what "in-tree" is much less means.

    Saw upgrade advice?

    You can get a good looking 372xp for under $500, they market at almost a $1000 new. 70+ ccs will handle a 24/25" blade with ease, and for firewood, that's all you need. Just build your arsenal and don't despise small beginning. When you need a bigger saw, you'll be able to get it. I dropped...

    Pine boards

    For outdoor use (unless it's decking), you want them rough, for the same reason all of your cedar and fir from the lumber yard is Rough Sawn. When you sand the lumber you are closing the grain which prevents sealer penetration. The rough out holds the sealer better/longer and therefore weathers...

    Classic neighbors tree hanging over my yard deal

    I'm probly wrong, because apparently I'm crazy, but I think it would be a technical case of his property damaging your property. You could present it like that; the "cheaper to cut it down than have it fall down" approach, but if money and pride are tight, Them's Fightin' Words.
