    Husqvarna T542i XP

    I found a video about the model in the title here. Notable is that it has a centrifugal clutch like an ice model. It also seems to have a metal sprocket cover that now can really be called a clutch cover. Seems to be improved about chip removal from that area as my 536 model isn't too good in...

    I got the new Husqvarna 540 mark 3 gasoline rear handle

    And the surprise is it is only 125 hour compliant on the exhaust rating. It gets 3 on the clean air index. It is not a surprise that the ipl is not publicly available at this time, but it is a surprise that when I order the saw and the mini.325 chain with a sprocket for 3/8lp as well I just get...

    oiling the bar and chain problems with the Husqvarna 536 model

    I have had this for probably more than 5 years, It has not oiled the chain very well for a few. I have taken it apart twice and thought I got it going again but the oiling stops once putting it into any realistic use. pump installed rubber line from rubber block goes to bar. The pump and...

    Honda brush cutter runs out of power

    I bought this 35cc honda brush cutter/string trimmer (bike handles) last year late summer or early fall. I have another one I got a few years earlier that works fine. This one idles fine all the time but after two to 20 minutes it looses top end and will stall if too much throttle. Last year...

    mulberry tree

    This is a picture of the tree I put as my avatar at basically the time I joined. It makes lots of berries that kind of resemble black berries or rasberries but are black or close to black. They are good to eat and flocks of turkeys come at times in addition to smaller birds that do not walk on...

    Can the species of this tree be determined?

    This is in northern west Virginia about 5 miles from the Ohio river. Nearby trees have been identified. Chestnut Oak, Buckeye, Tree of Heaven, Tulip Poplar, Maple, Beech. It is hard to see high enough to view a leaf but it seems I did get a picture, looks like a compound leaf. The bark looks...

    Sawdust removing band blades

    Any interest in discussing the Lenox Chipsweep or Wood-Mizer Vortex or any other similar product. http://woodmizer.com/Store/Home/silvertipvortex http://www.spectrumsupply.com/chipsweep.aspx I have used a few of the Chipsweep ones. They have the raker tooth every fifth. I think I like them...

    HUSQVARNA 536LiP4 battery pole saw

    It has recently come to my attention that a pole saw is now available for the Husqvarna 36 volt battery. From the ipl of this and my battery chainsaw it uses the same sprockets as the chainsaw. That means 6 tooth 3/8lp and/or 8 tooth 1/4. One extendable and one not extendable. For anyone who...

    Angle drive grease

    I had my tube rupture attempting to get the grease into the tiny hole on the pole pruner attachment. I also just had my second set of angle drive gears wear out. It is pretty obvious the genuine Efco grease is a different color than what they put in when new. Any suggestion as to what kind of...

    Fran's bar modification thread

    There seem to be small bars with open ended slots that just about need to be given away on Ebay at various times. I have done a few but this one is a 14 tooth nose 1/4 inch pitch 80 drive link. Not sure how necessary it is to weld up the end but I am doing it here. Making the slot long enough...

    vibration in Husky top handle saws

    I seem to get some bizzare feelings in my hands notably the left one in the evening and perhaps for a few days after using the top handle saw I have. Looking at the new 540t I have discovered the vibration number that is claimed falls between two saws that are supposed to differ only in plastic...

    How is the stihl make product reservation process actually done?

    I ordered a couple of loops of chain of a type that I doubted was in stock on line. Go to stihl, go to chain, select dealer, select product reserve price pick exact time and date to pick up, give credit card for security reasons, get email saying product is ready to pick up. Drive to place and...
