I’ve noticed it’s missing something in this hole here. Would anyone know what it is? Air filter? I’ve...

    Does anyone know where you can buy a 100' roll of .325, .050, full comp, chisel, NON_SAFETY chain? I guess I'd rather stihl but i don't think they make it without the raker bumps. I've had good experience with oregon but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

    Want to Sell Jonsereds 451E needs a good home with a firm master

    I give up. I'm an old surveyor in Alaska. I used to have a Jonsereds 521EV that would start on 1 pull and run 12 hours straight, with a carbide-coated chain (sharpen it once every evening). The heated handles kept my hands warm at 30 below. The saw was set to die if I let go of the trigger...
