Hey guys I'm rebuilding an ht 75. The engine is all together and it runs fine but it won't turn off. I just replaced the spring in the grip that should ground it out, and from what I've seen everything running from the engine to the tip of that spring works fine. What I can figure out is how the...

I have a ms440 that has good compression (just put a new piston in it), spark, just put a new fuel line in it etc. After I let it sit for a while, it will start briefly on full choke then die, after that when I pull it over, it just fires and jerks my hand back. Any thoughts would be...

Ok so yesterday I updated my 12 yr old woodmaster 4400, fan is new, ETC is updated(if anyone else has done this, they know the wiring has changed some), snap disc replaced. Temp is reading, there are no codes showing up now that I'm up to temp but my fan is still not kicking on. I've gone...

It’s a 372 clone build. It recoiled when I first built then the rope broke. Replaced that and the spring was chinsy so I replaced. Now the dang thing won’t retract. It retracts off the saw just not installed against flywheel. Any suggestions or advice is welcome. At my wits end with this...

555 Or 562XP Yes, I know this one is a dead horse but I have a few questions. I currently have a 435, which I pretty much destroyed cutting 9 cords of oak with. That was my first saw and I learned a lot of things, especially what not to do. I bought that saw knowing this and now I ready to...

Hello All, Seeking your experienced counsel. Please review this photo and advise me how you would piece this tree out. I will be using my bucket truck with a 52' working height. (I am guessing the tree to be 60'?) Since I have bid it out, I have lost sleep over this one...just want to be wise...

We bought this house a year ago and my tree looked like this. We found Japanese beetles and started spraying for them last year. We will continue this year. Is that what caused this? Can I bring this tree back?

Stihl MS291 has me baffled. This is the chain: STIHL 3689 005 0081 Oilomatic 26 RM3 81. I have sharpened countless chainsaws in my life using nothing but a file and I have never had a problem until I purchased this saw. I am doing everything right. I am holding a 3/16 file at a 30 degree angle...

I've been searching the forum all morning and found a huge amount of really useful information, but so far no answer to the question I came here looking for. Maybe someone can end my agony, haha. I was recently gifted a Stihl Wood Boss 028 AV that was leaking bar oil. So I tore it down and...

Hey Fellers, I go by axe, I’m 27, I’ve been doing tree work since I was 18. I started dragging brush and humping logs for the first 2 years. Then taught myself to climb from untying my bosses knots. Long story short I still use simple monkey knot, running bowline, and Clove hutch. One rope...

Hoping the collective knowledge here can point me in the right direction. WeWhave a tree in our yard that i believe is a Shumard Oak. It looks fairly healthy with the exception of the leaves at the very very end of many branches are starting to curl up and shrivel (see pictures). The home was...

Hi my name is Corey I'm a landscaper in Snohomish I take care of a trailer park and there is this very large cottonwood tree that is of concern I need a expert opinion to confirm my suspicions of its deadly nature. The tree is leaning towards trailers and branches of already fallen before. I...

I currently cut all my wood with a husqvarna 450, I’m looking to get something bigger, that can be used for everything from firewood, to falling and I’ve even given a sawmill setup some thought for the future, I was thinking about maybe a 372xp because I’ve only heard good about them but not...
