I bought this used Stihl chainsaw. It has no tag so I am trying to identify it to buy some parts. I know the serial number doesn't do a lot of good (217301006) I emailed Stihl to see if they have a record of it. From the pics can you guys tell what make this is? Guy told me it was a 038 super...

So, i would like to get some advice for porting my loved ms260. Great saw! Done a muffler mod, but it needs a bit of a waking up. (You know what i mean)

I've been cutting for a little over a year now, and I just CANNOT hand file a chain right! Lately I've been free handing my chains, and they are VERY sharp, but the top plates are getting too long on the left side, and they're chipping! I've been filing at 25°, and matching my file to the...

Hi arboristsite, I have produced a very initial draft of an informative handbook on invasive tree pest species. From a questionnaire that I produced which was completed by some viewers of this and other tree and invasive pest websites, specialists said that they had extensive knowledge of the...

Hello users of arboristsite.com, I'm a 3rd year university student doing their project on invasive insect species. As part of this I am required to make an informative book/website/board-game/etc... to help a target audience understand and counter invasive insect species. I've chosen to make a...

Here's pics of my situation. It's leaning and limb weighted in the direction it needs to go down. Only concerns are: 1. Too far clockwise (CW) and we might lose gate posts and maybe some wire fence (no big deal). 2. Too far counter CW (CCW) and it gets into the two story garage. (BIG DEAL) 3...

Hi all - apologies in advance for the long post, trying to outline everything needed with all information to get some solid answers. picked up a not-running 066 (for too much - wanted a bigger saw to play round with and got excited...), previous owner took off exhaust to show me piston scoring...

Hello All! I have been lurking on this site for over a year now and have never had a problem that was not already addressed elsewhere, but I do now! I have a Stihl 084 that I'm working on for a customer that has me completely stumped. It is currently firing and running a few seconds and...

getting a gift for my other half. Wondering if the 056 Super Mag is a good choice, or if there are other saws that might be better.

I'm posting to share the problem I found causing my saw not to work and no other help post I've read had this as a likely cause. As its happened to me,its real world. I run a stihl MS170 to cut firework and bought and further cheap damaged one on fleabay to fix up and take apart to learn, so as...

Just picked up a Poulan Pro PP5020AV on Craigslist... first mistake. It was only 55$ and with a retail of around 200$ I thought, SCORE! Well, the saw didn't want to turn on the bar. (I fired it up when I bought it, but didn't want to look like a craigslist killer and start revving it up in the...

Ok guys hope you can help. Bought this saw 2 years ago and really disappointed with it. I was told it was a professional saw. Now found out it isn't. Problem is keeps bogging down when cutting threw thick wood. Now when using for 6 hours straight it overheated. I figured out it had overheated...

Middle of last winter I picked this 460 up off of craigslist immediately after cutting wood with my buddy. Me running a pathetic MS210C and him a MS290"Farm Boss" pretty much bought the 460Mag before I dialed the number. It is a high hour saw, no doubts there. But it runs better than my daily...
