That's a sweet running old j-red Stump... What size bar you gonna outfit it with?

That 20" is the only big jonny mount I got. They have larger studs than huskys.
I think I'm gonna sell/trade it, it's neet but just don't fit in right now. I'd rather sumbody have it that would really appreciate it more than me.
You know they make files for that?

That was before Husky took over the production of the red and black saws, after that the larger ones had the "Large Husky" mount (D009, not D024). I don't know exactly when that happened, but have seen evidence that it was before 1991.

Yeah... But I have one skip chain that just sucks ass... It don't matter what I do to it... It just sucks... I swear all it has to do is come near a piece of dirt, and it's over...

Awesome Day
Well Dad and I finally got back into a pasture that we were cutting in this Spring,... It had been share cropped w/beans not long after we cut a lot of Red, White and Burr Oak blow-downs from a wind and ice storm. All of the trees were 60+ years old and most of the Burrs were over 100. One burr trunk gave my 660 a run for it's money. I don't know what's up, but it feels like the saw is leaving a bit on the table. Not sure if I need to drop the rakers a bit, or if it really needs .404 chain,... I can tap it out pretty easily cutting wise (sharp chain) but it still feels like it's got power to spare? All in all we hauled a 7k/18' car hauler out full (w/in about an inch of running out of arch on the springs) and Dad's '97 Z-71 shortbed + plus a 6x12 single axle trailer full (minus the space occupied by the splitter). Not sure about total volume but I'm thinking 2-2.5 cords.... We'll see. I'll snap some pics in the am and upload them along with the buck pics. Now if it wasn't for freezing rain/sleet/snow, I'd be out splitting tomorrow. Not being un-manly, BUT, Pneumonia and I are old friends and I already have enough scar tissue in my lungs. :bang:
There's still a lot of wood there (some of questionable integrity),... I'm trying to see if my rancher buddy would allow some A.S. friends to come and spend a day playing along a dry creek bed,... There's only about 12-30 CORDS worth of crap that I'm trying to get cleared out, before it becomes bank eroding dams. And it's mostly Oak, w/a bit of Locust and Ash thrown in. The hedge is in another playground, the BIG hedge anyway. There's a few trees out there that would make Matt's Stumpbroke 372 cry Uncle!!!!!

My brother and nephews had planned on cutting wood this weekend but not with this rain. It is wet :msp_mad::msp_mad:

What length bar is on that 660? Ya, dropping them rakers will take advantage of unrealized torque for sure. Try 3/4 mm with a fresh sharpened 3/8" chain.
.404 is a mistake IMO on any saw under 110cc's.The wider kerf is a detraction to overall performance,removing that kerf with the skinniest chain you can get away with is how I see it.Other's mileage may vary.

You may be right,... i=I was just a bit leery of how to treat the rakers. I have the old Stihl depth gauge to keep them maintained, but I figured there had to be more room for improvement,... I now it's got more motor that's not being tapped (still occasionally 4-stroking while leaning on it).

If it's still strokinin the cut it needs to be leaned out a lil. Unless the chain is seriously dull.:msp_mellow:
As far as the rakers go I usually run them around .035"-.040" Or .889mm-1.1mm fer the metric minded fellers
Maybe a lil less if in extremely hard wood.

Sawing for Sanity
Sometimes I'll run a 20" Windsor Speed tip on it when I'm feeling froggy or cutting lot of Hedge, otherwise it normally pulls a 24" bar until I need the 36"er. I'll have to lean it out a bit and drop the rakers some more,...
Hey guys, what's going on? Long time no see.
I am actually working on a saw today! Been a long time. A friend of mine bought a 361 from me a while back, and his new chain had come off, and after he put it back on, it would not slide in the bar groove. Turns out several of the drive links are bunged up. I've been trying to file the burrs off, but there are a goodly number of them. I have no idea what happened when the chain came off. I suspect it may have been a small rock got sucked up in there somehow.
When you guys run across burred drive links, do you clean them up or just put on a new chain? Is there an easy way to clean these up? I haven't found it, if there is. Good cold rainy day to be fiddling with a chainsaw. Hope everyone is staying dry.

Looked at the doppler and it looks like you Kansas boys are getting hammered. I was hopeing it would stay on your side of the river but it's here now.
This puts a end to my wood cutting for a few days. I did get a big load of hedge thur. and a decent load of red elm yesterday. I have a good stash of oak,hard maple and walnut,but it is too green to burn at the present time. I love hedge,but anyone who cuts it to sell is working for short wages "Matt". That stuff is as brushy as mulberry.

Teacherman, Ive been known to put the chain on pretty loose. And send it for a spin around the bar... May not be the right way, or safest way.. So, dont hold me liable
