Wow, i can't imagine a delete plug. Mines extremely hard to hold to the ground during a pull without the decompression. If it leaks you could always just use some teflon tape or liquid gasket.
I bought 36" and 24" woodland pro bars. Then a crosscut and a rip chain for each. We're about to take down eight 100' pines threatening the house we recently bought. The base of the larger ones are about 5' diameter. Then I have a handful of 100' oaks and cherries that are either already down or have died and need to come down. The rip chains are for slabbing those ones up. Looks like the tracking slip from baileys predicts them to come in on the 10th.
I'm pretty sure all the rubbers were dupes, but could be wrong. That screw bugs me though. It's not an AV screw (those were course screws for plastic). This one is a small machine screw that's similar to the 4 that hold down the white plastic shroud around the clutch drum. I haven't load tested the brake nor have I given it any bar oil yet, so I may inadvertently find it's place afterall. Btw, the brake spring only took a couple tries with a regular screwdriver. Grinding a hollow would certainly make it easier, but don't go messing up a driver you care about just for it. Try without first (and with safety glasses).
Forgetting to double-nut the stud bolt was a bonehead move. After that was squared away I used some red locktite. Didn't see much reason those would ever need to come back out. I didn't add locktite anywhere else since the screws already had some blue on them.
