It was making a noise.........ya think?

[Scandy14]

The pictures says it all. Can't believe they kept on running the saw to this point.........

Brake band hanging up? What saw was that from?

 

[VinceGU05]

wow!! needle roller said good bye along time ago. and the rim sprocket would have looked great too.. chain is grooving the clutch drum.

I don't care who it is or was that owned it, anyone that would abuse their equipment like that unless it was life or death situation should not be allowed to own it.

You will find they didn't own it just ran it.

And if it was my saw I would charge them full cost of the repair, that is blatant destruction of property.

It was on an MS460 that belonged to a tree service. They traded the saw into my dealer and I bought it. Other than the obvious, I had to replace the clutch, and the oiler gear.

I hate to see equipment abused.

poor operators of good equipment makes me cring

thats worst one i have seen but not uncommon on the 460/461. i keep clutches and drums here for them because it seems like once a month one comes in with the drum and clutch destroyed

Is it something about the 460/461 saws or just morons operating them ?

 

[Poleman]

It's amazing how many people who use/own saws that dont have a clue about general maintenance or the common sense to stop when something isn't right....

Then they wonder why it's so expensive to fix things.
