IIRC many years ago zogger was cutting a big cottonwood and it fell the wrong way back into a pond like that. Can still hear him laughing.Any of you scroungers looking for some wood, coming down tomorrow. Should be ready to burn in a few yrs since the property owner waited til it was full of sap.
Bring your saws, proof of insurance, and be prepared to repair the yard if you damage it. I know what I've got, HVCW(highly valuable cotton wood).

Could i con you into taking a black gum home for firewood.
the unloader/changeover adjustment should under the small plug. Big plug should be the check valve. I'd check both out.Thanks for the video, I learned something, guess I'm still alive.
So watching that makes me think the unloader valve cap is missing. Could it be missing and then the unloader valve backed out causing the issue.
May or may not get to that today, gotta get that cottonwood down and as much out as possible if the ground is frozen good enough, the ground is pretty spongy since it's 100% clay
. If it goes well I have a couple at the house that I was hoping get this winter when it froze up, which never really happened when I was available. I figure if I'm gonna have a fire, might as well have a big one.Looks like your first, got your proof of insurance
. Good times lol.

I've probably done worse. The deal I have on one of my hay fields is I remove anything that falls out into the fields. Lets just say it's not always hickory!
yes sir. Still had my dads , but seldom used it so I passed it on to my nephew who is an awesome guy and an avid night fisherman. Told him he owed me a catfish!
I used to travel to do warranty work for the Class 7/8 truck upfitter that I used to work for and we would check large bags of tools, never carried them on though and we often got searched because we could not check the battery packs, those had to carry on for some reason, so one of us would always have a back full of power tool batteries
I have my grandfathers slant fin 044, which is in my profile pic. It is a nice saw, it took some getting used to as I was used to running my low rpm torque monster dinosaurs and dads tractor torque 702 echo. The Stihl loves the rpms so I was constantly stalling the chain in big stuff until I learned that the Stihl does not come alive until the others are about finished RPM wise.
You have a dang good eye, I searched an 026 cylinder on eBay and it matches that one exactly. Hopefully it is not trashed, I will get the plastics for it if it'll run
Totally different saws. 026 is a pro model, 028 is in the clamshell series (awful to work on).
I still have my slant fin, red lever, 044 that I purchased new a long time ago. You can ask Matt or SVK how it runs.
028 has a standard cylinder, split magnesium case. Don't know how hard they are to work on though. My understanding was the clamshells are the 029/290s and the like.
Please share!
The 290-390 definatly are clam shell design. Rebuilt a few of them already for guys here at work.
Not the old 028's you must be thinking about the ms 270.
