Anybody here ever tried the Woodland Pro chain from Bailey's? 25 feet for $90. Thinking about buying some...

Thought about it, but since I can get chain made locally cheaper i dropped the idea. Looks like some good chain, I can't think of the chain maker of the chain but it's not Oregon.

I've only used Archer Australia brand bulk chain. Still have yet to see the longevity of the chain, but even if it doesn't last as long, making loops is way cheaper than buying premade loops. In less than 2 36'' stihl loops I already have my money back on a full 25' roll. It seems to stay pretty sharp, but I don't have a lot of time into that chain.

That's the chain I was think about, just couldn't remember it.

Never tried the rebranded yet but Carlton makes a good chain.

The Archer chain seems good on an 025 sized saw. Easy to sharpen and wears well.

But my Husky 359 24" bent teeth on 2 of 5 loops granted it was gnarly oak and knotty spruce where it happened.

But for the price of 3 ya get 5 so pretty much a wash.

This saw isn't really oall that special, but I thought i could give it a good home.

Freshly cleaned, painted and reassembled.

Looks like it turned out well.

What kind of paint did you use? Looks really nice. I always want to repaint my saws, but I know if I do, they wouldn't get used.

Very nice cleanup!

Thanks guys.
I used a spray can of Rustoleum Farm equipment paint. It wasn't quite the same shade of yellow, but it turned out nicely.

Thought that looked like John Deere yellow, looks good.

I swear I won't be that engineer. Worked on enough stuff to learn that I shouldn't be doing those kinds of things.

That’s What They All Say Till the Time Comes To Cut Fence.

Is there any hope for the intake boot sealing on this. It’s a new oem shindaiwa cylinder for a 488.

Need to file and sand the grove real smooth. It should seal them. That's sure has a lot of rough casting.

Like putting a new part in a gun, some fitting maybe required.
