That saw has left a wee stain under it on the bench, but whether it was the cap leaking or the tank I can't say. Personally, when I needed a new tank for my 044 I went for oem and don't regret it in the slightest.

I just now noticed it changed F A G (as in the brand) bearings to "slacker bearings".

Many moons ago I was determined to be a logger, and my dad mentioned that to a logger he knew. The guy mulled it over a minute and told him this little anecdote with instructions to pass it on to me. A man had a severe head injury and his brain was badly damaged by it. While he was at the...

What do I need those beams for, you ask? Planter boxes, powers that be requested 4x8 (3' long end boards and 8' long side boards) made out of 4-6" wide slabs 14-18" tall. The log sizes dictated the actual dimensions, at 18" wide I'd get 1 beam per log. As it was I averaged 3 beams per log...

I'm just about sworn off of chainsaw milling. In the future if I run across projects like this I'm going to talk to my buddy with a bandsaw mill and see if I can steal it for a bit. It took me and a neighbor 2.5 full days to mill 15 11' x 14" x 5" beams with a 660 and an alaskan mill. I've still...

Heavier than a 250, power's darn near the same. My dad's 445 has been a reliable tank for years, but with both of them wearing 18" .325 b/c combos my MS250 is a bit lighter. That being said, I know of 2 445's that are 15 or so years old with a good amount of use and have needed almost no...

Yes, I've got one that you can have if you want it. I'm positive on rust free, sorta probably guessing on the dent free.

I've been watching that for days, I keep thinking "It can't get any worse" and then it does.

Well, it's better than a drag stripper like Dallas.

Having access to the right sorta tool makes a job a whole lot easier.

After telling myself I need to sell off a few rigs since I have way too many projects, I innocently walked into a buddy's shed to grab some canning jars for him. One day later I was dragging this guy outta the shed: Compression seems kinda low so it'll need some work, but for the whopping sum...

I may be wrong, I didn't think there were different plastic flags for 288's. I know the 395 flags were the ticket to putting a full-wrap on a 272, but I'm not confident on 288's.

Drink can of beer, unscrew brass thingy, snippy circle of beer can smaller than brass thingy, screw brass thingy back in, drink another can of beer to celebrate.

395 flag is the same/correct flag for a full wrap 288, if I recall right.

One thing I do on my saws is make the muffler outlet hole the same size as the inside of the deflector. Does it make a huge difference? Maybe not, but on a 350 or 372 style Husky I'd say it doubles the size of the muffler outlet. Also, I always run screens. They're required to cut on gov't land...

I've got a 36" Windsor bar with 2 new and 1 very lightly used loops of Stihl 3/8 chisel chain I'd cut loose, if you're interested I can get pics this weekend.

If you've got it when the gtg rolls around I'll take it. Mebbe I'll even get a MS361 before then.....

I definitely will, shoe horning a 24v and hopefully an Allison into a Highboy will be interesting to say the least.
