12 years ago I had never ran a chainsaw. Needed one for around the house so I bought a blown up 026 pro and rebuilt it. Then cad hit and acquired a lot of saws and fixed them for fun. Selling some and keeping others. Needless to say, I'm well stocked on chainsaws to this day. I own 7 acres...

Went to the dump to drop a load of construction debris. On the way in out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of orange in the scrap area. Whipped around, complete metal tag stihl 044, well used but not abused. Picked it up and a guy in a loader came around the corner and saw me standing...

A few years ago my FIL was looking around for a saw bigger than a 55 to do tree work on his fence lines and timber areas. I found him a nice 288xp that he said is now his favorite saw, lol. I gave it to him with a 24” Oregon bar but he’s running into a bit bigger wood. I’d like to find him a...

Very nice stock Stihl 044. Check out the pics and let me know if there are any questions. It’s hard to get a piston pic but it looks new, you can count the oil rings. PHO $850 Shipped to the lower 48.

I picked up a west German made Makita dcs390 at an auction last weekend. Took a chance that it ran, and sure enough, fuel had been drained for storage and it’s in perfect working condition. I can’t find any info on it though. I’m assuming it’s 39cc? Looks like if something breaks I’m sol...

looking for a complete hd conversion kit for an 064, its currently got the flat style filter setup. Thanks

Here's a stock west coast red lever 044 in white oak, not sure if it's good bad or ugly. I need to keep a few punky logs around here for video making!

Picked up a jonsered 670 champ today. Feared the worst, but pulled the trigger without a thorough inspection. Didn't even try to start it. The chain was rusted to the bar but it felt like it had compression. The price wasn't bad though, so I figured what the hey. Topend is good, put some...

I was just out running a couple old antiquated saws this morning. Some things change and some things stay the same...Carry on.

What's the best 044 cylinder? I've got a 10mm ks with a single + on a saw I've got. I know ks cylinders have a good following on some models but not sure if it applies here.

I've got a Stihl 044 that is missing all of the brake mech, from band all the way to cover. I've got an ipl and it lists all the components, but is there a kit that has everything? I can't seem to find a part #.

while the price is a bit north of my expendable cash, this is a pretty impressive package. Full disclosure, I have no idea whose stuff this is. https://www.ebay.com/itm/112304816427

No idea why I stared pondering this...How many hours can a chainsaw engine run on average, in ideal conditions? I'm talking internal engine components, if the rest of the saw is kept buttoned up with no abnormal abuse and a sharp chain. Do manufacturers post data like this somewhere? I'm sure...

A rather good sized white oak fell over in my pasture the other day. It was crowded under another tree and was heavily leaning. I knew it wasn't in great shape but didn't expect it to just fall over on a nice sunny day. I drove past it down the hill to the bottom of the pasture and when I...

I have a couple hickory trees that have been topped by high winds. I know I'd like lumber from them, but am not sure the best coarse of action. I've been contemplating a chainsaw mill for quite sometime, but hickory trees around here grow tall and relatively thin and I'm worried about the...

A tree service has been widling on this tree for the past week by my brothers house. It's a Silver Maple, I stand 6 ft tall so I'm guessing the tree is 9 ft or so at the widest point. Just figured I'd share.

Acquired this 064 project a while back. Long story short, it needs a topend, but that's for another day. This one has an extended clutch coer via a piece of rubberish fabric riveted to the bottom of the cover and 3/4 wrap. Did they make the 064 in a "west coast" version? Also it's got the...

I recently picked up a Stihl usg, but I'm a bit confused on the wheel attachment. I have the 3 parts in the picture. Looking at the manual it appears I am missing a rubber o-ring that goes on the very inside. There is also a hole through the shaft that corresponds with a hole on the inner...

I've got a loop of Stihl 33rsc that I worked on a bit last week. The chain had been rocked pretty bad and needed some help. I always used the regular Stihl file holder but got myself a 3/8 husky filing guide and wanted to try it out. I started by filing the gullet back a little ways and then...
