Dude next door is a Stihl guy. Does home repair/construction stuff and we help each other out. I work on his equipment and he does stuff on my house I'd rather not tackle anymore. So after 30 years of turning away Stihls, (local stihl dealer was walking distance from my shop), now I'm working...

But more to the point, do you want to eat it? Back when gtg's became popular, food prep rivaled saw prep as far as time was concerned. I remember doing pot's of Chili, ribs on the smoker, brats on the fire. As that has waned, and Walt and I are rarely joined by anyone else, we've made things...

OK, I'm going to ape Powerstroke's Husky 50 thread with excessive pics and bits of info. My friend Jason asked me to create a nice 670 from these 2 cadavers, so that's what we're going to do. Today was tear down and discovery. Must be enough stuff here for a decent saw, right? Both saws were...

Really just one snowblower thread? Always thought they were a good fit with the whole wood heat routine. Think of the Husky vs stihl type debates we could have with Ariens vs Toro vs Simplicity. 🤔 Either way, I drained my Ariens out and have officially declared the end of winter. Gas went...

Snow is receding and I'm getting itchy to go out and get something done. Built these 2 oddball models and thought it time to do some actual work. Decent size white oak that had a pronounced lean to it "volunteered". Plus not much snow in this area. No, I certainly didn't drop it with the axe!

Howdy boys. I ran this idea by Randy earlier in the year and with the calendar moving along nicely, we're going to have ourselves a little retirement sale. Going to close the store at the end of the year and the long range plan is to e-bay all of the remaining. NLA/NOS Husky and Jonny parts...

Think this belongs over here and it's worthwhile info for Jonsered guys. Plus threads over are less subject to "clutter". ;) Ordered some Jonny parts through the Husky dealer portal and got a notation I'd never seen before: "SR Sales Dropship Only" Turns out that Husky has begun moving the...

OK, I know everyone is waiting for some info on these things and there's a few things I can share. 592 product codes are now "live" and in the system. So, we can get some idea on pricing. Availability is that nothing is able to ship until July 26. Without getting into all of many SKU's, price...

I been waiting for this one. The service bulletin on the 555/562 air filter update has been released. Pretty simple solution. New air filter holder and they are using the air filters from the 550M2. When all of these backordered saws start shipping, they should all have the new stuff. Changes...

WTF is it with all these city people who refer to chains as blades? Where did that come from? "I need a blade for my saw." "Do you mean a bar or a chain?" Some goof just came in and says he's picking up some blades he dropped off to have sharpened. So, I'm looking on the shelf with the...

Any guesses fellas?

Goes without saying that I'm not a big fan of aftermarket top ends. Always prefer OEM. But there are times when AM kits have their place. Especially when OEM kits are NLA, as in the case of the 262/257. And there are very few AM options out there for this chassis. Unlike the 372 that seems to...

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't stand to have anyone help me when doing my own wood. First is that it seems no one can stay on length. I've always cut to 16" and have a good eye for it. But it's difficult for anyone to stay on length if the person they are helping cuts to a different...

We did run into some problems. Randy said he didn't take much material off, but we set the cylinder (Randy's on the right) next to a stock one, and we all thought it looked a little on the small side. And there was a lot of left over stuff too. Here's the leftovers.

Kind of curious how everyone else is making out. Been pretty mild here in the Northeast, at least as you read the numbers. Median temps don't tell much of a story but the extremes do. Over night lows are an example as there have been more than twice as many nights this year where the temp stayed...

The good old 372 is now officially NLA from Husky. System had been accepting orders the last couple months and posting way out ship dates. But all those orders are now canceled cause the saws aren't coming. Warehouse up here hasn't had any since Sept when I got my last order, which was the next...

Intro: These saws keep derailing Dave's 365/372 Chinese thread, so I thought they ought to have their own. This isn't a step by step build thread like Joe, Steve and others do. Just a place where we can share and catalog all the info we have to help members building project saws on this chassis...
