Yes, I have two different sized Oregon anvils. I have accidentally used the larger anvil a couple of times and you find out right away that it won't work on the LP chain... :D

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the jaw puller, yeah, there is no room for that. That is unfortunate that the one you have doesn't match up, I think someone on the AS thread said that you need to make sure and pull it as straight as possible. Do you have the ability to make a custom plate that you...

Oh yeah...I have repunched my fair share of links :D

I should just keep looking and post all at once what I find, the AS thread points to this as a possibility...

@BS67 I just came across a thread over on AS and it shows some home built pullers: https://arboristsite.com/threads/jonsered-chainsaw-help-70e-621-49sp.364375/

I am wondering if any three-point flywheel type puller will work on this. There was an older thread asking similar question, unfortunately all that is really there is a copy of the IPL, but that still might be a little helpful if you don't have it yet...

Yeah, if you open the orange part and there are two metal blades (I think about 3 inches each) then that is the SH 86 which can be used as a blower and vacuum. If it doesn't have them then its just a BG 86. I wonder if it doesn't have the blades if they could be added and that converted to the...

Is that the SH 56 blower/vac? Does the orange part flip up and is there an impeller in there to mulch leaves?

I can vouch for this, the most problems I have had were with the 3/8 picco / low profile, I have to take more time with it than with 3/8 or even .325. I have to go slow, use oil and watch is so I don't over flatten it or start grooving out the tie strap.

If you take a look at factory rivets, they are relatively flat and mushroomed out without cracking (for the most part - sometimes can't be helped). If you go too far then you weaken the rivet and risk the head coming off. The more you do it the more you will get the feel and the eye for it. You...

You have aftermarket caps on yours...you are no longer in the cool club....dirty!! 🤣

@Philbert hit is spot on....yes, you can delete one of the cutters facing the same way, its almost like having a very small section of skip chain, I think you can go either way, which ever you are more comfortable with. As for cracked rivet heads, I saw that more when people didn't use oil on...

No, you will not have any issues with two right hand or two left hand cutters next to each other. Loops come precut from Stihl and Husqvarna in the box like that. If the entire chain is righhanded or left handed cutters, then you may run into an issue. You can punch out bad cutters, say you hit...

That is interesting, I have an 046 and a 272 and they felt about the same to me when cutting, I actually prefer the 272, as it feels a little more balanced. I was taking both saws for firewood cutting until the 046 developed racing stripes on the piston due to an air leak. A lot of people I work...

The 61 I just worked on had the two piece coil, first time for me seeing it. The wire coating was peeling off in several places, used liquid electrical tape to get them all covered, worked pretty good.
