The original 500 cover was a modified 661 cover I believe, but it leaked in the rain. And then a couple years ago they redesigned it so that it fit better. The latest one would be the third iteration if it fits under the stock cover

Haven’t filed rakers in 7-8 years.

I think they can get pretty blunt/dull and still cut. Remember the knotheads in the sharpening group that were snapping the rakers off with vise grips? 😂

Way better than rooting for one of those overranked red teams

This guy is good to go, for what it’s worth. About 10 years ago he donated a saw to a waffle fundraiser and I chose it. Everything went great

That, and he was a faller, not a landing guy. They are always cutting trees in the middle of the woods that haven’t been dragged through the mud. Pine and spruce is pretty easy on a chain

461 has the more current style front fed transfer ports. 046 and 460 are side fed and identical other than flippy caps. Most of the parts other than the recoil, cylinder and case are the same among the 3

Interesting when you think about what it turned into. The 460 and 461 are widely considered two of the best saws ever made

Same same

That thing will last forever under normal firewood duty. Nice score

Yeah he likes saying that a little bit too much so, no

I know it’s been mentioned a few times in this thread already, but it’s hard to catch up on it all and it’s worth repeating. Grind with the radius portion on the edge of the wheel, not with the side of the wheel. You want to leave a C shape, not a J shape. And if you only grind with the radius...

Yep I wouldn’t try it on the green wheels. Easy enough to re profile the edge to expose new grit

Nothing wrong with offering less. All he has to say is no if he doesn’t want to let go of it

Yep I would believe so. A fella in one of the Facebook groups sent me some grinding wax. Does about the same job as oil, but it’s a bunch cleaner. When I’m sanding I still use oil because I want the surface to remain wet for keeping the sandpaper clean
