My Ram has no dip stick or oil drain plug in the pan just a fill tube, I use a vacuum pump to suck a quart or two out through the fill tube every year and add back whatever I pump out.

Yes mine the vice and grinder head swivels left and right as well, for 3/8 I just leave one set up for left and one for right as it quicker to just move the chain from grinder to grinder rather than keep moving the grinder vice and head from right to left. I do not grind much .325 so readjust...

I have one laying around that I bought about 40 years ago used it once or twice and went back to free hand filing.

I tried one of those at a GTG and it was quite nice, I do not recall the price however.

Yes and more is better if one has the space the money and need. One set up for 3/8 left cutter one for 3/8 right cutter, third set up .325 does not get used as much as I don't run a lot of .325 and the fourth setup for rakers. One of those automated chain grinders would be cool as well but the...

100% correct but does work and simple as long as one does not get too aggressive while filing.

Start off by using the same bar gauge. I can also put a stick 1x1 1x2 between the bottom of the bar and chain to tighten it up if needed.

I have been clamping a spare or a cut off length of junk bar in the bench vice.

I have ran down to -10f without the shutter and never had icing problems, not many winters anymore that it does not warm up to at least 0f during the day. My reasoning was if I iced up the carb it was an easy fix unthaw it, if I forgot to remove the shutter above 50 and cooked the saw it was...

I had spaced out on this thread. The $92 ebay Joncutter that I purchased back in June has been going the entire summer doing tree removals. Only real complaint/hiccup was the clutch spring being a bit tight and was adjusted with a scrench :meparto:.

If it is the combo chain spinner breaker HF had them on close out a year or two back for like $30.

Thank you for the offer, I sat and bs d with Rooster from Council Tool about wedge bangers at a GTG back in June, going off what he said at that bs session he thought they might have a 4ish lb based on their 5lb wedge banger around Oct-Dec of this year. Are you coming to the Mn GTG in Dec as...

Still holding out on Council Tool to see what they come out with for a lighter weight wedge banger, otherwise I have been thinking about adding a bit more poll weight and width to something around 3lbs with 26-28" straight handle. I have seen some nice custom axes being offered but I am not one...

Not sure if just dumb luck or what is going on, recently trying a Stihl ES light I have encountered way more times throwing the chain.

:dogpile: I use Camel Frost cans for the same.:thumbup:
