Feel free to share some pics of these wrapped handles. Thanks

Thanks, just bought a coupla rolls of that Cinelli orange tape. Looks grippy. I dont mind a smaller handle on something 60 cc, but a hefty 81 cc's it should've been a larger diameter handle.

Interesting. Never even heard of cork tape. What advantages with cork over the other types?

Hi all, I have a cs 8000 that I've been sorting out. Fixing things I dont like. The handle is too small and would like to wrap it. What're yall using? Can I go right over the existing rubber, or do I have to cut it off? I've notice there's dedicated chainsaw handle tape and all sorts of other...

Slinging gravel from both tires. No more one-wheel-peel-blllllllllllsht! No chirping or clutch chatter turning on asphalt. Glad I don't have to get another truetrac limited slip. Dem btches are expensive. Cheap fix:

Woah, free hat and a kind note in the box. Finished up. Gotta wait 24 hrs before I can add gear oil.

Nice! Yep I've used right stuff almost exclusively since 2012 on all sortsa "stuff". It also has a crazy below zero rating. Something like -60?! Though not fuel resistant, I've sealed up many chainsaws with it as well.

Many of these boots I'm testing are purdy flimsy in the shank. The most flimsy are the Carolinas. For climbing, the only ones with a shank rigid enough in the arch area are both pairs of Danners, the Redwings and the Chippewas.

So weird: both my detroit truetrac front limited slip and this ford rear limited slip rebuild kit call for conventional gear oil. Both manufacturers said do not use synthetic gear oil.

Anybody ever use this as a diff cover sealant?: https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/speciality-gasket-makers/permatex-gear-oil-rtv-gasket-maker-3-oz/ "Because gear oil has friction modifiers that break down normal RTV" Gonna give it a try because I am adding 1 bottle ah friction...

Not really of any use for a firewood operation. It's a valuable saw for climbers and compact/cheap to ship anywhere. 201's sell fast. Might sell it and get into another used 60 cc saw. There's a lighly used shindaiwa-timberwolf in the classified for $225. Phenomenal firewood saw...

Been in the mid to upper 80's for weeks. The only boot that I can work in is the Georgia G 8010 low heel logger. Everything else, insulated or not, is just too warm. So lightweight, I could run a marathon in these affordable gems. Danner just raised prices again. The super rainforest was $470...

Dang man! That's a rough go. We're middle-aged men here. We don't fear the carburetor. Yank that hair-pullin sht out of the engine bay and get back to the basics: 327 chevy with a well tuned quadrajet. U could have er runnin in 2 weeks or less.

Put it on a trailer and drop it off with an LS swap-shop guru. Even though you're a skilled technician, you deserve a break.

Hey man, I don't want to get too sappy but there's this 2 compact-disc album from the 90s that's really special. One particular song, the lyrics will really uplift you if you're struggling with bills, the repo man, a break-up, constipation or whatever: Wutang Clan Song titile: dog shi t "But...
