Thanks for jumping in on this jacob. I plan on taking that washer off next. I have the shorter bearing that I can use, but I really don’t nave to use the saw, it was my dad’s and for the age of that old girl I would say that she runs like a new one.

Having a cold one... again

Howdy guy, always great to see those sweet looking Stihls. I’ve been lucky and finally got my wife to break down and let me get a 261cm. Yes, it cost me more on the “honey-do” list than the cost of the saw but what the heck. I was wondering if anyone had an IPL for this saw since I intend to...
