Thank you everyone. Just soaking the chain in a lye solution which took off all the pitch and other crud made the chain sharper. The gullets were jamed full. Just about to sharpen it back up and head back down to clear more trees tomorrow

The fact they are on the ground does not help

No just standard chain.

I went down to Punta Gorda yesterday to help with the cleanup. I took my MS 250 with me. It worked well until I came to a palm tree. The tree quickly dulled two chains and my bar got overheated. I am assuming I need a new bar. I have posted a couple pictures. Yes the medal is blued and you can...

I may be in in the market for a new pressure washer. Trying a new spark plug on the 10 year old craftsman one but it keeps getting harder to start. Plus it does not have wheels I went by the sthil dealer and they are about 150 more than ones in the big box store. Are they worth the extra money?

I would urge you to check your insurance. If there is an accident or fire you will not be covered. Also your posts in these forums can be found by a good investigator and used not to just deny coverage but to cancel your policy

I have the sthil combi system. Had it for 6 years now . Last lead I figured I broke even vs buying cheaper big box store version and it is still going strong as of today.

I have a brigs and sraton generator. It was last used in Hurricane Irma where I changed the oil daily. After use I ran the tank dry and changed the oil with Briggs. And Stratton 10w30 oil. Do I need to change the oil every couple of years without use or just leave the clean oil in the unit. It...

I don’t have the answer but you might get better results posting in the chainsaw repair thread

I am open to any other ideas or recommendations. I am looking for something to keep some of the finer junk out of my safety glasses.

Does anyone have experience with these. I have been having problems with dust getting past my safety glasses. I need to go over prescription glasses.

Thank you for the link. I bought the part back in May but just now had time to fix it. The broken one had a huge bubble in the plastic right where it broke. I am surprised it did not break sooner. I really appreciate the knowledge that people freely give out on this forum.

I just purchased a Fiskars garden pick. Going to use it to work on a palm tree stump that is to close to the house to burn and access to small for a stump grinder. I have been using stump root on it. The factory edge is half sharp and half obtuse. Should this be axe sharp or more obtuse.

I have a Husqvarna 125 BVX. The cruise control lever broke just a month out of warranty. Is this something that a homeowner can fix. I already have the gutter cleaning kit for it but my yard is so small that it only gets heavy use a couple weekends a year when I vacuum the leaves for my compost...
