For the record it was seven years and three months 🤣

Well years later I finally got the clutch off with no damage. The seal on the clutch side is pretty crispy, and it wasn’t from the torch being out to it because all of the wood shavings weren’t burnt. I just wanted to update the thread for future reference.

Hello Jim. Were doing pretty good on this end. My saws are feeling neglected though. About all I’ve done is cut firewood, but I’m not gonna get to do much of that before next winter even. I put up a lot before this winter because I knew my wife would be home on maternity leave and I thought we...

Hi Mark! I’m planning on being there, but I doubt the CT will. Never could get the clutch off and haven’t tried since. This one is really stuck. Heat cycles for days, puller tension for weeks, wrapping on the puller, and all the miracle penetrants wouldn’t budge it. I have been a bad Chainsaw...

It probably shouldn’t be centered but fully aft or opposite the pull of the chain. Look at the wear and use your judgment, there are all kinds of forces at work there so I don’t know. Also, if the loctite calls for an activator then I would order it up and use it as well. I know with some of...

Are those the parts from kiwibro?

Just checking in to see if you have had time to price shipping?

5 on 4.5"? What sizes? What backspacing?

Okay, haven't heard back yet, and it's Christmas, so I'm not surprised. I will keep you posted when I hear something.

The second video is cut off it seems, but I want the parts in the first video. I sent you a PM...

I would be interested in seeing the same tests done but with varying chain tension. I think mdavlee is on the right track- but maybe the problem could be overcome with more chain tension. And maybe the belly bar gets faster with less chain tension. Thanks for sharing all the great info...

Let's see 'em.

I've been able to stay away from belt buckles. There is a lot of different ones and they made them a lot longer. I think Stihl is still making them, right? Lighters and watch fobs are cool too. Has anyone actually worn a watch fob though? Be honest
