Ps....converting to a non homeowner's safety chain (double raker) the saw comes with and the only chain you can buy in the USA for it to a Panther chain we buy from England...makes a giant difference.

I have owned 5 ms 150's and had basic mods on them. 12" is the sweet spot as mentioned and it is non sensible to put on a 14" or more. That should be left for the 193, 200, 201 top handles. Randy just ported my ms 151, pretty much the same saw, and I just got it back this afternoon and holy...

No money made around here last few years because of glut of ash borer killed ash trees.

Excellent! Great video.

Found it (my fave)

I love the TT and it is on my list to go one year. I follow it every year and it must be 10 times more exciting in person. I have ridden 4 Triumph Speed Triples over 18 years and sold the last one an '11 1050 (had an 05 1050 too) a year or so ago to try an 07 Buell Lightning xb12s. I really...

Just added a brandy new ms 362 cm to complete my collection (yeah, I am done...right) and after a few days of running this my opinion is registered above....what a dog!!!! Yes I have been spoiled from a few years of having all my saws modded and my 261 with just a basic mod will blow this saw...

Also, that raker has been ground without using the tunnel part of the wheel and like you I have found...who cares...as long as the height has been reduced. Otherwise the raker wheels would have a big hollow ground in them and get tossed much quicker.

I guessed A reading the previous page notification first. Hand filing would be much smoother imo because of imperceptible jumping by the grinder. But the machine is obviously used by someone who knows what they are doing. In most cases if someone was doing a lot of chains commercially the...

Just really cool looking stuff too.

I own a 25 ton National 990 rear mount (wouldn't have bought otherwise) with 105 ft. main reach and a 47' jib giving slightly over 150 of reach but diminishes quite a bit with the jib on the chart. With my Teco Vanguard 75 footer I can pick apart a lot of *s-word quickly and safely. If a bigger...

How do a guy get email notification of posts? I signed up for it...Oh well. Anyhow..I posted a pict of my grinder on the previous page. I know you don't want to see a pict of rakers lol.

ps...I do all my rakers with the grinder.
