Only picture I got of this one. Got a video but i cant load it here. Pretty good size elm on my uncles place. It up and died last year and we've got some potential weather coming this week so he wanted it down. Probably 30" across the stump. Had a really wide face cut because in terrible at...

There's a chick that works the stihl parts counter at the dealer I go to most of the time, she's actually pretty good. Most of those saws referenced though are older saws, with the exception of one or two. I doubt most people would even know the models. We're not really heavy into saw...

Interesting. I figured it would need it for the rings to seat properly.

Swung by the local polaris (also a stihl, echo, Toro, altoz, some off brand blue tractor/excavator) dealer yesterday to pick up an oil change for my ranger and while I was there I figured I'd order a new base gasket and set of rings for my 462. Base gasket will be here after Thanksgiving. Rings...

My clutch cover is broke in the same spot. I keep an eye out for them but rarely see one. Have yet to find a good one. They're magnesium correct, or are they aluminum? I could probably weld it if it's aluminum.

044/440's have been a favorite of mine sine the first time I ran one as a kid. Still want one. Even though I really have enough for my use already. Good thing I didn't check the for sale ads yesterday. I'd probably have less money in my pocket. That wasn't a bad deal at all.

Would you take a husqvarna 350 in trade ? I got it burned up from a friend. Cylinder cleaned up well and I put a new meteor piston in it. 45mm. New bearings,seals and updated the intake boot. That was the cause of the failure in the first place. I used tree monkeys method of widening the...

Had an echo 660 that was starting to have coil problems run backwards once. Backfired in the cut and just quit cutting. Pulled it out and revved it a couple times and it nosed down when I'd hit the trigger. That's when I noticed the chain running in the wrong direction lol. Shut it off then...

Primers are worth more than gold right now lol. That being said I've got some heavy 22 cal bergers I'd trade towards a saw!

Tape I used on the handle. You never know when you might want to saw through powerlines or something.

Painted up, taped up and together again. I either need to get the big clutch cover or make a flap for this one. It peppers you pretty good on an under cut.

I'm not sure about 7/8 but jd squared did offer a short radius set of dies for 3/4 tubing. I just measured a piece of 3/4 I had in the shop, measures about 1" od. The dies almost cost as much as the bender though.

Welded out after I took these pics. Welds weren't nothing to brag about but that's okay. A grinder and paint will make a welder what he ain't. Think I need to change gas lenses in my rig or something. Might have had something to do with this tubing also. Ran real trashy. Made it hard to get...

Jd squared. That's 1/2 aluminum tube. Measures 9/16 inside and I think judy under 13/16 od. Bent it with 3/4 dies though. I don't think he has 1/2 dies for it. Wish he did, would make a little tighter radius which would be nice. Still haven't welded it out. Doing flooring in my house this...
