Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got an 084, 064 x 2 ms460, ms361 x 2, 194t, pole saw and a LOT of project saws.

Nope, gave it to my father in law to run along the husky 288 I found him. It sure was a good runner though, all my bars are stihl mount though, so it didn’t really fit the stable

12 years ago I had never ran a chainsaw. Needed one for around the house so I bought a blown up 026 pro and rebuilt it. Then cad hit and acquired a lot of saws and fixed them for fun. Selling some and keeping others. Needless to say, I'm well stocked on chainsaws to this day. I own 7 acres...

Grease? For what? If there’s no visible damage. Put a new clutch on and see how it runs. Doesn’t sound like a plastic saw, so it didn’t melt.

Thanks, I’ve never seen them but I’ll have to keep an eye out and put out traps next year. I’ve got quite a few hundred + year old hickory and oaks on my property that is hate to lose. This one was at the edge of this grove.

I figured it was going to be hollow in the bottom but it’s solid as a rock. I’m going to turn a bunch to firewood and mat drag a section of the trunk to a local mill. Very top is rotted out where it broke off. I kinda wonder what happened to it, looks like it might have taken a lightening...

Dead oak tree I’ve been meaning to clear out in my pasture, the top has been broken off and hanging in it for 2 years. Today was the day. It’s funny to think when I first logged onto these forums as a newby I was never intending to slay big wood with an 084.

So you bought it?

Depends on the style of holder, but often I coil them up and hold them in that form with well placed vice grips. Get it in position and release them and hope the genie doesn’t come back out of the bottle.

Well, I actually didn’t know there even was a rule as I didn’t see a sign. The saw was 20ft from being in my truck when the loader guy saw me. I asked him one time to clarify that I can’t take anything and he confirmed. Since he wasn’t going anywhere I wasn’t going to try to sneak it out. If...

I had 5 quarters on me lol.

This was a county landfill that’s pretty buttoned up. The guy in the loader worked smashing down trash in a series of dump bins where people without a dump rig unloaded their crap. He was still in the loader 20 minutes later in the general vicinity and the saw was still sitting there. He may...

Went to the dump to drop a load of construction debris. On the way in out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of orange in the scrap area. Whipped around, complete metal tag stihl 044, well used but not abused. Picked it up and a guy in a loader came around the corner and saw me standing...

I don’t know if it’s a one or another kind of thing green foam or plastic baffle. Did you find out what was going on with the saw originally?
