The tree was cut down two years ago and spitting was possible within a month after that, no seasoning required before splitting. Then I let the split stock sit for six to eight months after that before I tried to burn any of it. The fires were all hot, almost the same as hedge. It was also great...

Found a Pic of my Bradford Pear after "I Saw A Lot" brought it in, all ready for splitting: This tree was 35 years old before being dropped. Here's about one-fourth of it after splitting: Mixed in with some locust, of course. Both of us love burning these hardwoods in our stoves.

I was forced to burn my Bradford pear wood after a strong storm blew down the tree, over 30 years old. After drying and splitting the logs, it made fabulous firewood for my stove. Easy to split but takes at least six months to dry. No spark throwing or crackling like mulberry, I gave it an A.

No less than 40 years old. I restored one about 12 years ago.

On the other hand, go back a few years and check out this one: Poulan 4000. Tough as nails if I do says so.

One of my good friends has a Husky 455. I serviced it once. He loves the saw and uses it all the time. Not cheap: new ones run $600 with sales tax.

You may also be running low on compression. That 021 Stihl saw could be over 25 years old, made from 1990 to 2002.

I sold this Echo CS-4500 a few years back. The new owner loves it and it keeps going and going...: I recall it had a bar oil booster button. He says he seldom uses that but it works. He paid me less than $200 for this saw.

Sold my Husky 350 and the new owner loves it. He gave me $250 and two other saws to restore. That was less than what the saw was worth, but I seldom used it. Chain loop was brand new. He's a new local friend and that's worth something also. I also added a shop-made muffler support: I modified...

A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, ‘We were the first in space!” The American said, “We were the first on the moon!” The Blonde said, “So what? We’re going to be the first on the sun!” The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their...

I suppose so. My "outlier" keeps going and going: I love this saw. I replaced the top end with a big bore kit. That made it a monster. The 32" bar and chain is shown here.

I have run into the same thing. Poor design to say the least.

That Pic of my MS 361 was taken when the younger Bush was still President and sent me and LOML a cash stimulus check. I used that dough to buy the saw. Every year it gets used. I added an outer bumper spike in 2014. Still a great saw. I am currently servicing an MS 362c M-tronic in my shop...

The other day I was in the Auto Zone parts store. A lady comes in and asks for a seven ten cap. We all looked at each other and said, “What’s a seven ten cap?” She said, “You know, it’s right on the engine. Mine got lost some how and I need a new one.” “What does it do?” the counter clerk...
