No, haven't had time to look for the dremel bit I need; and, I don't get in too much of a hurry anyways. It is normally not a problem unless the bar is buried. Also, I did finish bucking the big oak but need to free up a bar for noodling.

Another thing....the homeowner is an elderly couple. The man has had 3 hip replacement surgeries and a bad back. He told me he is not in any hurry and to take all the time I need. They are extremely grateful I am removing the tree at no charge. I wish I had some heavy equipment because they have a giant root ball in their front yard; and I have no idea what they are going to do about it.

Fire for the root ball?

There is no good way to deal with the root ball.
It will have to be detached, hauled away and disposed of, then the gaping hole and left will have to be filled, tamped, and re seeded.
Or, it could be flipped back into its hole, and they could just tidy up around it and mow around it and let nature take it's course.
Sort of depends on what they're willing to put up with versus willing to pay for.

Sold one saw on CL a few years ago. While the sale went well, I didn't care for selling it. Right now funds are going toward Bumblebee.

Well we have his answer.

One!, 1 !, wth!

Stihl snobs are willing to fund all sorts of projects.[emoji108]

The 028 and the MS210C both need carb kits. Victims of stale fuel mixed 16:1 (estimate). Yikes.

I have only had one stand straight back up and fill the hole; it was impressive. I was hoping this would do the same but didn't happen. It may be able to be tipped back up but not sure, my guess is not likely.

Can you get a chain around it and pull it back into the hole with your truck?

That crossed my mind. His house is in the way to get a straight pull, so I would be pulling at an angle. There is nothing to anchor a snatch block to either,,,other than the brick in his house or his porch support beam

Got the 210C running. Carb inlet screen was plugged with some real fine 'mud'.[emoji848]

It has one of them 'pull and wait a sec' starters. About threw it across the yard first couple tries.

Rebuilt and installed the 028's carb but too hot to continue today.

I have stayed out of the woods this year so far as I'm not wanting to deal with ticks. One day at work I was parked on the edge of the parking lot which had trees along it and I ended up with a tick on me. That was in early May.

Are you kidding? This is Southern Missouri. Tick and Chigger capital of the world. Ticks everywhere, even in the cornflakes.
