MS440--educate me on 3/4 wrap handlebars

[72thing]

@Canadian farm boy , thanks for that information, bud. I guess those are special screws that you can't find at any hardware store or industrial supply.

I think the 3/4 wrap improved 72thing s aim. The red oak dropped about as close to planned as you can get.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.

Well, the slow boat from China pulled up to the house today and dropped this off...
Looks like the goose from the Christmas Story. Lol


Looked good once I got all the tape off. Came with the necessary hardware as well.


Was a bit sprung, not a big surprise the way it was packaged to go half way around the world. Went on with minimal effort. Also has the FarmerTec name stamped in it. Seems like it will be just fine and should work out as intended.

Not a bad looking goose, lol.
It looks pretty good to me. If i hadn't gotten the one from Heath, this is the route I was going to take.
I'm liking the 3/4 wrap so far. Having that extra hand hold is nice!

Almost forgot, the weld looked like it was done properly as well.

I had the same experience when I bought one... it arrived in the exact same packaging. It’s been on the saw for 18 months and many tanks, and seems to be holding up just fine.

Glad to hear.
