Good morning from the Northwoods, sunny and cool.
Scrapped another Stihl last night, the second in as many days.

What happened to it?

So, you should stick with Huskies?

 

[Woodwackr]

Snowing hard, maybe 1/2” so far but temp barely at freezing so it won’t last long.

Just a guess...

Better yet pay the vet to do it

Gets expensive and the closest vet is a pretty good ways. When you’ve raised hounds, you get used to nasty stuff!

I’ve seen those vids there’s 2 ways internal and external. I’ve done the external on a dog we had that kept dragging her ass .
I’m glad I didn’t have to do it often

I’ve always done the external. Not sure why, but females tend to have more trouble with it. Not sure if males use it to mark their territory more so it doesn’t get stopped up or what.

That’s not good. We have one *b-word that tends to stay impacted if we don’t stay on top of things. It’s a nasty procedure but keeping it “expressed” keeps it from getting infected. Fat content in the food can make a difference. She is on a low fat food for other reasons. I’ll leave it to you to YouTube it. Wear gloves and DO NOT DO IT INDOORS!

The positive thing is that it has been painless so far, and that the abscess burst. There is nothing to indicate that she is sick, she is herself 100%, eating, drinking, and is a clown. Now all that is needed is to cure her with antibiotics, and she is also going to the vet in 14 days for the emptying of the anal gland.

I've started working on a project that I picked up today, 246 - 95. I paid $100 including shipping.
It's very dirty, needs a thorough wash, is actually very complete, cylinder and piston look good, maybe one of my better purchases. Will get gaskets, seals, hoses and the usual things that need replacing.

It will be ported, and be a summer saw as a replacement for my original 246 that was stolen a couple of years ago

What happened to it?

On a MS390, the piston got battered by foreign material and stuck the top ring. Saw was very well used and not worth the effort.
The other a MS260 was in for porting and did not make the grade, with hitches in the bottom bearings and such. Another direction was deemed prudent.

So, you should stick with Huskies?

It can happen to anything, there's plenty of them out in the bone yard too. Have a used husky inbound with bad compression, hopefully it can be fixed, so it can be ported.

Well...
Have the most beautifully restored Stihl 064 on my bench now that you'll ever see.
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

You put an additional letter in front of the word "old". Might wanna fix that.

How does stuff like that work? Is it insulated, or buried below the freeze line or, electrically traced/warmed or....

Definitely isn’t a good day for it. Better get it covered up today, supposed to get cold again.
