Good morning.

Good morning folks,
slept so-so, am in the chainsaw projects today, washing, getting ready, hopefully changing the bearing in the nos 357 crankcase.
Later I will drive out the logs, I will take them in the timber claw lol

There are little posts in the chainsaw section here, are we dying out?
Don't people bother?
Should we start making build threads?
Do we need a seal tool kit thread idea?

Gaskets came in yesterday, so I can put my 357 cases together as well. Still have more parts to come in and acquire yet.

Good Saturday to you NSPers. Finally popped the top on the 268 my friend's dad gave me. Was gonna kit the carb, but found NIB 260a on the bay for $50. I'll kit the old one eventually but for now it's easy button for me.

That's why you are the handy dood...

Anyway, the OOPS truck brought my @Stump Shot via @Sawdust Man 346xp today. Didn't have time to fire it up for a proper test...

Bolted on a gen u wine husky varney x-force bar n x-cut chain and gave it a go. This thing is a race car! Did some limbing, ranging from about 4" down to stuff a normal person would cut with loppers. If it wasn't so hot&wet, I'd find a big log to bury it in, just for fun.

Now it's to to go get the new string trimmer and figure what's for lunch.

Thanks it's been year's since they've been reasonable usually 80.00+
I regretted it because they were 36.00 back then and I only bought 2 for the 266 and 268 Steve ported

Pardon Our Interruption...

I just bought 2 more
One of these decades I'll put together like 10 266/268/272 parts piled up.
Get it ported they are a fine light 24" falling saw.

I came here originally for the tech help, but I know what I know now so really am only interested in checking you lot aren't dead currently.

Any tech stuff is a useful resource tho. I've tried to pay it forward, I have a 357 thread in here somewhere actually.

Yep. Forums are pretty much doomed.

I plan on doing a build thread on the scrap bin ms260 I have once I get to it.
I know they are basic saws but maybe someday it will help someone. I know I've heard from a few my 046 thread helped them figure out the chain brake linkage and such so it's worth the effort.

Gaskets came in yesterday, so I can put my 357 cases together as well. Still have more parts to come in and acquire yet.

I think it's important that we do build threads, even though it's been done before.
Many threads are old, and some of the saw models we're going to build have, or will soon have, parts that are NLA.
It can be a bit of detective work to find NLA NOS parts.

So even though the threads have been done before, new ones on the same topic can be interesting.

My 357 and 340/346 also need parts before I can make a build thread, but if Steve gets started before me with the 357 I might just join the thread he makes.

I just think it's important that we create something on the forum.

While I do agree with you, I also find little upside to do so when you never know when you'll get harangued and all the fun instantly goes away. Even if it is meant in the spirit of good fun, it can be taxing to the creator and his/her content lost in the shuffle. It only takes one time to have effect, fortunately it is not every time occurrence.
I really would like to do one on the 575 to 576 project to lay out what it takes and the outcome of such an undertaking. Maybe I'll give it a try?
Am uploading a new video of a "true" 562xp mkII as I write this, I haven't done a cut report in some time and believe this one is worth the mention. I will do this and see if there's others that did not get done worth some attention as well.

The last time I did a build thread....like 3 people even noticed. LOL

Maybe something less than a build thread would be in order. Where a lesser detailed report that's a bit more generalized in nature without more specific details being gave out.

I've thought that if we could have a blog of sorts on our profile where we can do any build thread or write up we like, without a peanut gallery that stays linked to us would be nice. A person can then easily view what the builder is doing and with what saws.

Finally got the dock and then boat in the water last night and today took our first cruise of the season. Water is very low, some sections of our creek under 2ft.

Had Kathy's new seat ,floorboards and sissy bar i stalled on her new bike. Now we can ride 2 up. If it ever quits raining.

I understand there are divided opinions, and it is not difficult to understand that one does not bother, when the response is microscopic.

It was easier to create glowing threads, when Stihl or Husqvarna came out with something new that was a little groundbreaking.

I think, however, that we need to think a little new, as Steve says maybe blogs, or redo building now that nla starts with popular models.

It's nice to see that in 2025 or whatever year it is now, they still make real motorcycles.

Evening men. It’s me and the kids while my wife is out of town for work. We worked around here getting things straightened up from planting and did some troubleshooting on the sprayer. Had a control valve sticking and one boom was calibrating about 3 gallons/acre less. Found a dang wood bee in the screen for that boom, lol. I guess it got in while we were filling up or got in the nurse tank. I rigged up a Y strainer for the hose so it doesn’t happen again. The tank has minnows swimming in it now, lol.

Dinner by dad tonight!
