Exactly!

Damn...that saw is fast

That's funny, sounds like you can take the rakers down a bit lol.

We came up with our own theory over here NE IL. U file the rakers down to a specific ratio according to the decibel output of the muffler... what is secret is that ratio....what i can tell u is there is not much tie strap left on that chain. This theory is still a work in progress

Yeah, you might need to make some adjustments.
Remind me not to do any chains for you in the future.

Nothing earth shattering.....3120XP

42" .404 first cuts. Tuned to 12,800 and holding 10,500 - 11,000 in the cut.

Shakedown runs really at this point. Wanted to get it good and warm to see if it held the tune.

Weird.

I have no idea why.

Works now go figure!
Sounds great. Strong!
At the end you held the d handle before you shut it off. What is the reason for that?

To keep the pawls from catching and breaking the recoil.

Only gotta do that of a few saws. Depends on the pawl design.

Wow. OK. Thank you.

Looks real good Doc!
That the one you were selling?

 

[MustangMike]

Looks and sounds great Al, any details on what you did to it?

 

[Definitive Dave]

The weather broke enough that I got to test a new chain Dallas sent me, it has modified rakers and a clipped tail as well as square filing, it throws all the chips the right direction
I tested with 7 8 and 9 pin rims on my @Redfin MS661 and I modified a Cannon 20" belly bar to run the 9 pin rim

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice Dave. Regular gas or alkyhol?
