The Swap Meet Thread

[MustangMike]

All my 24" and 28" bars are Stihl .063. My 20" bars are .050. I wanted to go .063 with my 36" bars, but no one around here had them, so I went back to .050 with my 36" bars. Done a lot of hardwood milling with them w/o any problems. Just keep your chains sharp!

I loaded up on chains (Stihl Square File made from the rolls) from Mark years ago (when I used to see him each year at the Upstate NY GTG), so I likely have enough for my lifetime, as I don't cut as much anymore. I stopped doing firewood for others, just too much work.

Yeah, I stumbled on a 24” loop of .404 cheap in a shop

After you find the bar for the chain what saw will you buy for the bar?

Well, hopefully you can give me the hillbilly discount.

That begins with you grabbing your ankles.

It is funny there is mention of short bars in .404.
Years ago I misplaced a short .404 bar for a 041G. I was heading to a race the next day and was in a pickle as I needed a 20" .404 in 12mm. I called the dealer in the south county. He said 'Hell ya Bill I'll dig one out" He blew the dust off the old packaging and I dropped a turd load of cash.

I did win the race so I guess it was worth it

 

[greystone mountain man]

I have one from Husqvarna

He did say a good one,not a paperweight from Stihl

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Yeah, I stumbled on a 24” loop of .404 cheap in a shop

I found it easier to buy a cheap power match bar and a .404 sprocket nose and swap out the tip.
I run those for a 24" Husqvarna and a 36" homelite.

 

[davidwyby]

Yeah I swap tips pretty regular on my 30” and 42”

How many drive links? I have a few brand new 24" 404 loops for the 088 that I'll never use. If I can find them...

I’ll prolly have to count them

I have not seen it, but have a friend that thought it was a classic and described it to me. I did see the banjo scene on YouTube...sounds like all sorts of parts of the movie are enough to give someone the willies and hee-bee-gee-bees....

I have been through the Atlanta airport several times, but otherwise, the closest I have come to Georgia is Stevenson, Alabama in Jackson County, visited a cemetery there where my great-great-great grandparents are buried.

We all practiced our archery skills quite a bit after seeing that movie!

Ironically, I had (still have) a Bear Kodiak Hunter Recurve, the same bow used by John Voigt in the movie. (I now use a compound instead of a recurve). It didn't help (as I got older) that my bow is 70# at 28" and I have a 31" draw!

They are distinguished by the white laminate in the riser.

The original movie was released in 1972.

I saw it when it came out. My dad regretted taking me for decades after. Nightmares lasted quite a while.
