What's on your bench?

It's a 044 drum on a 036, Oregon brand about 5 min of cutting. Scared the crap out of me!

Has anyone really had problems with the small bearing on a 036? Or are we all just paranoid?

I'm having a ton of issues today with the forum. Tapatalk seems to work fine.

No problems as of yet with my 036 mofo

I had 2 200 Ts come in about a month apart where the star drive on the drum came apart just like that, and these saws had been in use for a while.

 

[RI Chevy]

Can that center part be welded back on?

 

[MustangMike]

Likely not worth the trouble.

 

[RI Chevy]

Kinda what I figured. Easier just to get a new one.

I have on a 034. The bearing melted down and took out the clutch, drum, worm gear and oil pump. I wasn't running the saw but I suspect that the chain was WAY to tight and that led to the bearing overheating and melting the plastic cage.

Nevermind Mike I know your a stihl guy and won't ever see it. I promise it would take one special 660 to beat a normal woods ported 395. Ask the guys that build them they will tell you the same.

Not even the fastest one I've built... wasn't built to be... just a good work saw.

Finally broke down and bought a like new one to test out today. Echo 590.
Just wanted to see what this bang for the buck 60cc is about.
Husky 2 series guy bought it new and didnt care for it and went back to the older huskys.
So worked out for me to get it from him to try out myself. Chain dont even look like it has ever been touched. Spur dont even look marked.

What I love about mine is no matter what bar length I run on it, it still pulls the same in wood.

I believe at the CT GTG, a ported 064 or 660 was right on the 661s heels.

Scott’s hybrid and my 394 were 1 sec slower than the 661

 

[MustangMike]

Dan, I would call that a statistical tie. They were all great running saws.

You put on a nice GTG Dan! It was a good time.

I'm I in the wrong thread? Seems like a dick measuring contest in here?

I got a leaf blower running for my neighbor. And the CTS on the Suburban changed

 

[dustinwilt68]

Mine all cut wood and put a smile on my face

I'm usually more concerned about not getting hit in the head or finding metal with my chain lol.

 

[dustinwilt68]

So is it who has the biggest dick or who is the biggest dick

Just got done replacing a MS461 brake flag for a local tree guy. What a PITA those things are!

Luckily, 440, 460 and 461 are all the same flag, so I keep a few on hand.

He dropped it off at 8 pm, and he will have it back in the AM.

He also told me one of his 460s needs a recoil cause a guy dropped it out of a tree. Told him I've got them too!

He always pays me for the parts, and he is going to drop me off some Hickory to cut + split for firewood .

Works for me!

When did the 460 become a in tree saw lol. And I like hickory in my smoker.
