YES!!

A lot of the older Huskies and J'reds use the same crank seal.....the one available now is just 1mm thicker, they work fine. The ID and the OD are the same. Have you tried a bearing house? Kevin

Sounds like maybe the older version is better with the chem it had.....if you can get that one there, jump on it! Kevin

I used to run about three thousand head of sheep on a farm in MO. Lambing was a 45 day continuous nightmare that was 24/7. I had to sleep in the barns with the sheep most nights. On a 'good' night you could have 30 ewes lamb in one hr. Hard to imagine unless you've actually done it. My...

Exciting....relatively new chainsaw forum....how cool is that?! Keep it friendly and informative and it won't fall into the insulting 'pit' that so many other forums have become today. Kevin

My educated guess is that there is a lot of sealant material there for the gas mix to denigrate and get access to. Probably such a slow process that it's not a consideration with the folks that use modern sealants and delete the base gasket. Kevin

I have a tube of 1184, but never used it for anything. Like I said, I've never done a base gasket delete. What I will tell you is that I was putting compressed air into a Husky 2100 oil tank and POP went the tank!:oops: What I had stupidly managed to do was split the tank halves seam. I went...

"permatex aviation form-a-gasket 3" I used this stuff WAY back on military vehicles with respect to gas contact....because it was so hard to get real gaskets and I hadn't learned yet how to make my own gaskets. And then when I did learn, I used this stuff to dress the gasket lightly. I tired...

I'm very interested in that saw. They dribbled a few out and then nothing. I haven't tried again recently. How do you like it so far? Tunable carb, metal recoil assembly, heavy cases.....sound like a dream come true in a new saw for me.;) Kevin

Back in the day, the Swede engineers told us to run-in the pro saws like you own 'em.....in other words, use them like you intend to make money with them. Kevin

Depends who you talk to.....some like the 930 Super best for the series, some like the free revving of the 910 best. I know a couple of old loggers like myself that had all three and favored the 910 best. When you see the promotional pictures of 'Denny', the PNW logger in the vintage Jonsereds...

Actually, I just took them today. But you're recognizing three of the saws from an old avatar pic.....lol. And you've seen the 2094 by its lonesome probably. Kevin

Here's are pics of my working saws. Because they are 'older', like me, I will usually take them all on a contract job. I usually only ever use two of them on a job.....but ya never know with old stuff. I have this many saws without bars....duplicates except for the 2094. Then I have 910's in...

I can't argue with that.:cool: Given a lot of the older pro J'reds run over 200psi often, if not using a trick/hack, you can nearly break your fingers. Kevin

Yes, it's certainly subjective. Having not started out with decomps, they don't excite me. Like you, except for the J'reds 90 I mentioned(and why), I leave them unless they are causing trouble. Do I use them...nah. Kevin
