Morning! It is around 6am here, nearly daylight and it is a good day- going to rain, but still a good day. Today I truck out the penultimate load of calved/due to calve cows, which means calving is near over, which in turn means no more 5am alarms, no more 7 day weeks, no more 20 hours days and...

Exactly, not like the crankcase is swimming in fuel up to the level that the cylinder bolts on- and the thread is about suggested sealers for that joint if the gasket might be deleted. If it is you might have a slight flooding problem.

Not boring, nor off topic- it is all part of the introduction of what makes you you. ;)

Don't panic- it is just one of the usual replies to the every second post on other forums that are yet ANOTHER oil thread. Generally speaking, most people get heartily sick of oil threads and the fact they get repeated at least twice a week on other forum sites- so some of the replies get a bit...

So, Black & Tan is not a reference to Guinness followed up with a Jamesons? You are a good keen man to run Setters...... and those things can run! Great dog if you have a 200 acre backyard. I was more a Pointer fan, German Wirehaired ones in particular. What was your Trap gun of choice? My...

Currently..... four running 066's and a few boxes of bits. They were THE forestry saw to be had from when they were first released, up until the 661 was released maybe 6 months too early and the kinks were not ironed out. A lot here went back to 066's they had in sheds and repaired them back to...

Yep, but what if the owner was never really an 066 fan- true, I believe for forestry logging- they were the best Stihl produced, especially the flat top pre decompression ones, but perhaps not the best in class for a fair while retired from pro use now more casual faller and firewood hack and...

Have a Husqvarna 288XP low top, have a Jonsered 2094, have several Stihl 066's. If I was to buy a Jonsered 2186 (basically a Red Husqvarna 385XP) should I start selling off the 066's? 🤔

I would love to see a give away- are we talking a saw built by one of the admin? 🤝 Given my own particular geographic location and the international shipping of something the weight of a 395XP (I could use one honest!) If I win a saw giveaway I either get to pick the charity to donate it to-...

The black bit been Raptored?

Some Australians are just obstinate and you cannot always bend them to your rules- especially some of the Gum species. My best advice would be something large and mechanical attached to at least a 30 tonne excavator- either tapered cone or multi knife box cutter- that shite versus an axe will...

You can possibly add to the list, the internals of the top handle system. Who has not opened up one of those for the first time, only to have a couple of the rods fall out of place, or a couple of the plastic linkages and spent the next frustrating hour trying to figure out how it all fits back...

Well said Sir. ;)

Yep, I agree- but disagree. Old stuff is often more solidly engineered, run slower, but with better torque and perhaps better metallurgy- but is usually heavier and slower than more modern versions. This is going to be a classic example of the model- not a front line user, a casual use...

Thanks guys, have had my eye out for the hedge trimmer attachment for a while, as I already have several 020's kicking about, but this saw is very clean and original compared to others I have rebuilt. Happy with this one as a "set", nut the saw does need some attention, probably just carb clean...

Picked this up a couple of months back- for less that the price of the steel it would take to build from scratch- so worth a tinkering with. Homebuilt, rather crude and rudimentary horizontal splitter, powered by an old Kohler 161 (fairly rare over here and not in every old tiller or lawn...

More likely an inexperienced homeowner saw then- wanted something small for the shrubbery and got talked into a pro grade rear handle, when a Silky handsaw may have suited better. Is it Mtronic? I have not run a 201 M, but they would need to be better than the 201 TC. I have done some minor...

Ex tree service saw? If it is employer provided- the employee's treat them like shite.

My 201TC plays second fiddle to the 200.

Oh I agree! But that one is my personal one and genuine Stihl intake boots for these cost $80 of our dollars! Now granted, I do NOT treat that wee beast with kid gloves and it has been there and done a WHOLE lot since it was new, but whoever dreamed up that chunk of plastic jam fitting the...
