I dug the old mans Home lite XL 12 out of the shed . Holy shit , started after a full pulls . Has been sitting for the last 10+ years. The reason I put it away was the chain oiler was not working ( its a manual one ) .
So after it ran , I pulled apart the manual oiler and unblocked it , I also replace the o rings on the plunger. She is all go now and looks good beside my other saw.
Looking forward to hacking up some trees with the beast now. It has a bigger bar than my stihl chainsaw I have so will be used.Attachment 174478

Stihl 462, 024AV super and Ozito electric. These 3 cover all my needs. Although a single handed one might be nice:)
My stihl 063. I really need to find somewhere I can cut my own wood so I get to use this beast more often.

Too cold to go out to the shed but I ztill have P26 Pioneer with 16" on the front, still fires up 2nd or third pull and 40 years old.....!!!!!
nah i wish it was a bunker full of toys...... it came off the roof when reroofing got 2 more to come down yet
Found the Stihl MS640, MS180, and husky electric pole saw take care of everything on a lifestyle block. Half of the big gums have been felled, and it will be a bunch more years before the rest get dropped. The MS640 will just be a decoration until then.

Anyone have a need for a Stihl 034 for parts?Got one here thats done average hours.Got wet on the Hollyford while being used as a lewis winch doing the jboat snig thing.No doubt salvageable but when I took it into the local Stihl agent to assess he just happened to have running on special the annual show day sale.The sales pitch worked & I upgraded to a larger model.Nth Canty but travelling to Sth Westland in a tortnight so could drop off along the way
I’d be keen if I could get it

I can grab and bring up if it will go on plane in chainsaw case.

Here's my two saws I currently own one being a Husky 288 and a 495 and both are awesome saws but at the moment I'm looking at upgrading to either a 572XP or 395 so in a month I'll see what I get.

Last year I ended up ringing, splitting just on 120 cubic metres of wood because I got a little carried away and there's a bit of a long story to it. Sold most of it but also gave some of it to some needy families in the community as I didn't want to see them go cold especially the kids.
My boys helping with splitting

Borrowed a mates Stihl MS 881 (121.6cc) chainsaw with a 42 inch bar to help cut up a pile of beautiful macrocarpa. The saw is a beast to use!

yes them big Stihls are a thing of beauty...and are a beast all right,unreal powder.
My two saws, MS250 and an MS500i.
Just ordered a West Coast Saws bark box for the 500i, will be interested to see how it goes.

Nice splitter Seventenths.
Flapper disc on an angle grinder has those whisker sharp in a giffy!
@duckdog, you happy with the 500i so far ? Interesting technology.
OK, finally mustered the energy to line mine up.
The old Echo is late-80s vintage. Much to my wife's disgust, I bought it at a genuine half price in Richmond when we were on holiday down in Nelson. For some strange reason, she thought a cot/pram/ etc was higher priority with the first baby due. Strange creatures.. Has done a heap of work and eventually got a bit temperamental and lost a bit of power. Given the amount of work it had done, I succumbed to a new Husky and that's been fine. A year or so after I bought the Husky, I was yapping to a guy who knew all about servicing saws. He immediately said "Betcha a carb kit will revive it" and sure enough, she's back to good health and it makes a great backup saw. I don't thrash it too much as parts are now an issue.
The 95cc Jonsered (a secondary Husky brand) I got low mileage second hand and it's been great. Usually lives with a two foot bar and that's a 3 foot one in the background which I use for the big macros on our life sentence block as well as whacking into bigger gums on my mate's place. It's also had a bit of use in a home-made chainsaw mill.
I look with itchy fingers at new/flasher models but in reality, they wouldn't do a single thing more than the current ones.

nice :) I have a little echo like that but doesn't have a chain brake, so it's more of an ornament now. I might line mine up for a photo session shortly
The 340, 345 and 350 series saws have a Jred equivalent, so do the 346,351,353 , the 357 and 359 do too the 365,371 and 372 also the 385 and 390 . I think the last jonsered design was the 2051 , 2054 2055 series and they had some Husqvarna influence . I had the 2055 , were pretty good saws but the hard to find one with an oil tank that doesn’t leak
i dont have any pictures handy, but i do have a short video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl66OO2c0wg
i have a pro mac 10-10s, pro mac 700 and a stihl 032av+quickstop that all run fine and dandy. I also own a husky 385xp which is not in that video
I reckon he thought @XR500 was referring to sharpening a chainsaw chain with a flap disc.

It’ll get a full comp chain at some point

Someone posted this a while back. I haven't bought one yet but they do look pretty handy. I seem to quite often sharpen one side a bit more than the other when I do them by hand.

I've got a skip tooth rip chain for the big bar but that's only one on one off. I take it that's a granberg chain, how much does that slow the cut? My skip doesn't seem to make much difference but the saw runs easier and the cut a bit smoother. I think granberg y also used to make a half tooth one.
No, not porn. Here's a double ender in action;)
