BLY MOUNTAIN MOONSHINER
1. Just curious- are manf's phasing out 404 chain? Or bars? If so, can someone tell me why?
I had a 32 or 36in Husky 404 bar & bought a cpl chains for it about 10yrs ago with no problem.
Now, I see it being sold by DL and it seems to be somewhat scarce now.
If it's going away, I'll keep the 2 nos loops I still have. (now I can't find the damn bar)
lol
2. The other day- pulled my MS260 clutch drum off to do a deep clean on her & the needle bearing cage
just crumbled into 3 pieces between my fingers as it came off the C/Shaft?
Had her about 10-12yrs now & is just my limb saw, don't run her hard & keep er' perty clean after each use.
Did Stihl start using MIM for the N/B cage at some point? Bought a new OEM N/B, the new looks the
same as the old one, with a blk cage. My first thought it was plastic, but MIM seems more likely.
thx
