Everything will be on the ground here anyway. We don't have access to a tractor to put it on the log bucking trailer. This one is going to be done the old fashioned way.

That trailer and a crew working equipment will spoil a man real quick. We'll be fine the old fashioned way, just not quite so fast and possibly a few more rocked chains. No big.

If I rock the 36" chain will you sharpen it .

Depends on your definition of "sharpen"....

Well I ran the husky 61 some today.Runs good, every thing works as it should.It sure aint no 372 but a good saw.I am happy with it.Hedge I will think about loading that truck.

Bit the bullet and tore the 670 J-Red completely apart. Both main bearings were shot. Had to use my B.F.H. on the crank ends to get the crankcase apart. The hard plastic hammer weren't enuff.

Fellow on evilbay offers a bearing and seal 'kit' for 25 bux. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281305867583?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Saves me the trouble of chaseing all over town rounding up the stuff.

I'm sure there is someone here with a grinder who needs chains to practice on. After all why ruin your own chain learning.

Now that is smart thinking!

Unless I forget it, I will have a vise that attaches to the 2" hitch receiver on my truck. It gives a good, solid place to work on bars and chains on site. I'll have files and one of those little hand-held grinders with me as well. It ain't the greatest for sharpening chains but it does a decent job. Truth be told, I kind of enjoy sharpening chains.

I've never seen that seller before, but he looks like he knows a little about saws. I can't see the bearings as well as I'd like, but they sure look good. His prices aren't bad either. I'll be interested in knowing how those work out.

11 cc's sure do make a difference. I had a 365 Husky I was sort of proud of until I ran it next to Eric's 71 cc Jonsered. Tough to beat that saw. I'll bet that 61 will load Hedge's truck just fine. Just don't listen to Eric when he says "Here, try this one..."

So many NICE saws, so little money!

And, six isolation buffers from my favorite 'Greek' seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171301890198

The saw needs two but since they are all the same age........................................

Carl seems like I've seen bearings and seals for that saw with the same seller.

Anybody know about Husqvarna 61.A guy I know is out of work unemployment up needed money. Well I now have a 61.It is clean I mean clean . run ok haven't cut with it yet.i

got a husqy 61 rancher. onliest thing you should be careful for is make sure the air filter is clean. be a good idea to clean it every tank full. for some reason mine really sucks the sawdust and cakes the filter very quickly. other than that i love mine. love its torqy cutting and dependability.

I feel your pain my friend... but your saws start and run good and make you happy

sweet.... if I get past the 2171/372 size im really kinda afraid I wont use it much because of weight.
when I had a little money a while back I really was looking at a 2172 or 2188. my body is kinda beat up and stuff :/

 

[Mo. Jim]

Yup, had his seals and bearings bookmarked but the guy in Canada was free postage and closer. Then I inspected the buffers and found two shot. Sigh..................

This J-Red 370 has truned into a total rebuild.

I'll be all educated up on them now......................................
