We need to shop for clutch covers. The mostly used up Farm Boss cover we counter bored but not deep enuff because the steel inserts spun in the plastic. It don't clamp the bar.

Nice looker there Carl.

Hey fellas, looking for opinions on my old model 99, do I sell it???
I feel like someone would enjoy it more.
What is it worth?
I hate to think ebay is the best way?? Are there auctions for just saws? The little bag has two new chain links in it, why??? Did I mention this thing is HUGE
Anyway all it does is sit around in the shed, in the way, would I regret selling it, maybe.
It would be awesome to sell it so I could visit it again LOL.
OPINIONS???

That's one of those things that makes a great GTG saw. Would you regret selling it? Probably. I know I've sold or traded several saws that I wish I would have kept. But that's the past, can't change it. I've always wanted just one 2 man saw. Unfortunately, I've got vehicle projects that take precedence (money) right now.

You can always try posting it in the "Trading Post" on this site. It is right next to the "Chainsaw" forum

The 046 from the pile is ready for a test cut.

Took me a while to figure out the secret handshake on the bar adjuster parts. I had not seen one all together before. That and an acute shortage of metric fasteners in my garage.

I'll probably do the MS440 next seeing as how the new piston is here.

99????

Took a better look at the 026 Pro. Handle/tank is broken at the grip end. Can't catch a break for the broken.

 

[Homelite410]

Mac 99 Carl!

 

[67L36Driver]

Mac 99 Carl!

I don't even consider a saw that big and heavy!

 

[67L36Driver]

046 runs and cuts.
But don't oil the chain mainly because the geezer in charge forgot to put any in the tank!

HA Ha Ha Ha.

Good evening folks.

 

[67L36Driver]

Evening Kenneth!

Stihl need more parts. Despite having two MS440s, Stihl not enuff to make one powerhead.

Came up short a muffler, chain brake spring, bar adjuster, yada, yada, .............[emoji19]

Honestly don't understand how the landscaper guy can screw up the equipment so badly and stay in business.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Because he's probably depreciating the equipment out knowing the smaller equipment is small potatoes compared to 5-10K lawn mowers...

When I enlisted in '99 I went to school to be a Crew Chief on B-1b's. I loved and despised that airplane. Everyone ought to try replacing an APU or over-wing fairing seal, just for fun... The front windscreens were a peach too. That said, I loved being around it and after busting my ass for 10-12hrs to watch one blast off with 40-50' trails of flame coming out of the 102's it was gratifying. I do miss them ver much and would like to know how many that bled on have now dropped in anger...


Mine is similar but a bit different. There's and inert-only range near Salina, KS named Smoky Hill. It's one of the bigger range complexes in the mid-west. After the B.R.A.C. was over and we knew that we were losing the Bones, they did one final drop at smoky about a week before they left. The unit was invited out to see the drop along with family/friends due to that being the final farewell. The one I launched out that morning no. 86-115, was piloted by a friend/mentor of mine who was one of the best and most natural pilots I've ever seen. I asked him to give me one pass after the drops had been made in a N/S direction, cuing in on a small tower and my '85 Cutlass, as fast and low as the tower would allow.

The result was that after the drops, I watched him fly off into the distance and disappear. A bit later there was a speck on the horizon. It got bigger slowly and then much faster. When he passed over, the shockwave was building at the wing glove, tail root and the nose and there was NO sound. However tall telephone poles are, he was about twice that height. As he passed over, (low enough that I spotted a missing apex fastener in the tail)... When the sound finally caught up, it caused a mild heart arrhythmia and my chest felt like it was in an earthquake. That was something I'll never forget.

I miss the B-1s. The rumble was incredible. When they first came to ttown, people parked on 47th St S (south end of the Base), and watched them take off. My grandad drove out there to watch. Steady line of cars, but curiously, there was a spot right in line with the runway. Figuring someone had just left, he pulled in. When the first one took off, he learned why no one had parked there. I can only imagine how that must have shook him up. A good friend of our family is an Air Force pilot and was stationed here in Wichita with the B-1. Good memories...

Back to chainsaws, is there a gtg or charity cut any time soon? I'll be in Tonganoxie(NE Kansas) this weekend.

L I B!! The freakin' bar off the MS250 don't fit the 028. No test cut tomorrow.

A LG mount of a 260 and up will work, same bar fits an 024 too

Not a good morning outside in River City this am! High winds and rain.

Brettl, Doug's cut is this weekend 16 MAY on the W side of Des Moines. Not that far.

I guess I don't remember the B1B operating out of Wichita? What year's was that?

Must have been when they where at McConnell AFB, in reserve service?

 

[Hinerman]

I guess I don't remember the B1B operating out of Wichita? What year's was that?

I know they were at Tinker AFB in OKC. I was in the USMCR unit across the street ('88-'94). On the rare occassion we got to see and HEAR them fly it was a treat. I have never heard a louder machine but they sure are a thing of beauty and power. Thanks for making it possible.

Did you get all that wood delivered?
