Stupid question. What's square filing?
Yesterday I started working on my 'project' barrow and got rid of the old tub. after oiling the bolts and trying to wrench them off I turned to my angle grinder. Cut off wheel at the lowest angle from the inside cut through the plastic and then the bolts. Only problem is I went too deep on the braces. You guys would say, just get out you Mig welder and weld it back together. None available. So I thought I'd just JB Weld a 3/4" washer to the inside and clamp it together with a bolt. If that doesn't work, I can always cut off the flanges and sleeve the tubing with 1"? conduit which has the ends smashed flat. Jury rigged.
It has a good bit more than the MS362CM I traded in. It's closer to the 460 than the 026. In less than 20" wood I'd say it would be close to equal to the the 460 with the chains being equal due to the higher rpm.
I want to test this after the 400 is broken in. I'll do some timed cuts.
I'd be the first to say I'm anal. I really hated loosing this hatchet which belonged to an elderly gentleman whom I respected when I was a kid. When he died, I helped his widow set up a garage sale and I bought this off of her. Now anytime I use it I remember him. Like other tools I've collected from other people over the years. This one stays in my cab and I grab it to mark firewood lengths on a log before bucking.
Sounds good
looking forward to hearing about it.
That's funny, I've never seen my wife file a chainSquare filing is how Norwegian's file a chain, because we are square heads!

Any standard sized 325 sprocket will fit your 660, it's a normal size, nothing special.What is the displacement on a Husky 346? I slapped a 16" on my 660 a couple times. But that was with .50 gage 3/8. I'd like to try .325 on it just to satisfy my curiosity on the power gain and chain speed. I'd be werie and suspect to parting the chain though!I'm not even sure anyone makes a .325 sprocket that will fit the drum on a 660? Unless it's a totally custom made special order sprocket or drum! I've parted 32" loops before of .63 gage 3/8 full skip! That was years ago on one of my 066's

Negative. A standard .325 sprocket won't fit a 3/8 drum. They both have different size spline shafts and I would think that being as a .325 pitch chian cuts a bit of a narrower kerf. A 90cc power head would pull it a little faster. Than a 3/8 pitch.
I could be wrong about chian speed in the wood between the two chains with the same grind, but If you have a .325 sprocket that will fit a 660 drum I'd like to see a picture and know where to get one! I've been looking for one for a while now. However, maybe I haven't been looking hard enough!
I'm 99% sure the 400 will be the death of the ms362.(intended by stihl) Well I personally think (so far) if it holds up at all it will be the go to 60/70cc saw. And believe me when I say I'm biased with my 60/70cc saws. I've never cared for a 50cc saw. Too heavy and gut less and a 70cc was pretty much the same way compared to a 90cc saw. The 400 is nearly a full pound lighter then any of my 60cc husqys, and I'm pretty sure it will go neck and neck with any of the old guard 70cc saws. Don't think it will hang with a ms 462 or a 572xp. But we'll see.
Just to play around and experiment that's all. I'm not looking to run one for any length of time. I've ripped five and six inch logs in half for coral rungs with my 660 running a 50. Gage 16" a 3/8 and it ripped those logs in half with the quickness! No over rev at all if you know how to keep a proper load on the saw. I've ripped wood with a 20" and 24" on a 660 as well
not even close to as fast as the 16"
It's off a k series kohler with a engine mounted tank. I would assume it's been repainted, as they were not painted orange from factory in any tractor that I can recall.
Actually, It just might! I'll look Into that! Thankyou!
Is that a tire changing tool in front? Wish I had one (especially for free).
Keep me posted on that if you would please. I've been looking at the 400 myself!
