Are the back 2 tires considered wheelie bar tires or Training wheel tires?
Sort of reminds me of those front wheel drive cars when they first came out and all season weren't common yet.
Every once in a while you would see the studded snows BASSAKERTZ on the rear 'cuz they don't look right on the front.
 
I lived between Kenai and Soldotna for 25 years, Hunted Kodiak and surrounding islands, spent a lot of time on Montague island too. Actually, I hunted all over the state...

The wife's Uncle lives in Soldotna. We were there about five years ago during the Salmon run (in July I believe?). Caught our limit of 3 each day. He lives right on whatever major river that is that the Salmon run through from the ocean.

NOPE, the townines and yuppies had already drove me out before then!

That's the Kenai River, where I got these,

When I bought my new 462 from Ace, the floor guy was going over how to adjust the chain. I reached down to move the chain and couldn't even budge it. Once I got it home I had to turn the adjusting screw quite a bit to relieve the pressure on the guitar string.
Did I ever ask what part of MD you are in? I'm in Frederick.
 
A good friend of mine and also an excellent Sawyer. Joined forces with the dark side and is now running those Swede Saws! He was kind enough though. To hook me up with all his leftover German gear!

It all includes an assortment of all kinds of new and used spare parts. Several bars in great shape including a Stihl "Big Block" 36" Cannon for my 088. A running 170. A recently blown older original 066, and even a go pro with multiple accessories!👍

I am in debt to him now! I really don't know how I'm going to repay him in return, but it will be something good and worthy of all this gear and equipment. That I can promise! What a great guy he is!👍 To bad he's gone to the dark side of the force! 😂

Now I'd like to consider myself pretty dam good with a power saw when it comes to cut'n big timber! Not the best by any means, but pretty dang good! ☝️ However, if any any of you guys out there on this website feel the same about themselves? Think again, because this chick could probably school 98% of us! 👍

Nice score!!! Congrats to you, and kudos to your friend. He did you a solid!
 
@svk, congrats to your buddy! Mine just turned 13 months a few weeks ago. Mine is a rescue that I got through a cop buddy of mine down in Chicago. He was found wandering the streets of the city in a how do I say this, "demographically dark area" LOL. I've never been a Pitty guy, always had Rotties before this one, but he's quickly captured our hearts. We've only had him since January, but it sure does appear that he loves being out here in the woods with us vs. in the concrete jungle!URL 7.jpgURL 9.jpg
 
I've never seen pre mixed fuel before! That's something else! 😲
Around 5$ a qt for generic and 7-8$ for echo red armor. Those gal cans go for 20$. I bought 6 or 8 cans and reuse them as they fit nice in my echo saw boxes. Stihl and I think husky make there own premix fuel aswell.
 
Good chance of that, also a good chance that the dealer would blame the homeowner :rare2: . Technically it would have been the homeowners fault since they didn't check the tension like you did.
I run my chains tighter than most guys I know. If they sing on the bar they are too tight, if they don't then they are just right.
I noticed the other day that the chain on my 550 was a bit loose, unfortunately when I went to tension it there was no adjustment left. I haven't ran out of adjustment like that in a long time, I'll just have to pull it out a little this last time, then I'm done with this chain. Sad because it's and old Carlton chain that cuts very nice, and there's still a lot of cutter left.
They would say you strait gassed it :crazy2:

It's good stuff. I use it to store the saws. I put about 1/2 tank in and run it for awhile then shut em down. The Echo Red Armor is supposed to be good for 2 years after opening. None of my equipment sits longer than 2-3 months so it gives a little piece of mind when starting after sitting.
