Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Brufab]

When the crayons get broke out, you know things are getting serious!

Edit, to add to that, I've always found it hard to move my hands enough when I'm talking online to get my point across

Dang no doubt lol, trying to catch up, don't ask what mix or bar oil is used to make these notches and back cuts

Nothing wrong with that chain.

I agree!

No firewood scrounging today. I just added the last (and most important) piece to my he-man women haters club man-cave!!! Damn people were out of the Jager though, damn supply chain shortages LOL!View attachment 994556View attachment 994557

Nice beer selection. All are perfect after a hot day working outside.

can also be assisted with a swizzle cut.

Most all the guys I've heard call is a sizwheel.
They can work in hardwood, but the fibers don't flex as well as softwood.
Should I have sniped it too lol. Most guys don't snipe hardwood, butbit can help. At that point in this particular tree everything was already done that was needed as it was pulled 180 off a lean over a powering.

Maybe that's what I need to do then.

I use Napa to make mine up, they have a good selection, well they used to, not sure with the current situation.

My buddy used to work at car quest in Howell, they built hoses and even had a machine shop in the basement. But like you said not sure anymore these days, everyone has been bought out and I'm guessing alot of those services are no longer available. Just like getting your drums/rotors turned, not many places do that anymore

I'm one of those "Stihl guys". Not intentionally, because I'm not brand loyal to anything. In my case, it's because it's what I learned on, and am familiar with. Kind of like why I'm an Android guy vs. Apple. It's just because that's what I know and know how to use, not because I have anything against any other manufacturer.

There are so many stihls available used, it's hard not to have at least 1 or 10 lol. Since husky hasn't been actively going after the small cc saw crowd, I run the stihls for most my 40cc saws and smaller, except the echo 2511t and the 242xp, and the Makita 4300(which is more like a 50cc saw by weight and size). I prefer the handling/ ergonomics of the huskys, but in a saw that's 11lbs and under that doesn't play as big of a part as in a 50cc or larger, same with bucking.
What's important is you're a saw guy, much like Steve, that's what I'm always looking for in another guy .

We have a custom trailer shop here in town so they have always done pretty good stocking what most farmers and the trailer shop need. Occasionally a quick trip out to their GR hub is needed if you're in a hurry, but if you're not they will usually have the parts there within a few hrs or the next morning.
The only issue I have with their hoses is that the fittings may be a little larger than oem, while I could see that being a problem in certain situations it hasn't been for me yet.

Can any of you Corn Husk'n Husky Hackers tell me what year the 288XP was introduced? I really don't know myself? I'm sure I could research it and find out, but figured a lot of all you Husky guys could probably tell me.

And also, dose anyone know what these air filters are for? View attachment 994548

Looks like it's an 84, but the plastic brake flag wasn't until around 89 or later. Been a while since I messed with those ole 2 series huskys much.
Here's a picture of some of my old stihls, I still have one or two of these, but I've sold most and then got new ones. I still need to replace the 241!

We like to have a lot of family at our place lol.

I miss that big dolmar you had the 7900 I think. That was a cool looking saw with the big spikes. If I ever buy a newer saw it will be the dolkita 7910 or the echo 620pw

Not pictured is a pl7a that I recently adopted and a super 770 that I'm finalizing the paperwork on

I sold all the 7910's to build my barn, but I still have a ported 7900 .
Sure I have a better picture of them somewhere, they are all cuddling together on the left side of the table, kinda chilly in the basement lol. The one you like is the first one, no dogs on it in that picture as it was cutting some cookies .
