Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MechanicMatt]

Locked up so tight I don’t think Hercules could pull this thing over

 

[MechanicMatt]

So many, pretty Swedish girls I think I’ve died and gone to heaven

 

[MechanicMatt]

272xp!!!!!

Even has the ignition coil to make it as spark again, as compression, praying it only lost spark

This one cleaned up...after vice grip scars

You suck
No, you really suck.

 

[MustangMike]

I hope the 262 is the first one you work on!

I didn't know DG sold chainsaws .

Looks like two 372 XP lowers….

 

[MechanicMatt]

I hope the 262 is the first one you work on!

I promise you it will

That 362c has bags of new parts for it.
One of them being an electric carb….

If you want, I’ll try and do a compression test to it

I’m amazed, Derek said before the guy went under, he’d just go buy a new saw to keep the two crews running and order the parts he thought he needed. But never fixed anything. These were part of Derek’s severance package…

He stored them for a few years in his shed then told me to come get them out of his way as they were taking up space…..

Amazing!

 

[MechanicMatt]

Stinks!!!

I’ve wanted a 550xp for a bit to see how it compares to my dads 241

Well, preliminary inspection, i think I can make one 562xp out of the two….

But I promised uncle Mike, 262xp comes first

What? You’re not allowed to install a battery in your own car ? Think they smoking crack

Is that about resetting everything ? Oil life, key fobs, idle info, who knows what else ?

 

[MechanicMatt]

Whew!! New top end and carb on the 272xp, guessed right by the new coil being in the box of parts, no spark

It’s gonna have to wait till the 262 Finds Its Way to the bench, I’ll just set it aside for now

That's a bummer!

A 550 will eat the 241s lunch in anything but really small wood.

I cut this pile of firewood last Fall and planned splitting it by November. Ha, that never happened! It was a nice day and Brother came over. We pulled out the splitter and spent about 6 hours on the pile. Really wet wood, so we let it lie. Suppose to be 60s and windy tomorrow. We'll stack after a couple of days of drying. Probably 2 cords of wood. But all things seem bigger than they really are . I'll get a better idea when we stack it. This will be for the 2025 season or later. Really stringy for Red Oak.

P.S. Forgot the pic.

 

[MechanicMatt]

Sad for the 268, she is low on Compression

Only 85psi….

Probably end up parts for the 272 and my 266

Few pics for my buddy Chipper 1. I haven't completely abandoned my roots, but so far ME LIKEY.

Pretty nice saw, it’s not a husky but I guess it will do. I think for most circumstances the new version 462 is better than the 500i, much better air filter technology, better av for long bars, faster chain speed limbing, uses less fuel and lower price. I do like the shape of the wrap handle on the 500i better. Now if they were just smoother and got rid of the sthil flippy caps they’d almost be as good as a husky, lol.
Congrats on the new saw, hope you enjoy it.

Nice haul for you… Although it’s amazing that some people can trash so many pieces of equipment!

Unless I forgotten something I’ve only seized one saw in my life and that was a 4218 Poulan that we used to process several 30 inch Cottonwood.

You should just send the 262 to me. Otherwise I may have to make a voodoo doll and find some pins…

Just Stihl’s. They took over from the JD dealers lol.

I don't split much wimpy wood, so I'll stick with this,

It pushes EVERYTHING through its 4-way wedge,

SR

I've split 24 inch logs on mine. I have a tractor mounted hydraulic splitter for real knotty wood like that. I would prefer splitting wood that splits easy versus **** like that.
