It was just a sharper chain on the stihl lol
Cleaned up a dead standing elm that fell over in my friends back yard. Had three stems about 18" diameter, about 30' long. Filled my 6' x 10' trailer.
Lots of nice dry firewood. This stuff is so dry, I've already turned some on my lathe - and it turns REALLy nice.

That was the soonest opening Randy had available. And the way Pa.Dan was raving about his saws its gonna be worth the wait.

Went to an estate sale and picked up some new chain files, a couple of oddball bars and a Poulan 3400 CounterVibe. Got the Poulan running but it wouldn't idle and ran erratically. Discovered the intake screw was broken off in the cylinder on one side. So now I have a pile of parts and a cylinder that needs an extraction done on it... I did some other stuff too but that's the only thing that would interest you guys.
I took the trees down and cut up all the big stuff! The neighbor took care of all the twigs and delivered the rounds to my splitter pile![emoji41]

I woke up 30 min late. Sucks loading up smokes lunch saws and rain gear without coffee
Changed the XL925 from the safety chain it had on it to a yellow link Stihl chain so it should cut better. Went to the mower shop this morning and purchased a belt for my Cub Cadet, the owner of the shop showed me an almost perfect Stihl 029 but wasn't sure he wanted to sell it at this time, I don't blame him. If I had it I probably would have considered it a "keeper" along with my other keepers and it would just collect dust while I cut wood with an old Poulan or Mac..

Yeah the safety chain chatters like crazy huh. Using those chains require lots of lock tite
Yesterday dead stringy bark removalat a playground, chipper had **** itself so loaded the truck by hand, 3 tonne according to weighbridge, then deadwooded some half dead trees over a brand new bbq area which filled the truck again. Today finished a retaining wall at the new yard then smashed out a heap of 1'-3' stumps with a remote controlled Rayco diesel stumper, finished past 6pm then went home and watched Aussie rules footy

Spent most of the day looking at investment properties but found a gap large enough to put the cylinder in the mill and extract the broken screw. The screw's out, the threads are fine but that's as far as I got.

best insurance is to replace the impulse line also.

Yep. The owner replaced it before they gave it to me.

Yeah that he says she says crap. I could sell a saw and say the chain is new bought it a couple years back

Today was old Stihl day for some reason.
Had an 076AV come in last night to get a chain shortened and another chain (did that today) 110 drivers. Talk about a heavy son of a gun. I meant to weigh it, but I would have to guess it was a solid 30lbs if not heavier. Not a common saw to see in these parts, let alone come in the shop.
Then an 064AV "no start"... needs a new top end, only 100psi compression.
034AV, 024, two 038s, one with a Lewis winch, couple others I can't remember... along with an Echo (first I've ever seen) a pair of 455 Husqvarnas, a 372, 350? (I think, I'm not a Husqvarna guy) and a 460.
Been keeping the mechanic pretty busy between all the mowers and saws... glad I'm not having to mess with it all like I was this winter!

I'm testing the finished top end rebuild of a 262xp. Everything was going well except the chain oil was leaking when the saw was off so I replaced the oil tube from the pump to the oil tank which fixed it. Then the oil was not coming out from the pump. I replaced the short 1/4" rubber tube between the pump and the crankcase and now oil was coming out the port properly but still no oil on the chain. However there was all kinds of oil in the chain adjust area, acting like the bar is not creating a good seal against the oil slot. That's where I left it last night - sometimes it is the simplest things that take the longest.

Took the cover off the pool. May be a few days before it is clean enough for a swim...
