Frozen here this morning. Just getting lt....Nice day shaping up! But snow tonight ? 6-10"s.....Hope to get some more wood today God willin' and "Mighty Mouse" runs......which it always has so far...... Bring the 262 too and the OE 346/44. My OT 44 is a big disappointment. Needs professional work, but you guys aren't too partial to Orange wonders! lol Maybe bring Efco..haven't run it in awhile. Very smooth saw believe it or not. Giladoni....
Robin 'member the 268? Been running that lately on the logs I throw in my woodpile. No Johnny's unfortunately..... and only my old rebuilt 032 and the MM'd 310 for Stihls.
Take care you guys. ? snow for you too! But if you ask me we've got this winter in the Bag!!! 2 weeks after my birthday the 25th 8-10 years it's all over!!! sun is strong this year!!!

Sun is strong here also, can feel the heat in er when in direct sunlight even though it is only -10C here now, hardly any ice left and no snow to be found where the sunlight finds its way to the ground. Don`t see the 026 in your sig line, ya know its a Stihl also.....LOL

Was piling firewood yesterday, most of the wood was very clean and dry and nice to handle, some of the wood that was in contact with the ground required a few good taps from the 6 lb hammer to loosen it from its icy grip. Snowing today so no wood piling,just to messy to work with, this snow will soon be gone again.

Different saw. This is one for the same guy I just did the 025s, 55s, building an MS360 for, etc.

Other than beat all over...mechanically pretty decent.

I am used to seeing saws like that, rode hard and put away wet, roughshod , left outside full time, bouncing about amongst a ton of other tools/junk while bouncing all over really rough backwoods logging roads. Seen saws sitting in 3-4" of water when the boxliners first came out, who woulda thought those box liners would hold water with the truck parked facing downhill. Also had a few saws brought in that had been fully submerged plus all types of two stroke wackers,trimmers, brush saws etc, electric hand tools all heavily water logged. Box liners now get several holes drilled in them,headboard end before install now....LOL

Frankensaw, 044 with an MS fuel tank, Husky bar nut, what a shame. Needs a little love but it’s worth it.

Hey Jerry !!!
Did you know that there was actually a Swede saw that wouldn't rattle itself to pieces way back in the 50's ?

Heck ya Dan, I operated one of them from the time I could pull the blade through the wood, still have the original, was a red frame not orange...blade breakage was their only downfall IIRC.

Looks like saw runnin weather tomorrow, maybe a fella should go find a few leaning hardwoods to put on the ground before the sap starts to run.

Sap has already started running, was flowing good last Friday, has been going most days when the sun has been out bright.

 

[dancan]

Looks like the sap will run hard today .

 

[pioneerguy600]

Yep, by 10 o`clock when the frost has melted.
I got wood on the ground I need to get moved to the woodyard. Lots to be piled up so the sun and wind can get at it, needs to be drying soon.

They do alright as axes splitting wood, they fall apart when run cutting up wood, either bucking or felling, liming is the worst for them, rattle,rattle, roarrrrrr!
