Off the top of my head sounds about right but I don't run that chain except on my Oz Racing saw and I just use the file it came with..... 3/8th non LP is 13/64....I remember that cause I've stuffed it up before

hows it looking Neil, finding every thing

Yea we are back to full production again, have been for a month now, we retrieved most of my gear, even found a full drum of fuel that washed away, its in a bushy gully 3 hundred yards away from the mill.
I have replaced almost all the starter motors and alternators, the gen-set works except for the electro magnet that shuts off the lister diesel.
It will take me years to get back what I lost money wise but I'm not crying and no one cares anyway.

When I get down and need cheering up I just have a look over on the ''collectors forum '' and see what old bob has bought and modified , the man buys a saw almost every day, must have hundreds by now, bless him.
bob..........

great to see you,ve got back on top of it all, dont need any more floods, ANYWHERE

I've used one once and they're great for stump cuts and attacking roots, also great when you have timber full of **** like Matt and Benny do, but I wouldn't use one to cut regular stuff.....they tend to hammer through the wood, are slower and vibrate more than a regular sharp chain. The amount of times I could do with one I just use my not so sharp chain and stuff that completely and resharpen.

Gypo???

Yep that's the one

 

[bennn*e]

I had a similar looking bar and chain once and the shop put me onto Stihl cleaner. Varioclean I think it's called. Worked bloody brilliantly. Resolved the resin. Mine was worse. Covered in sap. Took a few applications.

Aerosol or trigger pack?

Not exactly Mate!
There is at least 5 guys on this thread that know you very well, and would give a Kidney for you.
I remember we all offered some help in 1 way or another, However there's a little stubbornness and an awful lot of pride we'd have to overcome 1st, inside a stocky little red headed fella named Neil.
You give "true Aussie Battler" a decent meaning mate.
You work your butt off at the mill, yet as busy as you are, you're always the 1st to offer help to anyone else in need, 4 whatever reason.
The world needs more Neil's in it!, more than happy to help u out in any way mate........ Just Ask!

 

[bennn*e]

It might...but I'm using the thin stihl bar oil......thinking of changing to the valvoline stuff Supercheap have on sale for 16 bucks for 5 litres....under half the price and should do a better job

Got a 60l of nos pennzoil sae50 I started cracking into. Just needs to be a warm day to use it thought

Definitely not! If you screwed that into some timber and attached your climbing rope to it you'd be dead before you'd finish cutting down half a dozen trees., you'd be lucky to get one done.

Thanks Jason and so much appreciated, and I was overwhelmed by the support I received, it would of been easier to receive help from friends but I knew I had to cop what happened and deal with it myself , cannot explain why I just had to.
I am stubborn, I have spent all my adult life till a couple years ago training to be successful in physical sports, learning all the time and still learning.
I watched my dad work hard in his mill, he retired on a war pension and worked the farm till he could no longer and died in his 80's, now I work my own mill not far from his mill, the property is my families now and I'm a happy man.
Oh forgot, I have met some great blokes from this very forum, funny how that happens.
