the fleet

[treeslayer]

check this out, over 70 HP!

 

[treeslayer]

another view. My wife wants to know why so many? uh, duh, why not?:

 

[Sylvatica]

Nice fleet!

My wife asks why so many saws too. What a ridiculous question. It would be like asking her why so many shoes. Same answer, I like 'em, need 'em, and because thay are there, that's why.

 

[JimL]

your oiler not working on your 088?

 

[Sylvatica]

Good point. It's showing some heat/lube issues.

Is that rust?

Or mud?

 

[jimmyq]

Sweet, I love family portraits. Looks like good parentage.

 

[Mountainman]

First thing I would do with a 46 or 66 would be to add a dual port muffler front and pick up about 1/2 HP.

ht75

That appears to be an HT75. Had any shaft problems.
So far I only see operator error, not mechanical failure. Nice fleet, ALMOST perfect.

Beautiful family portrait.

Lovely, just lovely!

... stump cutting with the 088?
How do you like the 3120 ?

 

[JimL]

Uh, thats a HT101.

those shafts can be a pain in the ass. first one I did it ended up the little circlip came off. took me forever and a day to figure out what the hell was going on. Ended up takin apart a new one to figure it out.

 

[treeslayer]

I let a buddy cut a huge stump with the 088, thats Loudoun County red clay. The saw is very new, less than 4 hours on it.

The 3120 was power ported by Dan Henry, it is a very sick puppy.

I have every commercial Stihl, husqvarna's are next, and a Dolmar.

 

[stihltech]

HT

I got it down to 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. The secret is a LONG bench and a diagram right in front of you. AND a lot of dexterity.

The pain is the butt is a given.

 

[Sylvatica]

Loaned out a new 088?

Well, no doubt you are the generous and charitable type. :angel:

I have had moments of weakness too. And then you see the condition of the tools you've loaned out when they bring them back.
