I yanked the pullcord out of my 031 from drop starting it haha I've got to be better about that, I'm just lazy and don't want to bend over haha. Other than that just worked on the yard mostly.

Whatttt?!? Better send it to me it's just ruined now. I'll recycle it

I put in long starter ropes so I can drop start them, some of mine have enough squeeze its hard on my back to do it on the ground

I shortened the rope on my 170 but I guess it's so light it doesn't matter. Makes drop starting even easier

I like to be able to pull through, a lot of times they are already running by the time I get the rope pulled out so I don't have to pull very hard

You're just a beast. I'm dainty lol. All my others are longer pull but the 170 takes extr pulls. And I drop start all my saws

So the handle doesn't hang out with all of the extra rope?

Pre load it a little tighter haha

 

[Kensie1988]

I'll try that, hopefully it won't be that hard, I really don't like the look of s droopy handle haha

 

[LonestarStihl]

I definitely like to hear original with the older saws. Nothing like it

And, I can start working on saws again!

Got any fun projects for your new mill table?
I was beginning to wonder the David as well. The thread has been pretty quiet without him.

A few saw cylinders will be going under the knife for sure, then, who knows haha

 

[LonestarStihl]

Where you at big guy?

I finally found a stihl 08S locally. Other than being super dirty, I think it's in good shape
