Maybe, when I get time I'll post pictures and some measurements on here and maybe someone will know what it fits.

Lol it just means the diameter of the tree, pulp wood is any tree under a Diameter base height of around 12 and under, they ship them off to the mill to chip up and turn into pulp to make paper.

Yea I may not know didly squat about chainsaws but forestry put me through college even though it's not what I ended up getting a degree in lol

You said you have a desk job didn't you? What exactly do you do during the day just curious

I am a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Specialist for and Evnironment company out of Shreveport. GIS systems are used to make maps for analysis and also perform analysis on geographic data. I got my degree in Geographic information science through the forestry department at Louisiana tech university. GIS work as been kinda slow the past two years with the company so I learned AutoCAD and Piping to step up and fill some staffing holes in the drafting department going out to facilities drawing isometric drawings and piping and instrumentation diagrams for our parent companies refineries, we then bring them back to the office and redraw everything into formal documents. So that's mostly what I've been doing the past two years, every now and then I get a decent amount of GIS work.

Being brought up working with my dad outside doing Landscape (not mowing grass) work makes me miss having a more physical job.

I understand what you mean about wanting to get out more, and like they say the grass is always greener on the other side, It sounds like your "greener" probably isnt the grass though haha. I'm an automotive Technician by day and I like to play around as a machinist/saw tech/welder/whatever needs done at home kinda guy. I enjoy working with my hands and all but it's hard on your body. I just wish I had went through with getting a degree in mechanical engineering like I always said I would.

That's why I'm getting into this, I've always liked to tinker and now that I have a shop I can on these saws. As far as being a mechanical engineer goes, that would probably be the most fun out of all the engineers. All the other engineers except maybe electrical are all mostly desk jockies like me. I've met my fair share of them and sometimes they have the personality of a rock lol

Yeah, some engineering stuff can turn you into a zombie, and I figured the only one I would care for is mechanical engineering, but I would want to do the whole package. Design it, build it, put it to use

I'm working on my chemical engineering degree right now. It doesn't leave me much time to work on saws. I won't get to do any serious work on saws until Christmas break. I'm in my senior year and I just have to keep looking forward to graduating to keep going.

I know that feeling all to well, and if you thought you had CAD now, just wait until you are not having to spend all of you money on college lol. Unfortunately I got infected with this after I got married lol

I sell saws to pay for parts to fix more. I've even sold saws before to buy books for school. I'm sure the CAD will get worse with time. I travel a lot and go to many scrap yards, so I get many saws.

Theres people who tell you to work your passion and you'll never "work" a day in your life...... there full of s$!+. I tried that, graduated from wyotech in 06' trained in automotive tech with chasis fabrication and high performance engines. Ive been turning wrenches since i was tall enough to get into dads toolbox. What "they" dont tell you is when youre working your "passion" all day everyday for little pay it becomes work anyway and after 8-10 hours of working on other peoples junk the last thing you want to do is come home and do it some more for free. You guys with the engineering degree are a step ahead.

I've heard people say that as well, I haven't done enough of my passion in the 5 years I've been out of school to be burnt out on it yet lol

If you keep what your passionate about your hobby, it will always be fun, but as soon as you try to make it what puts food on the table it changes the game completely

So I have the repair kit for my 925 carb, so I will be rebuilding it here shortly and I was working my way down to the crank seals I watched a video on diagnosing air leaks in a chainsaw, one of the big ones was an exhaust leak where the piston sucks outside air in though a leaky gasket in the muffler, and I remembered after looking at the piston, I don't even have a gasket for the muffler, it didn't come with one. Could that possibly be the cause of the saw leaning in and out by itself?
