Same thoughts here Kensie. Been almost a year for me on the forum with the majority of my activity on this thread. I have enjoyed every moment of it and cannot wait to see where it goes from here. It has been a huge part of getting me through the semester actually, a world away from the physical one I am in currently. Nobody gets this mechanical stuff at school and it is so nice to just talk and discuss on here.

I hear ya! I love any kind of chainsaw talk! I think thats why i make so many YouTube videos, so i can go back and watch them lol

 

[Kensie1988]

I also just made one on the History of Homelite. Had a buddy tell me it would be cool to learn about the histories of these companies and of some of the saws.

I agree 100%.
This thread and the people in it are a huge encouragement to me, and it has helped me get through some frustrating and not-so-fun times in life.

So I've heard that you're supposed to keep pistons and their wrist pins together, and not mismatch them...

If I buy a NOS piston that does not have a wrist pin, could I run it safely with a brand new wrist pin that was not specifically matched to the piston?

 

[s sidewall]

Press fit in the piston or rod. If rod you should be ok, if piston, that's where fitment comes into play.

Yeah, the mail is rough on saws.. If a buyer or seller doesn't live too far away it's better to just deliver it yourself. I also never buy large items from overseas.

 

[LonestarStihl]

I won’t go into my extreme distaste for usps. I use fedex for my packages generally and have better results

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Any recommendations for overseas shipping? I have to send a package over break and should start thinking about that.

My pick is always fedex. Next is ups

Go on a cruise and deliver it in person.

You paying? If so sure!

Shoot, if I was paying, fishing rods are going, night fishing on the back of one of those slow moving boats would be fun.
