Talking about big trees, i had a friend growing up who had two oak trees in his front yard, that i doubt 3-4 grown men arm to arm couldnt get around, his parents had an expert come and try to date them. They concluded those two trees were alive when columbus got here

Wow that's crazy! My parents have some big willow oaks around the house that have quite a bit of board ft in them, my dad plans on cutting them down.

If the trees get that big i leave em unless they die, i hate seeing monster be taken down if not nessacery, i badly want to see the redwoods in my life time, and you know the biggest ones of those are gone too before they got protected

That's awesome. I love trees they have so much history

I agree, I want to see them before I die too

Yes! I need to find me a full wrap handlebar for it, or I might keep the regular one, I don't know yet

I got two NOS mcculloch carburetors in the mail today. I put one on my super pro 60 and it cranked right up, but it idled too fast. I cut it off and adjusted the idle screw and then I tried to restart it but I forgot to turn the switch back on and I think I flooded it. I got my carburetor for my pro Mac 700 and put it on my saw and the throttle lever wasn't like my saw so I pulled out the shaft out of my old carburetor and went to put it in my new one and I can't seem to get the spring right where it springs back. Did I mess up by trying to switch them out? Is there a trick to getting it right?
Thanks

Boy idk ive never pulled a throttle shaft out of a saw carb

 

[astnmacgto]

There is only one correct way haha. If you would like I can pull the cover on one of my 700s and snap some close up pics for you

 

[astnmacgto]

It'll be tomorrow though

 

[brandonstc6]

I see how the spring goes on, I just can't get it to spring back. It might be that I don't have it wound tight enough

Just a warning i may be doing an inventory reduction sale in the future on some saws, i need to pick a couple brands to specialize in there gonna be poulan and stihl. So i may have some homelites among others to sell

 

[46 Poulan]

Sounds interesting--------That sounds like a plan-Just 2 brands----I got to think about this--Weigh all the +++++ and the ---------- . WOE!! to heavy for me to deal with!!! Sorry---My mind went to Defcon Level 4 code Red for a minute then I remembered it was Boomer not me who is going to JUST 2 BRANDS--ARRRRRRRRRR!!!!

 

[Boomer 87]

Well let me be clear, im keeping muscle saws regardless of brand so my super xl 923 w/ 36" bar stays, but i do got a few super xls or xl12 an echo or two one dolmar but it stays also i MAYBE will sell a poulan super 25 or two

 

[46 Poulan]

Whew!!!- I though you had lost it. I am still tramatized by it. I need to hold my 35 Mcculloch till it gets heavy then i will feel some better. Be careful what you say here -My mind is young and impressionable. LOL--David UPS brought it today-Been wanting 1 for years. Chain and bar like new--Has compression-been sitting a longgggg time. Feels well balanced with out bar.
