  1. O.K been on Oregon chain selector for " Homelite Super XL Automatic. " They suggest a 70 drivelink , 3/8" pitch , 0.050" gauge chain (e.g 72LPX) for a 20" bar. The question is "what bar do you really have ?"
  2. 14" bar of 3/8" chain is usually about 50 drive links. Sounds like you have a 1/4" pitch chain.

    Pages 127-128 Badger by Timothy Roper (New Naturalist): 'Badgers are significant predators of both adult and young western hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus). When Patrick Doncaster, then a graduate student at Oxford University, radio-tracked hedgehogs on a farm in East Oxfordshire he found that 3 individuals from his sample of 12 adult hedgehogs were eaten by badgers within two months of the start of his study. Similarly, when he introduced 39 radio-tagged hedgehogs into Wytham Woods, near Oxford, seven were eaten by badgers (Doncaster 1992)Subsequent survey work by Doncaster and others on both local and regional scales, has revealed consistent negative correlations between hedgehog numbers and badger numbers, suggesting that the absence of hedgehogs from rural areas in most of western and central England is a consequence of predation by badgers. Hedgehogs persist to some extent in these regions by occupying suburban habitat, but even there they are unable to survive when badger sett density in surrounding rural areas exceeds about 10 setts /km sq.(Young et al,2006)'
  4. Lovely bit of parkland. Look better with a herd of rubies.
  5. Or even SNP/Labour coalition - Jox and Cox
  6. Skipping in the cut you say - Hmmm You haven't got one of those horrible 3/8 LP chains with guard tie straps ?
  7. You could start by opening up the exhaust - the saw may be restricted to meet noise regulations.
  8. And now you have to refit the tyre with out scratching the paint.
  9. I find the narrow tip of a Stihl rollamatic mini bar (as fitted to MS170 etc) excellent for hedge laying and coppicing. Carving bars usually have no nose sprocket and need to be run with a slack chain. I should imagine you will be constantly throwing off chains if using a carving bar for hedging. You can buy the 1/4" rollamatic mini bar (as on your Ms150) in 14" which is another option.
  10. What like 0.325" or 0.404"
  11. Don't forget your maintenance tools - Round files , flat files , depth guage ,groove cleaner , grease gun , piston stop etc.

    Pay

    Out of interest who paid for your training ? you or your boss?
  15. A local businessman was several months behind , paying for his garden to be landscaped. The landscaper happened to be removing a conifer hedge in his neighbours garden. After the businessman came home , the chipper was started up blowing chip all over the newly laid lawn. The businessman handed over a cheque and said " you will tidy up the mess " - " will I F..." was the reply.
  16. 1/4" Sprocket for MS170 - 1123 640 2077 10" bar 3005 008 3403 - 10" chain 3670 000 0056 12" bar 3005 008 3405 - 12" chain 3670 000 0064 14" bar 3005 008 3409 - 14" chain 3670 000 0072
  17. The 365 special has the chain tension screw on the clutch cover and newer tank caps. Both are 65.1cc,3.4Kw and 6.0Kg
  18. 2010 and bought oct 2010. 18stoner says his 2010 365 is not a special or an x-torq Eddy T says it will be x-torq. They can't both be right,but they could both be wrong.
  19. Just to add to the confusion - my ( bought new in 2010 ) 365 is a "special " not an "X-torq"
