So sorry mate . Thoughts are with you all .
-
Same !
-
Went to Coombelands cross country course to cheer on two friends of my wife who were competing in the pairs event . Sunny day .
-
Oh yea you are !
-
So did you remove it ?
-
Yea but I think you can .... 268 is in relative terms a relic ( good saw in its day ) the 550 albeit smaller capacity is more efficient in delivering its power and may cope fine . I have a 560 and run that on an 18" and its well within its scope . I think a 550 would be ok . but as has been said best on 13" - 15" .
-
These are the reasons for not running an 18" bar on a 550 then ?

Going to murder his chain converting after skidding though !

Using 11/64 (4.5mm) file instead of 3/16 on .325
Stubby replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
I started a thread a while back about filing out the gullets and people did not get what I was on about ! -
I usually say do you want me to pop round and do a bit of house work for you and maybe wash your car as well ?

Using 11/64 (4.5mm) file instead of 3/16 on .325
Stubby replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
Yep have done . Start with 3/16 (4.8) then when cutter is half used up step down to 11/64 (4.5) to avoid filing into tie straps . -
Warm ( ish ) spring sun shine here Jon . Makes me feel better mate . How you getting on with your neighbor after the boundary thing ???

Well , as we all have said at one time on here " All wood will burn if seasoned and bone dry " but it must be said some are better than others . If you stripped the bark stacked it , kept in the dry and aired it well I think it will burn but is the effort worth the output ? possibly , possibly not , I don't know so if anyone does I would be pleased to learn of their experience with it . I heard it was used for cladding ....

What you say here is about the top and bottom of it in a nut shell . I am 60 and love " being " in the woods but I have had enough by 2.00pm and its hard enough to make money even if you work till 4.30 or so . It a young mans game and at the same time a mugs game if you want to at least eat every day . The rates are toooo low to be fair to the amount of back ache and fatigue involved . The only thing you get out of working in the woods is sleep !

Ours had been killed by the old " money fungus " We had to take some to his log shed as well . It was dead standing so he had a " test burn " and said it was ok but there was alot of smoke from his stack and I suspect not much fire !

We took down a big red wood last year and the customer said he had some one who wanted the big rings to make a sculpture but was happy to let hem go for nothing . Crap fire wood ( almost fire proof ! ) so I think you did well there !!!

I have a d22 which is an 05 ( last of that shape ) and its coming up to the 70k mark which , if the are going to break ,is when they go, apparently . I was concerned when it all came up about the conrod failure and went to see my dealer . He told me that out of all the d22 that they had sold or came through their workshop they ha only 2 that had broken . They were fixed under warranty and they had not been serviced when they should . I understand that if you change the oil and filter every 6k there won't be a problem so that is what I do . He also said that it was a "small" batch of faulty con rod bolts from a supplier and only affected a relatively small batch of early models .

They only rotate anti clockwise when viewed from above its clockwise when viewed from underneath . Just relativity ..........
-

Top handle is mounted where starter pull should be so either flipped image ( as has been said ) or a very rare left handed saw .
-
Or its a left handed saw .
