    dropped a tree on it ?
    At least you can salvage the bar and chain ?
    I was delimbing a willow a while back and it rolled over and tried pushing my 570 into the ground. Lucky I could dig and cut it out and it was still ok. A good reminder for me to put all my shit well out of way when using another saw.

    Looks like the tree had a bit of revenge.

    show us your chainsaws

    Stihl 056 magnum

    Hasn’t been running for 20 years

    Needs a piston so far as I can see. Will split the case, and check the bearings and seals.
    Replaced the crank on an 046 stihl last weekend after it was broken 15-20 years ago. That’s a saw that’s as good as any available today.

    Just had a good clean and sharpen before going back in the mill. Running skip tooth for the first time I must say I'm impressed.

    My first saw, a Pioneer, was destroyed in a similar manner. Dropping a shitty big old mac (widow maker). Started to topple, bar pinched, stepped back clear, tree twisted and saw actually fell free on LHS side of trunk, tree toppled completely but rolled to the left totally crushing my saw. And any niceties of releasing the powerhead just didn't come into it, there just wasn't time.

    Totally caused by my inexperience at the time.
    Never ever got myself in that situation again and we did a lot of old man macs over the years.

    Pretty pissed with myself at the time but went into town and bought my first new Stihl (045AV). 100 times better saw and never looked back.

    The motor from the 045 is still going but many years ago fitted to an early model 2 man BT360 post hole borer. That borer will go thru anything, including our district underground telephone cable. :-(

    I got a 100ft roll of the Oregon 27RX. It works so well, and so few teeth to sharpen.
