Thread: show us your chainsaws

Not only that but the saw runs better with less load and it seems to clear better. Mind you this is Japanese cedar so it's not really hard. Once this is finished there's a black locust acacia which I'm certain will be a better test.

Yes, sad but true, occasionally we'll have a destination fucked! moment



I wondered what the wife was doing up on the ridge dancing about like a mad woman

Turns out she was trying to tell me I was about to run over my favorite chainsaw

Doesn't look too flat considering. Just turn it up the other way and go over it again to straighten it out

A mere flesh wound. Take more than a dozer to kill a Husky.

Great buying, I bought the same this past winter. Manuka saw when out at the huts, either on the quad or truck.

Hopefully this explains the difference between inboard and outboard clutches Phil_H

Stihl had them from the 024/034/064084 onwards, husqvarna were later to the inboard clutch party. I don't know firsthand because I've never done any milling but apparently an outboard clutch is preferred by some people for milling , the theory being it transfers some heat out of the crankcase on long sustained cuts at full power. I think theres a bit of wishful thinking there but like I said I've never milled.

Inboard clutch is easier to change a worn outboard sprocket too. The Stihl can be an arse to undo the clutch nut. Brute force. Yeah I know, a piece of rope fed into the spark plug hole. I just use the plug that came with each saw I bought but the nut is hideously tight sometimes. Message to self, remember to turn in the correct direction.

A recent shift has seen my chainsaw family get together.



My 1958 Series 1 Solo Rex 125cc saw got a clean up. Had it running for the first time in 10-12yrs, which would have woken the dead in my local suburbia. She sure is loud & proud. My father bought this saw in about 1959-1960 from what I can find in history and was used right up until the early 80's. The big Canterbury wind of 1st Aug '75 gave it plenty of work on the farm, with tall pines & blue gums down everywhere. Love it with all it's noise & nostalgia.
