    SLD? Rapid expansion due to gasses?

    I think the intent of the magazine article was to just to rehash that the park rangers were just getting people to keep their wits about them. This is Yosemite, and California does see more intense drought conditions than most states. Maybe SLD is more common there, IDK. As far as mitigating the...

    Huh?

    SLD? Rapid expansion due to gasses?

    This popped up my news feed a few days ago. This is the first time I've heard this particular explanation. https://www.advnture.com/news/relaxing-under-trees-can-be-seriously-dangerous-warn-yosemite-park-rangers

    Dueling chainsaws

    Agree it loses its edge faster than Stihl. Stihl is superior to average chain no doubt. I would like to see the Archer compared in a legit test to Oregon though, because in my experience it holds it edge at least as well as Oregon, maybe even better. But I commented because the original intent...

    Dueling chainsaws

    In timed cuts, the archer cuts in half the time of the PMM3 on my 193. That said, I don't thinks it's the ticket for narrow cuts on a 201, but it's definitely the ticket for getting faster cuts out of a 193/194 running the stock bar. Care to explain this comment? What data have you gathered to...

    New 201..

    There was another recent thread where user claimed his newish 201 did same thing. We suggested maybe someone screwed up mix. Apparently something else is going on. The tar has to be oil, so it has to be coming from mix (too rich, break-in) or strangely from some point in bar oil circuit.

    who needs a winch (hard lean tale)

    Cool read. I'll download and take a look when I have some time.

    Is that overall efficiency, as in 2:1 was actually 1.86:1? or were they referencing the efficiency of just the pulley?

    @Jehinten beat me too it! F=operator pull For 3:1 Total=F + F*.83 + F*.83^2 = 2.5*F So 2.5:1 actual

    @Bart_ I think you need to use n-1 in the exponent. The total pull is the sum of the lines, and one line, the one you're operating, doesn't get reduced by the factor. Right?

    who needs a winch (hard lean tale)

    Just a question. When you're using that much leverage, do you feel comfortable using a base anchored pull line connection to tree. The base anchor by it's nature will impart a force vector down the stem, though how much depends on friction up top and rope angle obviously. I would rarely question...

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    Agree 100%, but the problem Phil is having is that he can't seem find the actual slimline drum anywhere. That's how this ended up at this point. That said, the Oregon part may actually be worth modifying, IF it doesn't just work right out of box.

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    Oregon tech service said the 100791X fits the 260, but they could not talk much about the saw being adjustable or non-adjustable oiler. The problem is that they said Stihl calls for the same part number on the 260 and 260 Pro, and they know nothing of their being a different part available...

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    I would honestly consider getting the cheapest one I could get and putting it a drill press and filing it down to the right dimension ;) The bitch of going to Oregon, while inexpensive, is rims aren't interchangeable with Stihl rims in case that's an issue. @Phil I have to laugh at the whole...

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    Gotcha. But will the Oregon part rub? It could be different dimension than the Stihl adjustable oiler counterpart. IDK, just spitballing.

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    That's what I read too and that's what the Oregon part mimics. There was somebody on another site that said the adjustable oiler drum could be used in place of the non-adjustable oiler drum. IDK.

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    So you measured from point 1, where the drum physically stops on the shaft? Here's both mine and yours for comparison. The OEM has that little recess, so just wondering if that will measure out to same as Oregon. May not, but you see where I'm going. When I used my tape and measured depth using...

    Dueling chainsaws

    Which chain? I run the 16" Stihl PS3 ( full chisel) on my 201tc and have been pleased. But if you ran the PM3 semi, I feel your pain.

    Dueling chainsaws

    The Archer"s been on the 193T full time for quite a while now and I think that's what will stay on the saw. My 193 is a backup for both the 2511 and 201T, so it's got to be able to swing either way. But, I keep the 193 on the truck full time so it sees all kinds of stuff; poison ivy, fallen...

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    @Phil I was just taking a look at the 11211602900 oem part that you're looking for. I noticed that the top of part where the spline is has a pronounced bell. The effect appears to be that the side walls where the clutch engages is thinner. But the overall measurement from outside edge of...
