I have a 97 200Xp that i believe just blew the rear main seal. It has the Ford in line 6 gas engine in it.
Luckily it happened at idle and we caught it quickly. Still a little oil at bottom of dipstick.
Trying to find parts and having a little trouble. Isn't there a 'used' dealer onsite here i...
Where are you guys buying chipper blades, nuts/bolts, and anvils these days. Bandit is forcing us to go through a local Bobcat Dealer and shipping is ridiculous.
I'm sure some of y'all have used this Stihl polesaw before...

Best I can tell it's the old ARS polesaw rebranded with a Stihl logo.
I'm in the market for a new blade for it and my question is....
Have any of you...
Stole some stuff off an old saddle today and did a little sewing. The Speedy Stitcher is a good tool!
Anyway, this mod might be a little overkill, but my Buckingham Retrofit Suspenders which have been sitting forever, are now retrofitted to my harness. And it's a good thing, because this saddle...
Trying to understand this a little better.
Does it happen to certain trees worse than others? If so, what bark characteristics are more inclined to damage?
Is it like sunburn in humans in that a resistance can be built up, similar to people gaining more pigment in the skin?
Anything else to...
I carry a sharp hatchet around with me and chop off any dirt laden bark where I'll be making a final stump cut. What is your preferred method of dirt removal to keep your saw chain fresh and clean?
Anybody have a link to documentation of good chainsaw usage? I'd like to have something to back me up when I try to teach my guys good technique, and they complain that it's uncomfortable, or they've seen guys doing it this way or that. I know the manuals state to not stand over the cut, but...
This is a bittersweet story. I'm putting it in the Awakenings section to remind people to keep your feet out of the chipper.

Thinking about rebuilding a couple of dead 200T's. Just wondering if any of you have done it and is it worth the time and $. Would be doing it myself and I have plenty of spare parts.
I have an MS460 that got beat up a little by a falling tree trunk. Nothing major, still runs fine, but I replaced the handlebar.
So, this thing seems to go through new bars and chains pretty quickly, cutting great at first, but then starts to bind up in the cut like it's curving. Is it possible...
This crossed my mind the other day. Any reason why this wouldn't work? Seems like in a rescue situation the groundies would already have a better understanding? Maybe have a separate PW for climbing? Seems it could be easier than some of the complicated setups I've seen. Thoughts?
Having trouble finding good ear muffs and mesh face shield for the Vertex Vent? Thanks to swingdude (Paul D) for this tip. He told me to try it awhile back. Took me awhile but worth the wait.
Props to ya P Diddy! (y) I hope it looks Stormtrooperish enough for you.
So, get yourself the...
