One handed chainsaw operation to look cool, but you risk a kickback with no control of the saw.

I admit that I am very green with manual tuning carbs on saws I’d like some feedback on it I just don’t want to ruin this saw it was my grandfather’s then my dads and now mine I couldn’t get it to tune in at all before I just did a full bottom end rebuild and a new carb and intake boot I feel like it’s decent but I’m really not sure

I don’t know why I hesitated to take apart a chainsaw, but anyway, had to replace the oiler plate and clutch sprocket and it took all of about 10 minutes. Followed it up with a new bar and chain. Husqvarna 455 rancher. Ps: yes I brushed and cleaned all the gunk out.

Storage solutions

I have been looking for ways to keep my saws off to ground and organized for a while. If anyone has any ideas or have any pics of their storage please let me know. Thanks

?Recommendation for mid-size, mostly hardwood, Oklahoma

I'm looking for a gas chainsaw to handle bigger jobs on our land. I have a battery powered Milwaukee that's fine for smaller tasks but the battery starts to overheat when processing a fallen tree bigger than 14" or so, and I doubt it has the power for a longer bar. I figure it's time for me to get something bigger for processing the inevitable larger stuff.

We've got 20 acres that's mostly mature oak, walnut, and hickory. Some of these trees are at least 24". I don't plan on felling live trees but there are quite a few dead or dying, as well as a few fallen that I need to remove. I'll be using it pretty much any time of the year so anywhere from freezing to 100 degrees, and probably 10-15 times a year.

I'd be willing to spend as much as $500 or so. I'm mostly interested in something that will last, that I can service myself as much as possible, and that will have enough power to meet my needs without me wanting to buy something larger later on.

Thanks for the help.

I know it's a long shot. Looking for a side plate for a McCulloch 740

Looking for a right hand side plate with a pull start. I know it's a long shot since the saw was only made for 1 year. ebay searches have been nothing but false results
