Reg, In the video you said that you remove the limbs on the front side, but leave the backside limbs until after you drop the top. I believe you mentioned this would be to help counterbalance the forces where the zipline is rigged to the tree. What are your thoughts on this causing the...

You guys on TH amaze me. Glad I found this place and can be a fly on the wall.. -Michael

Bix, You and your crew do a great job. nice video. Also, from the vista views, you live in a beautiful part of the country. Michael

Got it. I wasn't sure if the reference to rim was about the slot in the bar. I'm also sure others may not know what you meant. This helps a lot. Thanks for clearing that up.

Magnus, It is unclear what you mean when you say tiestraps and rim. Can you clarify this ? Thanks.

This makes sense. After seeing the wear on my sprocket, it's easy to understand how this can cause wear/damage to the chain and bar. The moral of this story I am hearing is, if you want to get good life out of your saws, sharpening the chain is not enough. You also need to check the bar and...

That was GREAT post. However, they REALLY should put the date they posted this info. If this was from 10 years ago, how would we know how valid it is... Still, it's a great read. Michael

Oregon web site says the same thing - replace the sprocket about every 2 chains

This is really interesting. Sounds like I wouldn't want to put much effort into my old first saw. Based on your chart, the Husky 460 I have should get me much better mileage. I am curious about 2 things you said: 1- Where did you get this information from ? 2- That is a lot of run-time for...

Nick, What did you end up doing with your new acquisition ?

Magnus, My MAC3516 says McCulloch Corp on it, lists the Model and Serial numbers on it. It may be old, but I have gotten a lot of good use out of it - would like to keep it if it's worth replacing the sprocket/chain and tuning up. Can you explain what you mean by "20hr engine" and how would...

Yes, exactly. You always amaze me. Is there anything you don't know ? This is my first saw - a MAC3516. It's in need of a good cleaned up. The Oregon Parts look up says is uses the Consumer Sprocket 29888. Is the same as the "106906X Oregon Consumer Spur Sprocket" on TreeStuff...

Not sure what wear marks you are referring to. Here is a shot of the sprocket. Let me know what you think. Or if I need to shoot it from another angle.

How chewed up does a chainsaw sprocket have to be before you want to replace it ?

...and I'll bet Gerry's head didn't even swell a bit when Auguste posted this thread :-) Gerry, I have been tree-climbing going on 2 years now. I have read about a dozen Rock climbing books, and then read Jeff Jepsons first books. I only bought your Fundamentals book about 3 weeks ago and am...

Definitely give New Tribe a call if you have questions. I spoke with them when I bought my Onyx (from Tree Stuff) and they are very helpful. -Michael

Onyx ?

What happened to Fillet Mignon, Porterhouse, T-Bone, London broil ? I guess it really does matter 'how' you cut it up.

Kevin, I went to UofM and wish I could make it, but it's not in the cards for me this year. Sigh... -Michael
