Put a centrifugal clutch and sprocket on one and it makes a great go cart motor.Looks like my saw but not me. I have never ran my saw without a bar or chain.

Stoopid question for you chainsaw experts. WTF do you guys use to cut dead trees down with that wont destroy the chain before making one cut, I'm talking about is there a special chain/bar combo that would work better.
Keep in mind I am a cheap bastard, and dont use the best equipment as far as saws.
Cool , thanks for the info I'll see what I can find on Baileys site. And Yup its mostly big ass old locust with them huge friggen thorns, and some osage range , its just as bad cuz there full of barbwire.You are looking for Semi chisel chain . It's not as fast as Full chisel , but it tolerates dirty wood much better . If You can find it , Stihl RMC chain is probably the best , but also a bit pricey . If You can't find that , go to
www.baileysonline.com look for woodland pro chain . I use that chain a lot , and I'm very happy with it.
BTW ,If You're cutting old locust ,or Osage, nothing lasts long in that stuff .

Sounds like a heller deal to me, lemme guess I pay the shipping for the wood?Look at it this way ,once You get it cut and split ,You won't have to cover the stacks . That stuff could lay in a swamp for 30 years and never rot . I'd love to get into a stand of either of those woods . the only downside to Osage is that it does love to put on a show of sparks . As far as the wire .... Nothing will help with that ,just have to be careful .
Hey , I just got one of My brilliant ideas !!!! I'll send You 10 chains for Your saw , You send Me 1 cord of Osage . Doesn't even have to be split !I prefer 16" lengths , but will accept 18 " .
How's that for a # 1 good deal there GI ?

That IS a heller deal.And the chains !
That IS a heller deal.
I hope that You don't think that this is a special deal just for You . I've made similar offers to many folks . Mind You, the amount of chains that I send is commensurate with the quality of the wood sent back .
I've only been burned once , Muleman sent Me a box 4x4x8 ' of white oak saw dust . Cost Me two rusty , rocked chains to find out He was less than honorable to deal with .
Murph , that turbo name comes from the way the air intake is designed . Kinda works on the same principle as Bagless Vacuums . If Your saw predates the Purchase by Husqvarna , that may be one of the reasons they Bought out J'red . It's a great system !
Just got the 372 back . It's a horse .. running an 8 pin on it with a 20" bar .
8 pin? I imagine it has something to do with the chain. Enlighten a rookie here.
Asshat! When you wake up some morning to a box blocking your drive you will remember your cutting remarks. I knowI hope that You don't think that this is a special deal just for You .

I can get enough conspirators to help me unload it.
Well if you stack it right to begin with these things don't happen! I have had one stack fall over since I am here and I did not stack it. The wind sure can move things around. I saw a little bit of movement in the new stack in the woodshed yesterday.
As you can see mine stayed where it was supposed to. Got a long way to go to fill the shed.
Yep on the outside boiler. It is a 6048 central boiler and rated at 500,000 BTU. It will put out the heat if you got the wood to feed it. I burn 2-3 tri axle loads plus some slab wood since I added the greenhouses. It takes a lot of heat to keep them warm with the wind. Still cheaper than oil or propane would be.
