All good, nice and laid back way to de stump.. Only missing one thing.. Forced induction!! Just like a car performs better with a turbo, that burn barrel would probably (maybe), get it done in one shot. Electric leaf blower time! a little bit of metal ducting ( dryer kind) and silver dryer duct tape. Also, you drop chunks of hardwood down the chimney to keep it going if you chop the bits up small. Don't ask me how I know this 🙂
Usually when they throw a conrod it's grabbed on the crankshaft Meaning it no longer goes up n down bore but tries to rotate with crank That's why it broke then punched out the side
should be pretty easy to find a vertical shaft five hp engine. there aint no fixing that one. get it off there and see what shaft size the pump is and maybe you ll run into a cheap one off a lawn mower or at princess or something.
@@timberray9572 yeah I bought a Husqvarna 525l and that thing is a feather weight. Has decent power too and virtually no vibration. Smoothest trimmer I've ever had.
I have been lugging an MS460 around for years now. I only saw about 20 cord of firewood for several homes here on the farm plus the occasional tree removal since I got out of logging years ago. It definitely gets tiresome when limbing with it, I have smaller saws I just do not always feel like swapping saws back and forth and besides it makes up for it in the cut when you open up that horsepower.
I am a one saw Man myself, I am not sure if you have tried the Stihl light bar but it does make the saw feel a little more nimble. I have a 20inch light on my MS460 and I love that combo.
@@timberray9572 I haven't tried a light bar yet. I often tell myself that I am going to, but I never get around to it. Maybe this year since I will be turning 50.
I am actually thinking of getting rid of one of the big trailers, but then again I really don't have a lot of money tied up in them so I will probably keep them all.
As a professional driver I have seen a drastic spike in homeless people here in Winnipeg, I actually carry a Naloxone kit in my truck because I believe in giving people a second chance.
@@timberray9572 It's nice to see someone else on this rock that's human. I have the same philosophy/ideology as well - don't know why or how - must be from being around my good grandmother RIP 🌿✝️🕊️ Unfortunately there have been times where I've given 2nd and 3rd chances for people I have known. So after that third time? And they burn me again? It's done. I don't have the time & money to waste with people strung-out-on-stupid (not just drugs btw... gambling habits all the way to destructive gossip). Anyways God Bless you for your good heart. Best regards from Fresno California - Nick
I have the same weed Wacker as well and I think you might have just told me what is wrong with it ,it has been crapping out when it gets to about a half tank
I'll admit that having a motor that can be run both directions is great so you always have the bur to the inside of the cutter. But having it throw sparks away from you is more important for grinding dust collection! We remove the undesirable bur on the back side when we clean the chains after sharpening! Better for your health and better overall product, a modern hydrolic clamping sharpener is so much faster! Years ago i started with this same model BF chain sharpener and loved it till i wore it out and tried the first modern sharpener, i wouldnt go back if you paid me. Imo, keep up the great content. 👍
My content ain't that good, but thanks. I use my Stihl grinder more than the Foley nowadays, I don't worry about the tiny burr it leaves on the one side of the cutters because they disappear as soon as you start cutting.
I have worked with bodybuilders in the past and I always offer them a free workout membership, I ask them to go tree cutting with me and they will get all the exercise they could ever want, so far no one has taken this opportunity of a lifetime.
I already have two other trailers for my ATV, but they both have a 4x6ft box and with the tires on each side they are to wide for the trails. Also this new trailer has suspension so I should be able to cruise at least around 25 to 30mph, my other trailers you don't want to go past 15mph.
This new generation worries the hell out of me, I hod carried through the summers when I was a kid . Ground level I could keep four layers going , good ole days
I remember soon after my eight birthday my playtime was over and any free time I had I spent working on my Dads cattle ranch, I wouldn't change a thing.
I thought I was very clear, the new saws have too many electronics on them and when they fail you have to go back to the dealer to reset or fix them. I prefer to wrench on my own saws.
I own a few Stihl saws, the 026 I purchased new in February of '91. The last 3 saws I purchased, a 661 and 261 are non Mtronic models. Both are running fine and other than the flip caps have given me no issues. The 201tc on the other hand has been a disappointment. One thing after another one. Husqvarna are just as bad if not worse. So, treasure those old relics for as long as possible. MAGA strong!
Both my 260 and 460 have been bulletproof, just regular maintenance like cleaning the air filter and occasionally changing the sparkplug and fuel filter.
I don't always agree with your opinions on different saw topics but this time I whole heartedly agree with you and then some. Most of the last saws built before m-tronic or autotune took over when it comes to performance and long lasting durability regardless of brand are pretty hard to beat, Husqvarna 300 and yes reaching back 200 series along with their red cousins Jonsered 2100 and 600 series. Stihl "0" series saw's are the benchmark of great Stihl saws and their slightly upgraded newer MS saws, plain and simple reliable is the word and yes almost anyone can repair them. Biggest sore spot for me on the 500i is the insane retail price then after that is it's long list of build quality issues that everyone turns a blind eye to but is already well known, yes Stihl has done a great job of marketing hoopla of their new saws. I have a sampling of many before mentioned vintage or "classic" brands and models, I won't be getting rid of them anytime soon lol!
I’m seeing a lot of people that share your opinion. I jumped on the 500 band bandwagon and have been putting cash away to buy one this summer. I convinced myself I needed one but after watching many videos I’ve decided to stick with my 461. I’m not a logger, just cut firewood and 461 does just fine. Thank you for saving me 1600 bucks.
