Just another junk chainsaw

Could just be the pic. But being they dont make outwears for a 500 air filter. It might not even fit across thatair filter and leaving gaps running it.
Looks like a rubber band stretched to its limits and not even fitting on there.

500 af looks wider? You have a HD2 from a 44 66 88 to compare?

Compared to a 44 66 88 HD2.

Just got to ask. You keeping your chains sharp? Chips not dust or maybe your milling?

Thats sad IMHO. Not seeing that here.

You know the 500 filter is not even on the outwears list for fitting that filter. ? Maybe not even fitting it right? Chainsaw Pre-Filters, Stihl

Looks like you need the max-flo.

My chains are sharp I’m out in the PNW where the dust off the bark is something else. If I’m cutting old growth style Doug Fir you will see a cloud of dust from the bark well cutting it gets on everything and into everything.
It’s not listed but it is made for the 500.
A max-flo would be nice but what would be nicer is if Stihl could get their act together and finally produce a filter setup that doesn’t allow fines past from day one like Husky does.

Fines gets by this HD 440 every time it is dropped off for work. Even with stihls prefilter.

But I know he pushes his chains to dust mode. Because I sharpen his chains when they come in too.


Came in for hard to start and throwing chains.


He had actually threw some parts from it he was so ticked at it.

Not quite as aggressive as I’d run normally in Doug Fir but you get the idea.

I used to hand file square and do square on grinder. Gave that all up.

She lives and starts easy again.

Give it a year she will be back in again.

Put a new bar on for him with new rim etc to see how these bars wear.

Picked up 2 61cc and a 38cc TH. Folks always asking for parts. But I already got 1 61cc running good.

Original homeowner saws that wasnt used anymore.

 

[xyz123]

Other one thin rings and chrome bore.

I'll post the bare bore thick ring again too.

Both red 3.7

 

[xyz123]

Needed a recoil shell for the last 3.7 saw. So instead of buying just a recoil I bought a whole parts 3.7 red saw.
What luck another 3700 61cc thin ring top.

Never saw a mag one break like that. Explains pulley wobble.
