Yeah, that's probably a good mod to look at doing.  Need to swap out the sprocket too to run a wider chain?  Happen to have links/part numbers to what you used?

 

I gotta say, I like it a lot more now that I got rid of that easy start crap.  I HATED that, but then I'm used to regular saws.

 

What "metal dogs" are you referring to?  I haven't done any chainsaw work at all other than swapping crankcases on this MS180, so I'm not up on the chainsaw parts descriptions.

Dogs: (it came with 2. I can send you the other one if you want it. I think it had 2 sets of screws too) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N0IJAD2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

bar and chain (this bar and chain works with the original sprocket-its only wider)

I wonder why your video is age restricted...

May be a couple of terms in the title: “dropping back” or “leaning ash” lol 

Those look good.  I was going to say they look mud-lite-ish but fish said it better.  Great price!

Back in the fall, I bought a new 180 with the regular recoil starter, not the easy start.  It's not meant to be on par with  the bigger saws.  I use either my ms290 or 029 Super for regular firewood chores.  But for cutting smaller trees, limbs etc, I much prefer the 180.  It's so light it doesn't wear you out.  If you switch the stock .043 gauge bar to a .050 gauge it will cut so much better.  The thinner stock bar gets pinched way too easy and can be frustrating.  The wider one tends to chug on through.  I also put the metal dogs on it - it already had places to screw them on.

Actually not a bad idea. 

That took some effort 

Turbo? Is that marketing language or does it have one?

I've bought and sold a few atv's and sxs's on line.  I've had very good luck with sellers and buyers - regular folks.  But, I'm careful and get a very good feel for them before they come here or I go there.  I've ignored many.  Heck, it turned out the seller of my commander was, and I guess still is, a minor/medium A&E reality tv personality from your town, Fish.  When I bought it, he lived in an area I think is a good bit North of you but still in LA when I went for a test drive - delivered the machine to me at my home a few days later.

When I restored my 06 foreman last year, I was having persistent problems with the carb leaking some fuel.  I cleaned the carb probably 3 times.  The last time, I wrapped super fine steel wool over the cotton around the ends of q-tips.  I made two or three of these.  I pushed them into the seat and spun them with my fingers a time or two at fairly light pressure.  I havent had it leak since.

ain't love grand. lol, the crazy redhead i was with,  tried the same stunt with one of her best friends at a party, yes both were 3 sheets to the wind, i stepped in got the keys, let me tell you something, never get in the middle of to femals fighting! just stand back and enjoy the show, till it gets real bad. (loss of clothing) 

Heck, that sounds like the good part! lol

There was one a big one near here maybe a decade or so ago that got raided. After they stopped the chickens from killing one another, the state vet killed them all, which seems ironic. But really it’s not. These birds can carry diseases that could threaten the commercial operations and therefore the food supply. 

Hmm. I don’t know why. Here’s a link to same story on a different site:

If that weren't enough, oh the irony of where it cut him.  I guess the rooster took fighting cock literally.

82 F here right now. SW MS US

Why does this thread have no posts in it!?!?  lol 😁

Brookhaven is 20 miles North of me. They do have some really good prices at times. I was getting some parts there for my foreman early in the summer or late in the spring and they had talon 1000s for a hair over 15k. The prices on the foremans and ranchers were good too. But there was still a good supply then - not sure about now.

Starting off at 39F this morning @6:00 , rained hard all night long ----  looks like it is going to dip to freezing one more time on Saturday morning to 28 with a high of 55F  ---- after that  it's  66F on Sunday  ,  I think  winter is over for us , they have us in the mid 60s-low 70s  for the next week plus ---- the last two days were miserable , can't imagine a solid week of that --- we were lucky again , Texas got hit harder than us , it drifted right up and over southeast Louisiana  into mid to northern Louisiana 

Yep Spring is on the way here too after days of ice on the roads.

Mine on my 02 was worse than yours and he made it look new.  He'll probably have some tips on restoring the "glass" on the cover and there's some videos on youtube that are helpful.

My wife is an RN and hasn’t been able to leave the hospital since Sunday because of the ice. So I made the 18 mile round trip to town on my side by side to get her. Winched two stuck vehicles on the way. Had to sink it in a ditch so I could pull. 

When I began to pull that big suv, the front of it dropped off the side of the road into that ditch.  It was everything my 4K warn could do to pull it.  I figured the line would snap.  That red line the guy is stretching out is some synthetic line I replaced the steel cable with about a year ago.  It came from amazon and I wasn't sure of the quality.  But it held.
 

Thanks.  That's a little spot on the creek bank a couple hundred yards from the house where we build fires and such.

I got the foreman out of the shed after all. Seemed like one or more of the tires were flat spotted - bump bump. They slowly smoothed out and were smooth by about 10 or so minutes. I guess they’re like me - not used to the cold. 
 

We’re getting sleet in sw ms. Pretty unusual. 
 

I put the door tops back on my commander and rigged up a temporary heater/blower in my gun rack so it would be more comfy to cruise. 
 

I think the foreman is staying in the shed today!
