    Next time I take the sprocket cover off I'll take a pic of the guide and see if you agree with my "that must be it" assumption. In the meantime, I filled out of these with bar oil:

    I don't think it's as critical to oil these as it is a gas saw, but they do need a little..

    I just got a clear one. The problem is I don't just oil it, I saturate it.

    I got mine for two reasons; one so I could work with it on a ladder, and two so my wife could use it should she choose to do so. Both have come to pass and I use it a lot when I only have a small amount to do. I have a lot of wood to cut now and winter is near, so I will be switching to my gas saws for that.

    I bought a pair of hooks that clamp to my tractor's bucket.

    [​IMG]

    These are used to clamp chains to. I bought a set in 2010 when I first got my tractor and I've beat them to death. I had to replace the threaded rod on one of them with a bolt and the other threaded rod is almost broken off. I'll be more careful with the new set.

    If anyone has need of a gently-used set, PM me and we'll work something out ;). You pay freight.

    I can't participate in this thread very much, because I try hard not to buy anything I can't touch first. Here are 3 things I've been looking for and almost ordered online. Finally found them by accident in town. Does that count? :) ;) :p

    Crush sugar-free powdered drink mix, boxes of six, $1.18/box

    (my kitchen drawer)

    I, too, try to support local merchants, @Nancy Hart, but there are many things not carried in stores here and even a lot that cannot be shipped here by normal means.

    I got sort of excited when I saw your powdered drink mixes. I ran over to amazon and looked around and low and behold! They had TANG! I didn't even know it was still available.:) I wonder if our astronauts need any.

    Our order of toilet paper and a few other things came in yesterday. First time ever have a issue. We ordered the Root RX from Amazon so much cheaper than here. The bottle was in a plastic bag, yet the bag was open, lid off inside of plastic, and the contents all over inside the box. :eek:. But hey are sending a new one free of charge ;)
