Hi T Bone, I hope you didn't perceive there was any effort on my part to "back pedal" in my response concerning Ray's chainsaw problem. Unless I specifically indicate otherwise, You can depend on me to post only information that can be documented with known facts. That Ray's saw developed a problem after he changed fuel may or may not be significant. Relying solely on ones own personal experiences, and/or the anecdotal beliefs passed on by others, can easily lead to incorrect conclusions. Assume a person dies from a bee sting while eating grapefruit. Lacking any insights or information to the contrary a convincing case could be made that grapefruit can kill you. Another example I'm sure you've heard more than once is that an engine needs exhaust backpressure to develop full power and/or avoid burning of the exhaust valves. The fact is, no matter how often this is repeated, how plausible the explanations supporting this contention may be, or how firmly one believes it, it is simply not true. The potential causes I offered Ray were in no way speculative or defensive. As it turns out, Ray's saw is of an age("approx a 1960 model") that it could easily have one or more plain bearings. If one is ambitious enough to read all the information I posted in this thread, several cautions concerning this will be found. If one chooses to disregard the suggestions I offer in this forum my only concern is that I clearly presented the information being disregarded. But, there is no need or intention on my part to save face by back pedaling from anything I posted on this topic...Al English

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
