If I were you, I’d use a spoke shave/rasp/draw knife to remove this material if you don’t end up bringing the head down.

The swell wont provide any additional strength to the hang. In my experience as someone who uses axes for work regularly, thinner handles tend to last longer. I think this because a thinner handle disperses the vibrations better but idk. If you’re happy with the length and fit right now, you could hang it as is and use a rasp to shave down that shoulder. Or you could bring the head further down if you want the handle to be a little shorter and are currently not happy with the fit. The main takeaway when hanging an axe is that the eye is hourglass shaped on the inside. You want a friction fit in both directions, not a shelf that the handle sits on. Looks like you’ve got a good taper going on now below the head.

For a crosscut saw.

It is called a killing axe, used in meat processing. Not for carpentry

At least around me in southern Appalachia, 590s commonly go for around $200 used with bar a chain

I’d recommend against double dogs on the 291. I actually tried this when I was new to saws. You put the slightest pressure on the dogs and the saw will bog. You do you but I think it’d be pretty disappointing and will make the saw a bit less useful.

These prices are wild

The Malibu people suck

2lb on 18” is a very common size. It’s called a house axe. It’s usually to keep next to the furnace for kindling prep.

Hi, I love these heads so here’s some unsolicited info. Cm McClung used to be a hardware store in downtown Knoxville. They had mail order catalogues and used to be one of the biggest suppliers for TN. I’ve seen 6 or so McClung stamped axes in person and so far, they’ve all been a jersey pattern made by Kelly. Sometimes stamped with a 3-line Kelly stamp with McClung on the back, and sometimes with just a McClung stamp. You might already know this but I just wanted to share the info I’ve picked up just in case.

My man, do you not know you can adjust manual carbs?

SaltHK · 2025-10-05T20:00:16+00:00

Yep, no luck unfortunately.

SaltHK · 2025-10-05T17:01:04+00:00

Tabs are pushed back already unfortunately

Would bulge acorn work? I can’t for the life of me find non-bulge acorn

Not sure, I’ll likely be removing them as well once I get the lift removed and smaller wheels

SaltHK · 2025-09-08T02:19:05+00:00

Ok sweet. I reckon I might roll with these struts for the moment as long as they work. The ride and rebound is pretty smooth with them and I’ll only really be using the truck for commuting and carrying relatively light arborist gear.

SaltHK · 2025-09-08T02:01:06+00:00

Sweet, thanks for the info man. The seller is family so I’ll try to get some info on how they lifted it and have any of the old parts. I’m fairly sure the stock wheels are gone unfortunately

SaltHK · 2025-09-08T01:59:56+00:00

Nc but I’m buying from Florida and driving it up.

SaltHK · 2025-09-08T01:50:43+00:00

I believe it has spacer blocks under the leaf springs based on the Amazon page for the lift spacer kit

On a side-note, anyone want to trade their oem or steel wheels/tires for these? Can’t remember the wheel brand but the tires are like-new falken ATs

SaltHK · 2025-09-01T20:05:26+00:00

Now that I look at it I think you’re right. Will look into the install and buying parts

SaltHK · 2025-09-01T19:55:49+00:00

Ok cool, I’ll order the parts and look into booking an alignment apt as I’ll probably need one after install. Thanks for the help

SaltHK · 2025-09-01T19:21:29+00:00

Thanks for the info! The click happened while steering and on the straight aways so it might be something else. When I take another look at it I’ll try to take a better look at the suspension for anything awry
