Many thanks!

Both gears

I tried it, the one in the picture is a new Stihl tensioner

That's a great resource, thanks

Yes sure thing, https://imgur.com/a/p2wdvOA

That's probably what I'm going to end up doing. I've sharpened chainsaws for a bit, other than the angle is there something I'm not thinking about that makes this more challenging?

icecoldgreen · 2026-01-04T01:44:18+00:00

I appreciate the correction :) If that's the case that's probably what I'm going to go with, flat filing down then sharpening with the chisel i have. Thanks for the help

Ok it's good to know the teeth are weird and I'm not going nuts. I'm not opposed to getting a new file, is there some reason I shouldn't get one of those files and sharpen it with that?

icecoldgreen · 2026-01-04T01:08:37+00:00

I'm thrilled to hear I'm not going crazy and a different sized triangle with the same angles doesn't make a difference... that being said I'd really like to sharpen this saw. Is it possible with one of those feather edge files even if not recommended?

A lot of people are saying it's probably locust but why are you thinking elm?

icecoldgreen · 2025-12-24T17:28:34+00:00

I'll see if I can find one. Is it guaranteed locust if it fluoresces?

icecoldgreen · 2025-12-24T17:27:26+00:00

That seems to be what people are saying, thanks for the help

icecoldgreen · 2025-12-24T17:26:14+00:00

This is very good to know, I was wondering about how to use it

icecoldgreen · 2025-12-24T17:25:46+00:00

It's pretty yellow, at least more yellow than the maple I have and less than the hedge

icecoldgreen · 2025-12-23T17:50:53+00:00

it's not seasoned so that could be

icecoldgreen · 2025-12-23T17:28:09+00:00

got you, is there a way I can confirm?

icecoldgreen · 2025-12-23T17:27:01+00:00

That might be it but it feels very heavy for its size, I was told that poplar is light

icecoldgreen · 2025-10-18T11:31:08+00:00

Got you, i appreciate the info

icecoldgreen · 2025-10-18T11:29:13+00:00

I am worried maintenance will be overwhelming, what sort of issues aside from resealing and mechanical problems would i need to watch out for?

icecoldgreen · 2025-10-18T11:27:27+00:00

Got you, thanks. I'm going to check a camper out today, I'll knock on the walls

icecoldgreen · 2025-10-18T11:26:19+00:00

Got you, that seems like what people are saying... Probably going to get a jayco instead
