Replacing pumps is a given. Pumps last me an average of 2 years.

Have not done anything to it, other than replace the stack, in the 10 years I've had it.

CL-17 working through it's 22nd year. No major problems yet. Perhaps I'm just "lucky".

My "go to" saw for anything smaller than 8" is my Stihl 192T. Nothing beats a top handle for small limbs

Equipment / Re: Best chain sharpener?

« on: November 26, 2012, 09:20:25 AM »

I looked at the sharpener from Harbor Freight & it looked like a cheap collection of plastic parts.  But, they had it on sale & I had a coupon so, I figured “What the hell, for $20 I’ll take a shot”.  That was 3 years & a couple of hundred sharpenings ago. Now I keep 4 saws of my own going & do chains for 4 or 5 of my neighbors. Got to be the best 20 bucks I ever spent. Out in the woods, I can easily flip a spare sharp chain on the saw in the time it would have taken to hand file the dull chain.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: emptying ashes

At roughly 2 week intervals I remove the ashes. I empty the firebox completely and sift the ash through a 3/8” hardware cloth sieve into an old wheelbarrel tub. Anything that doesn’t go through the sieve goes back into the firebox as an ash bed to restart the fire.
