[TheForge] hydraulic chainsaws

[terry l. ridder]

hello;;

long time no write.

I am getting too  old to continue to fight with 2-cycle chainsaws.
i did learn my lesson about using gasoline with ethanol in it. the fuel
lines were turned to a glob of rubber. The Stihl chainsaws just do not
want to start for me.

i have seen several hydraulic chains. there are seeral used ones up for
sale and I am considering one of them. Just hook it into the read
hydaulics on the back of the tractor and start cutting.

I have several  dead chainsaws and figure it would worth asking if
anyone had ever used the pieces of a gas chainsaw to build an hydraulic
chainsaw. just a small hydraulic motor and a small trigger operated
spool valve.

I would appreciate any hints or suggestions as to how to get gasoline
chainsaws to start most of the time instead of none of the time.
